A Fabulous, Exciting, Wonderful, Squeal-Worthy Announcement!

Did you hear that really loud happy squeal the other morning!?!  That was me, sorry about that!  I just had a massive thrilling email in my inbox telling me that one of my biggest dreams was coming true!

 I made the 2016 Doodlebug Design Team!

  I have long been a fan of Doodlebug's products and have always had the dream of serving on their team!  I'm honored to be picked amongst all the other talented ladies and can't wait to get started! To celebrate I thought I'd share some of my favorite Doodlebug Projects that I have made over the last couple years!  This was a fun little trip down memory lane!

JustNick Cut files have combined nicely with Doodlebug products so I have done several layouts using the two for JustNick.

Crazy, crazy, crazy, time consuming string art backed with Doodlebug patterned paper and embellishments.  I made this over the summer, while in the car, and it took me hours.  I won't tell you how many ;).

This one comes from back when I was designing for Kiwi Lane Designs.

I love a good grid layout and although it's not complicated, this one that I did for My Creative Scrapbook tells the story well and makes me smile.

I actually did all the fussy cutting for this layout while I was on a road trip with my hubby.  13 hours in the car is the perfect time to do fussy cutting and stitching (so long as you aren't clumsy!). As you can tell this was for My Creative Scrapbook Kit Club last July.

Big fan of monkeys and big fan of fun!  Perfect for playing with Doodlebug in an effort to cheer someone up with.  This one dates all the way back to the fall of 2013.

I love adding a unique twist to patterned paper and that is played up on this Valentine card from 2014.

I always enjoy playing with Doodlebug's tree stickers!  It was fun to create this little scene on this Easter layout from a couple years ago.

The colors in last winter's collection were so much fun - I liked the color combination and fun stickers!

I created this one in October as the guest sketch designer for Scrap Your Stash.  

This is the oldest project in the lot - It makes me thankful for my nicer camera that makes photographing layouts an easier job :)  That said it is still a favorite design and I still have it hanging up in my scrapbooking studio and I had to include it!

 I made this one after my youngest turned two last year.  I love the little Dude Monsters :).

This one was also from last year and uses pictures of my youngest son checking out the flags at the cemetery (behind our house) on Memorial Weekend.  I loved the way the products all came together to draw the eye in on the pictures for this one.

 Knowing how much I love color, fun patterns, and whimsical designs you can see why I just love Doodlebug!  I am so looking forward to a year of playing and inspiration!  Thanks for joining me on this fun ride!
