“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!

The “Adorable You” layout caught my attention right away when I saw it in the Spring issue. Lisa, I love your interpretation of it and how you took it a step further by incorporating journaling and extra photos. I’m inspired to try the same thing with my Silhouette. BTW, the free cut file is actually a .jpeg and not a cut file.

Doodlebug always makes the cutest papers! I’d love to win the collection, even though my girls are a bit too grown up for it.
The Doodlebug designs are really cute. I love the cute fish stickers and the striped papers. The red, white & blue paper from Pebbles, along with the letters and florals give me a lot of ideas which is what paper crafts are all about, right?
I’m in love with the colours in ‘Adorable You.’ That will be my next attempt, but I’m sure it won’t be as cute. The Swim Fast page is displayed very well. The colours are my favourite. The water is the same colour as the ‘W” & the images on the letters look great.
Beautifully done and so FUN! I love both layouts!!
Shanna 🙂

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.
I am working on my Washington, DC scrapbook, so the Pebbles red white and blue would be great to create with!
Love the big letters! The prizes are pretty darn good, too!
I loved the original layout when I saw it in SCT and you’ve done a great job of re-interpreting in a really fun way. Both of the prizes are great.
