Blissful Thanksgiving to all my American pals! Right now I wished to take a second to replicate on gratitude. I am so grateful for the chance to design for Doodlebug- an organization whose merchandise at all times encourage me to create with pleasure. It is a privilege to share my love of crafting with such an unimaginable neighborhood, and I hope this layout- that includes the merely beautiful Farmhouse assortment, brings somewhat inspiration to your day!
As I sat right down to create, I used to be drawn to the This and That sticker sheet. That is at all times an excellent beginning place for me as a result of I look right here for titles. The “start every day with a grateful coronary heart” was simply what I used to be searching for. These phrases felt particularly significant as we have fun a season of gratitude. I wished to design a fast and easy format that may carry this stunning sentiment to the forefront. I constructed a layered cluster round this sticker with a tag, stamp, and coronary heart die cuts from the Bits and Items ephemera and a few stickers.
I balanced the design with a selfie photograph matting it with some Coral Textured Cardstock. I added a Bon Bon Doily for some added texture on this grouping. Beneath my photograph is a border of lovely florals and leaves from one of many die cuts within the Bits and Items.
Up within the high left nook of the format is one other grouping of elaborations in addition to my journaling. The pop of black within the elaborations paired nicely with my black-and-white photograph. You too can see that I lower out one of many tags from the Buffalo Plaid patterned paper. Right here you may as well see the sample papers I used on my format – the gorgeous plaid on the Nation Quilt paper, the beautiful mint on the Farmhouse paper, and the scrumptious dots on the Woodland Berries paper.
I really like all of the tag shapes which might be discovered within the assortment so alongside the left facet of my format, I selected 5 tags – 3 from the Bits and Items and a pair of lower from the Give Thanks tag lower aside paper. I tied some Beetle Black Doodle Twine to some of the tags to tie within the black and white colours.
As I replicate on this challenge, I’m reminded of the significance of gratitude – not simply throughout the vacation season, however on daily basis. I hope this format evokes you to have fun the massive and small moments of life with a grateful coronary heart.
