“I loved the big bold type on Cynthea Sandoval’s “Adorable You” layout in the spring issue (page 69) and I wanted to create a similar look on my page.
I used a block font to create the letters, cutting some from patterned paper and others from photos to create my title. I added small embellishments like enamel shapes, paper clips, and rub-ons to the letters to give them some extra detail and dimension. Thanks, Cynthea, for the inspiration to create this page!

I've always said that Doodlebug designs just make me happy. I was so lucky to have taken a couple of classes with the Doodlebug ladies at Crop & Create in Markham a couple of years ago. Loved every minute!

I can picture making some awesome pages with the Doodlebug Design products especially for my youngest daughter. After seeing the pages, I can picture some perfect cottage pics that would fit well into a page like those.
