My National Scrapbook Day Celebration at Doodlebug- Part 2!

Welcome back! 

Are you excited to see the rest of the fabulousness that is the Doodlebug Office?

Get ready for more color, more fun and more cuteness :)

Recognize the cute pattern framed on the wall?

It's from Hello Spring.  They had frames with their paper all over the offices.

Can you imagine all the goodies in those boxes?

Pretty much everything they're ever produced is in this huge warehouse, and this is only a few aisles.  This warehouse was huge!

I loved Cynthea's cute cupcake and bubblegum office.

Her pillows were from IKEA.  She even has her own bathroom!

LOVE.

Can you picture Cynthea driving in a lifesize version of this car? :)

The filming room where Stacy did her live broadcast:

 Recognize some of these from their ads?

Her Creative Crop challenge was to create a layout with a "fanciful frame."

 This is another one of their cute classrooms.  They have three- the one Stacy filmed in, this one, and the one Stacy did another class in I'll show you below.  This is where Cynthea taught a layout class.

 Here's a peek at one of the layouts they made.

And this is the class Stacy taught later in the day.  I wish I could have stayed for it, I heard it was wonderful.

I headed over to Paper Creations, a great scrapbook store in Salt Lake City, to teach a class for Doodlebug.  I designed a 2 page layout for the class using Hello Spring.

 It was a great class, with very sweet fun ladies.

They actually spent the entire day there taking one class after another.

 We did prize drawings, and the ladies and I had a lot of fun.

Here's a layout in progress

The classes were all done by major Utah-based scrapbooking manufacturers.  They had classes by My Mind's Eye, Authentique, Bo Bunny, Basic Grey, Doodlebug, Echo Park, and more.

Echo Park was right after my class, and Madison Parker himself came to teach the class, so I got to talk with him for a bit.  He and Cynthea are two of the nicest, down-to-earth people you'll ever meet.

I spent the rest of the day at home with my family celebrating my son's 6th birthday.

We took him to dinner at his favorite restaurant, and then to a place that had laser tag, skating, bounce houses, arcades, and bowling.  It was a great fun-filled day- and I was exhausted by the end of it :)

Thanks for visiting and coming on my National Scrapbook Day tour.

I hope your NSD was filled with paper, die cuts, stickers, ribbon, glue and lots of creativity!

My National Scrapbook Day Celebration at Doodlebug! (Part 1 of 2)

Are you ready for the most colorful blog post you've ever seen?

No- seriously.

I was lucky enough to spend National Scrapbook Day at the Doodlebug offices in Salt Lake City, Utah and teach a class for Doodlebug as well.  An office can't have any more cuteness than this one.  What a fun place to work!  You're going to love these pics.  I'll even show you Cynthea Sandoval's office!  

This post, and all the pictures I took means that I'll have to do two posts- so here's Part 1, Part 2 is tomorrow!

I was greeted by this iconic sign as I entered the front door:

 

and check out the lobby!  Don't you wish every office was this fun?

 

Stacy Julian did a live broadcast for Big Picture Classes, as well as a scrapbooking class. She was so fun, and has such a great bubbly personality :)

 These darling bags were for all the class participants.  Each one had a key chain, button bracelet, Northridge Publishing magazines, a flower pin, note pad, name tag, 8x8 album, jewels, and page kits for the classes.  Each person also received a yummy boxed lunch with all the perfect details, from the polka dot napkin and "swimming pool" colored fork, to the cute Doodlebug colored candies. (and yes, I'm probably the only one there who didn't take a photo of their cute lunch- I was in a hurry to get to a class I was teaching :)

 I was so excited to see Cynthea and Lori again, and I got to meet Wendy!  Wendy Sue Anderson is on the Doodlebug Design Team with me, and you'll also know her from the Create: blog and Northridge Publishing magazines.

From left to right: Wendy Sue Anderson, Me (Tiffany Hood), Cynthea Sandoval (owner, founder and creative genius behind Doodlebug Design) and Lori Allred (Design Team Coordinator and Blog Coordinator).

 Now... ready for the fun part?

Entering the Doodlebug store! (only open for this special event)

 These darling banners were made of a variety of Doodlebug paper lines.  Recognize the designs?

 And look at this store!

Cynthea's brother-in-law built all of this furniture!

I want to hire him! :)

 These cute displays were at the register.

 If you're thinking "I haven't seen these border and letter stickers before" it's because they're brand spanking NEW!

They were printed the day before we were there!

I'm so excited to use them!

 Look at the adorable "Hello Spring" bird in the tree!

 Color, color, and more COLOR!

Just makes you happy, doesn't it?

 This is Doodlebug's latest fabric line for Riley Blake fabrics.

It's the "Tuxedo Collection" and it matches the "Classic Collection" of paper!

 This cute dress was actually made of paper!

 

Stay tuned for more fun, I'll post the second half tomorrow with more pics, including classrooms and Cynthea's office!

What did you do for National Scrapbook Day?
