For my project this month I got out some Doodlebug Hip, Hip, Hooray and worked with a picture from my youngest son's birthday last week! Cathy (where you came from) created using this same line - how fun to see it used in two different ways!

I love the way Doodlebug's lines are coordinated and come together quickly and easily.  It leaves lots of time for my favorite part - the embellishing!  One of my favorite things to do with paper crafts is to look at paper and stickers and try to find a clever twist on their use.  I did a couple things today that were out of the box.  

First off I cut out the "Happy" word out of grid paper.

Makes for a one of a kind title doesn't it!?!

I also added the letters to spell out Dude on the little monsters at the bottom

Little details like this help to make the layout my own and full of surprise! 

As a Thank You for stopping by today I am going to do a Stash Busting Giveaway!  The winner will get one yard of each of the bakers twine rolls pictured below!  How fun will that be to receive!?!

You can do any or all of the following to enter:

1) Become a follower here

2) Like my Scrapping with Christine facebook page

3) Pin the layout picture onto Pinterest

And lastly leave me a comment to let me know which you have done!
