EASTER FAMILY FUN - Doodlebug Design

Time is passing so fast, and we are all getting ready to celebrate Easter!   Though my kids are not little anymore, I still have so many memories of all the times they loved all things bunny for this holiday.  So, I pulled a few pictures and the fun BUNNY HOP collection to create this layout.



 I wanted to pull colors and patterns to my layout, so the idea of creating a sunburst design just popped in my mind.




I pulled some 12x12 paper pieces and 6x6 Paper Pad pieces, and trimmed them into long triangles.   I made sure that I had two of each  -for most of them-, and then started playing with them to create   the formation you see in the photo..




I set them on white cardstock, making sure that they sat on the top right quarter of the page.   I used a bit of foam adhesive to raise the ends of each triangle; this help to separate them bringing texture, dimension and interest to the page.






I added one of the border stickers to the edge of the sunburst formation, this helps to encase the papers. Then, I set the photos at the junction of all the paper tips ( the photos are framed with a paper from the 6x6 paper pad).   I added a few stickers to the top left corner of the photos  following the line of the paper strips.





To balance the page, I am using the bottom left quarter of the page to create my title.  Here I mixed pieces from the Chit Chat pack and a few stickers. I made sure that the title was long so it sat under the photos.  I added  a few Sprinkles throughout the page, making sure they helped to bring your eye to specific areas of the page.





I love how this turned out, and it was so much fun to play with paper for this design. I hope it inspires you to use the BUNNY HOP collection for your next project!

BUNNY SMILES

It has been  a long winter season, and  I am so looking forward to a change of weather and Easter.   So, when the new BUNNY HOP collection arrived, I quickly pulled the perfect pictures to document with this beautiful collection.





How cute is this!!  I had an idea of weaving paper for a page, and when I saw the  color stripes in  the Bunny Hop paper, I  quickly put this together.




I trimmed just one strip of each of the colors in the Bunny Hop paper, then weaved then on slight angle.  I glued them onto white cardstock, and trimmed the excess white cardstock.   I framed the page with the Everything Easter paper.




First, I set my title in place.  For this, I mixed Chit Chat with Gold Alphabet Soup  to create my title, and placed it in the top left quarter of the page,   I combined a few pieces Bits and Pieces with stickers to add a small floral cluster here.




Next, I cut two tags and used them as layers behind my photo.   I set them on my page on an offset following the angle  of the paper strip.  I repeated the flower cluster and a few extra stickers.




Next, I added one last cluster at the left bottom corner of the photos.   I pulled two bunny die cuts and added a  few extra details to this cluster.  I completed my page with a few Sprinkles




I love how this turned out, and I cannot wait to continue using the beautiful BUNNY HOP collection to document my memories

Pinkfresh Studio February 2024 “Pure Joy” Release

 



Hi there!

Welcome to PINKFRESH STUDIO FEBRUARY 2024 "PURE JOY" RELEASE.  We are celebrating this amazing release with lots of inspiration and prizes.   You can find a list of all the participants at the bottom of this post for your convenience




There are so many beautiful products available in this release, and it was super fun and tricky to just choose a few to play with.   I settled for the Dotted Petals Press Plate and  Cherry Blossoms die for this layout:



I just love the combination of these two products in this layout.  The movement in the Cherry Blossom die cuts was the inspiration for this page.




For all my die cuts, I am only using the Cherry Blossom die, but varying the colors of the flowers and leaves.  I used coordinating cardstock in shades of pink, blush, and peach to create all my flowers.  Then two shades of green and brown  to create the stems and leaves.




I wanted a soft look for the flowers and a soft change in the colors for this page.  It was fun to put this together.



Next, it was all about building the background.  For this, I chose the Dotted Petals Press Plate. Using Detail Black Ink, I created two panels on Pinkfresh Studio Watercolor paper ( soon to be available).   I carefully trim around the panel so that I can have that scalloped edge around it.   My idea was to have it in the center of the page, so, I cut one of the panel in half and set them in a straight line across the patterned paper.



Next, I used the Cherry Die cuts to weave them down the vertical column of Dotted Petal panels.  I made sure to use just one color of Cherry Blossoms per section.   Next came the photo, and a few embellishments from Lovely Blooms, and  Garden Bouquet collections.  OF course, I needed a pop of gold, so, I used Metallic Gold pearls around the page.




I just love how this turned out! And I hope it inspires you to check the entire release, it truly is amazing!!
