Booking it with Scor-pal

Hi there! This is Tya and I wanted to show you the cute mini album that I made using my Scor-pal and the awesome Urban Traveler Line from Simple Stories. I was inspired by this mini album and tweaked the measurements and the theme to make it a travel album. Thank you Dawn for the inspiration!

Doodlebug and Kiwi Lane

Hello everyone! Hope all is well and that you are enjoying Spring! I love this time of year - flowers are blooming, the windows are open and I just want to get outside and enjoy it all!

This week on the blog the Doodlebug Design Team has been featuring products using templates from Kiwi Lane Designs - stop by and check out their site for all the details on this super fun tool that you can use to spice up your layouts! So fun!

I was given the Tiny Shapes templates to work with as well as one that I already had to make the rolling grassy hills along the bottom.  I decided to use the shapes to make this cute 3-D hot air balloon Thank you card.

I used the circle and half of the hexagon templates to make the hot air balloon. To make the 3-D element you simply cut out 4 circles, fold them in half and layer them next to each other to make them pop off the card. Super simple and easy, yet eye catching as well. I also added a few fussy cut clouds on top of the cloud pattern paper background for a little more 3-D fun. I used Doodlebug's new Flower Box line for all of my supplies.

Happy Spring everyone! And thanks for stopping by for a peek!

Doodlebug projects - Stars and Stripes and Take Note

Hey everyone - just wanted to add my 2 projects here that were showcase on the Doodlebug Design blog these past few weeks. We have been highlighting the 4 new lines that Doodlebug release at Winter CHA,. Previously I showed you Flower Box, and Fruit Stand. This time I am showing you the projects that I did for the Stars and Stripes and Take Note lines, which of course are darling as usual!

First up is this cute photo tray featuring the Stars and Stripes line. It is one of my very favorite patriotic lines of all time because it has that beautiful pop of teal blue in it that I think just accents the red, white and blues of the line perfectly.
I can't believe how little my kids look in these photos - this was taken a few years ago but I loved the pics of the kids doing sparklers for the first time.

The next project I did was this fun little desk set using Doodlebugs Take Note line and a Silhouette die cut for the holders. My 2 favorite things right now - Doodlebug and my Cameo - love :)

Thanks for stopping by for a visit! Happy Scrapping!
