Neat and Crafty: Doodlebug Design DT

Merry Christmas and happy holidays I hope everyone is enjoying being with family

And all the kiddos are have lots of fun on holidays ... it’s been a bit warm here in Queensland Australia and my little kitty loves laying in front of the fan chilling out and he always looks so cute.

I started my layout using pretty snowflakes layering over it with my white cardstock

Machine stitching around the edges then next using a pretty blue patterned paper and and my cameo to cut out the

Stars from the silhouette store design id 236947

After it was cut out I added the star design to the left hand side and machine stitched a line down the middle to hold it in place

Next I added layers of patterned paper behind my photo from the petite prints dots and stripes 6x6 and the Christmas Town 6x6 and a Lily white doily

Then using the diecuts from the odds and ends and chit chat pack I added part of my title and a few snowflakes

Around my photo along with a sticker from the this and that sticker sheet

Using a bit of patterned paper from the 6x6 Christmas Town and some twine I created a tag to tuck underneath my photo layers

I then added a cute little Christmas tree doodle pop to the side of my photo just overlapping the photo and snowflake diecut. I wanted to add the cute little hearts from the icons sticker sheet

And to finish off my layout I added my title underneath my photo

this is my last project for Doodlebug, I’ve had an amazing time playing with all the beautiful bright and fun products and I hope you have enjoyed all my creative inspiration.

I’m so in love with this little deer it’s totally cute but everything about this collection is totally adorable and I really love the colours and patterned papers..

Each year we would go and take photos on Santa’s chair in the shopping centre as our youngest daughter was terrified of Santa and would non stop cry so this was the best idea to get that happy Christmas photo.

I started off by cutting out a Christmas tree shape with my silhouette cameo with 3 separate parts that I could layer on top of each other and using my fringing scissors I added a fringe along the bottoms of each part of the tree and layered them all and machine stitched each layer then adhered them together and on the background

Then I was thinking I need a bit of colour at the top of the layout so I cut a strip of patterned paper then using the border stickers from the this and that sticker sheet and put them across the bottom of the patterned paper strip then adding a few little die cuts from the chit chat pack then machine stitching across the middle of the sticker

Then I mattered my photo on patterned papers from the 6x6 paper pad then added it to my card stock just tucking it under the edge of the tree. Then I started adding die cut pieces from the chit chat and odds and ends pack until I was happy with the placement of each piece then it was time to add the title I used Xmas for part of my title from the chit chat pack and the rest of my title from the this and that sticker sheet.
