Project 3: Barnyard Love Doodlebug Album

Here is my third project for my Doodlebug Design Team application! I love the way this mini album turned out! It took FOREVER, I think the final result was worth it! :)

I titled the album "Barnyard Love." Here is the cover. Isn't the Doodlebug metal bluebird brad adorable? I covered the tabs in Doodlebug paper:

The next pages say: "Cock-a-doodle-doo! I love you!" and "You're tweet." I inked almost everything in this album including all of the photo mats:

I loved how the grass turned out! I cut one of the green checkered Doodlebug border stickers: 

I think this is my favorite page in the whole album. It says, "I'm udderly in love with moo!" The tiny lady bug is the cutest:

The next page says, "You're berry special to me." This page also has a tiny strawberry Doodlebug boutique brad with a green rhinestone: 

This page says, "Hogs and Kisses!" The hearts and sun were cut from the Cricut Doodlecharm Cartridge that was designed by Doodlebug founder, Cynthea Sandoval. *I think that the lipstick kiss stamp is the only non-Doodlebug product in the album: 

I mounted most of the stickers on white card stock and used pop dots to add dimension to the entire album: 

This page says, "You make my heart giddy up!" Aren't the horseshoes perfect for the theme? And I love the tiny mouse holding the piece of cheese! Doodlebug makes the best products ever!

This one says, "I love ewe!" The yellow chicks are so tiny! The green Doodlebug paper with yellow flowers was perfect to make rolling hills:

I added tiny silver Doodlebug brads to the tractor wheels: 

I think this is the most creative page. "Why did the chicken cross the road?" Answer: "To tell you she loves you!"

The eggs with the little running legs fit perfectly with this theme. 

The rooster and hen have a baby on the way. Notice the tiny egg between them: 

The next page has a puppy theme and says, "I ruff you!" The brown Doodlebug brads have felt on them: 

The last page in the album has a spot for a love letter with an envelope and itty bitty card that I decorated to match the barnyard love theme: 

And of course I lined the inside of the envelope with matching barnyard paper: 

Love,

Sheenie

I used the Doodlebug Barnyard Collection, Doodlebug Jack & Jill Letter Stickers, Doodlebug Welcome Home Collection, Doodlebug Great Getaways Collection, Doodlebug On the Go Collection, Doodlebug Plain and Simple Chipboard album and the Doodlebug Go To Sketches Card Companion Kit.

Altered Notebook: Weight Loss Journal

This is my first official Miss Crafty Pink blog post. So here's a little about me: I live in Sunny Arizona and I love, love (ok, maybe we can even say that I'm obsessed with) scrapbooking. I've even had dreams about this hobby. I love it all. The glitter, the stickers, pearls, flowers, bows...seriously what's not to love? One of my favorite scrapbooking companies issued a design team call so I'm trying to build up my blog to apply! Even if I'm not selected, it still will be fun to post some of my projects on-line. Hopefully this little blog will inspire you! 

My first project is a weight loss journal that I made as a gift for my sister. She wanted it to say "Gonna be Bomb.com", meaning I wanna be really cute and fabulous. Well, I already think she's gorgeous, but here's what I came up with. Enjoy!

For the cover, I paper-pieced a woman's body using a template and added a little rhinestone for her belly button ring. I painted the entire cover with acid-free Modge Podge to help seal all of the paper elements and to protect the cover. The template is from a book called, "Treasury of Tips and Tricks" by Paper Crafts Magazine and Stamp It!. It's an oldie, but a goodie and you can still purchase it on Amazon.com here. 

Here are some of the inside pages. The stickers on the "Preliminary Measurements Page" are from Doodlebug, Rob and Bob Studio and SEI. It was a great way to use up some of the mismatched letter stickers that I have stashed away:

And of course, what weight loss journal would be complete without a way to reward yourself? For this page, I slipped some money in the library pocket to get a special treat!

A reminder to pamper yourself. Stamp image from Stampin' Up! I made the bubbles with diamond glaze and added giltter (my fav) for a special effect:

And of course, when you exercise and feel cuter, what lady doesn't want to splurge and go shopping? I slipped some more cash in the tiny envelope from Lasting Impressions and topped the page off with some cute alphabet and purse stickers from Doodlebug!

Love,

Sheenie
