Love You Bunches 12x12 Scrapbook Layout

Hello everyone! Today I am stopping in with a super cute scrapbook layout I created using the KaDoodle Bug Designs Cutie KaToodles Love You Bunches file.  This file is perfect for Valentine's Day crafts or anything you want to add a little bit more love too.


Are these monkeys not the cutest!?!? I adore how one is peeking out from behind the other.....Too Cute!!!!


This KaDoodle Bug file comes complete with the monkeys, title and hearts.  All of my paper piecings are made using Bazzill Cardstock.  I also used Sei - Velvet Paper for "Bunches" in my title, two of the hearts and parts of the monkeys bow.  All of my pieces were cut using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and inked using Tim Holtz Distress Inks.


My scrapbook layout base page and photo mats are patterned papers from the ReCollections Valentine's Day Paper Pad.  I also used one of the cut a parts from the stack to create a small journal area.  I used the largest of the Lawn Fawn's Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables Dies to cut my photo and journal mats.

Below is a list of the supplies and materials used to complete this Valentine's Day Scrapbook Layout:

Valentine's Day Dino

Hello & Happy Monday my crafty friends! With Valentine's Day around the corner, I figured I'd try to get a head start on my Valentine's Day cards. Today I am sharing a card I created using the Cutie KaToodles Valentine Dino from KaDoodle Bug Designs.



Is he not the cutest little Dino you ever saw?!?!  This paper piecing was created using Bazzill Cardstock and was cut using my Cricut Explore Air 2.  The pieces were inked using Tim Holtz Distress Inks and were adhered together using Art Glitter Glue.

This is an A2 sized card and the card base was made using 110lb. ReCollections white Cardstock. The embossed card mat was cut from the ReCollections Valentine's Day Embossed Paper Pad. I added Stickles to the middle of some random hearts on the card mat to add some interest.

The sentiment in the middle of the heart is a stamp from the ReCollection's Valentine's Day clear stamp set. It was stamped using Versa Fine Onyx Black Pigment Ink.

Below is a complete list of supplies and materials used to create this super fun card:

Warmest Wishes.....

Hello & Happy New Year my crafty friends! It has been a while since I last posted and I apologize. With all the craziness of the Holidays and New Year and the typical everyday life happenings going on, life just got a bit crazy here for me. But, I am back and ready to get crafty again for the New Year.

It has been bitterly cold here on the East Coast lately. We had a blizzard this past week and with it being so frigid and miserable out, it has given me plenty of time to stay warm indoors and craft...YAY!!!

Today, I am sharing a card I created using the oh so adorable, "Winter Fuzzy Mouse" file from KaDoodle Bug Designs.


I needed to create some cute Winter cards and thought this file would be perfect. My paper piecing was created using Bazzill Cardstock. For his hat and scarf, I used cardstock from the "Sugar Shoppe" 6x6 paper pad from Doodlebug Design Inc. All pieces were cut using my Cricut Explore and were then inked using Tim Holtz Distress Inks.

The base of my card measures 4.5" x 6.25" (A6) and was made using 110lb. ReCollections White Cardstock. The patterned paper is again, from the "Sugar Shoppe" 6x6 paper pad from Doodlebug Designs Inc.

To create my "hills of snow", I used the "Stitched Scallop Dies" from Craftin Desert Divas. I also used the Craftin Desert Divas Stamp Set: "Winter Cheer" for my sentiment, which was stamped onto the bottom of the card using Versamark Ink and heat embossed with silver embossing powder from Hero Arts.

To finish off this card, I added Stickles to the snowflake that my adorable little mouse is holding. I also added some "Shimmer" sequins from Craftin Desert Divas, some beads of Nuvo Crystal Glaze and using my Posca white paint pen, added small dots throughout the background to add to my look of falling snow.

Below is a complete list of all products used to created this Wintery card:
