Inspiration: November 2021 Page Maps Sketch
A few years ago, my oldest niece was going through a difficult patch so I put together a mini-album in which I stated 10 reasons why I loved her. I gave her the album and told her than when she was feeling down, she could pull it out and remember that she was loved. I had used the French Kiss collection from Doodlebug as she especially loves this company's products, and so I pulled out the same collection to make this layout here.
This was the last creation I had time to squeeze in before the Calvinball challenge came to an end and I made sure to include as many elements from the list as possible. The stickers themselves had quite a few elements that were part of the list: food/drink, dog, key and lock, bird, and scalloped border. And I fussy cut an airplane and clouds from the patterned papers. The sketch I drew inspiration from was 8½ x 11, but I stretched it to a 12" x 12" layout.
This collection is arguably one of my favorites from Doodlebug. I love the red, pink and aqua against the navy and I find that the patterned papers are a little less busy than Doodlebug's usual patterns, which helps me design with it more easily. The fact that it includes French words only adds to my love for it.
