doodlebug design : i love my kiddos

We all try to make the most of and get the most out of our scrapbooking products.   Here are a few simple ways to do that, all wrapped up in one layout.

• Use stamps with versamark ink to add a bit of texture and subtle color to the background.
• Don't waste the scrap paper around punched shapes. Trim the negative space and use in your project.

• Make a paper clip embellishment. Add a strip of washi tape around the clip and ribbon cut the end. Add a banner alpha sticker and tie on some doodle twine. Cute, easy embellishment.
• Use black ink and label stamp to make your own labels. Stamp on white cardstock and trim.
• Handcut a trendy shape [or use a digital die cutter].

 

I love that Doodlebug products are so very easy to mix and match from different collections.    In this layout, I have used product form the following collections: feeling groovy, haunted manor, sweet cakes and lovebirds. 

I mixed trendy dot and chevron patterns with this cutesy little car to capture the photos my daughter took along our road trip.

A banner sticker was perfect to add onto the stickpin used as the antennae of the car.  Trailing along the back of the car is doodle twine and hearts. 

I also mixed alphabet stickers -- colors, sizes and styles.   

Try mixing some older products with the new -- create a new embellishment.
