Planner spread using the Sunkissed collection from Pretty Little Studio

Hello friends! I thought I would share the planner spread I made using the Sunkissed collection from Pretty Little Studio. I still have a lot of catching up to do with all of my planners so I decided to make this one for the month of August 2021 in my Happy Planner. This spread is all about our vacation in France and also about our 25th Wedding Anniversary! 

Here's what I made:


I started with cutting the "Snapshots" cut file from The Cut Shoppe (using my Silhouette Cameo) and backed all the letters with the sheet called "Itineray". As I did last time as well, I cut this cut file twice: once in white and once from the "Itinerary" sheet and only used the white "frame" from the first and only the colored letters from the other.


For the right page I printed a large photo of us on our Wedding Anniversary day and matted this on one of the Sunkissed ledger papers. 


On the right side of the photo I added a journaling card, a large title and two word flags. 


Below the photo I added two scalloped rows, some faux stitches and letter stickers. 


And above the photo I added a little cluster with two heart die-cuts, a flower and a label with the stamped date.  


Really loving the result. Before, I never knew what to do with the monthly overviews in my Happy Planner. These little spreads are the perfect solution for me.

Magical - Doodlebug layout for iNSD

Hello friends, last Saturday it was iNSD (International Scrapbook Day) and I decided to join in one of Doodlebug Design's challenges. I had an untouched "Fun at the Park" collection which I've been dying to use and because my daughter had been to Disney in Florida last October I had the photos to go with it. 

So here's what I made: 



And this is the sketch Doodlebug designed for iNSD:


I really adore this collection!! Here are a few detail photos; 





A happy layout for a very happy place! 

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Simple Things || Pretty Little Studio

Hello friends! Today I'm sharing my latest layout created with the beautiful Wildflowers collection from Pretty Little Studio. For this layout I chose a photo of a walk my friends and I took last weekend. Here's what I made:


I started this layout with the rainbow sheet of the 6"x 9" paper pad. I adore the rainbow papers in all the new Pretty Little Studio collections! Next I chose one of the 3"x 4" journaling cards and placed my photo on top. With a few flower die-cuts it already looked great!

Here are a few close-ups: 




I machine stitched around the layout twice and also over some of the die-cuts which adds a little extra interest. 


This is it! Thank you so much for stopping by our blog and please don't forget to check out this super beautiful Wildflowers collection in the Pretty Little Studio store

Loving This || Sugar Plum || Pretty Little Studio

Hello friends! Today I'm sharing another Christmas layout I created for Pretty Little Studio with the new and adorable Sugar Plum collection. I totally adore this collection and am happily scrapping all the Christmas photos I never got around to scrap before.  

Here's the layout I made: 


I started my page with the paper called "Peppermint Swirl". I cut off a small strip on all sides of the paper and adhered it on a sheet of white cardstock. I chose an older photo from our family taken at Christmas 2020 and placed this more or less in the middle of the swirl. On the right side of the photo I placed a 3"x4" journaling card and added a die-cut of that super cute little mouse. 


Above the journaling card I added die-cuts of a large flower, of a nutcracker and of some leaves. I love these nutcracker die-cuts so much!


In the bottom right corner of the photo I added a heart die-cut and on top a punch-out label with a quote. Below the photo and the journaling card I placed two scalloped borders. 


In the bottom left corner of the photo I added a floral and a stem die-cut and a clear "Dictionary" sticker:


And the last cluster of die-cuts was placed above the photo: a couple of ornaments:


I machine stitched around all sides of my page and over some of the die-cuts. Next I stamped the date and added some paint drops and then I was done!

I really love this new Sugar Plum collection! If you want to check it out, please visit the Pretty Little Studio shop.

COZY HOME || PRETTY LITTLE STUDIO

Hello friends! Today I'm sharing a Christmas layout created with the new and adorable Sugar Plum collection from Pretty Little Studio. This collection is so super cute! Right up my alley! 

Here's what I made: 


For this layout I started with the rainbow paper called "Rainbow Bright" and used two photos from last Christmas. On the right side of the photos I placed a 3" x 4" journaling card with that cute little mouse. 


Below the photos and the journaling card I placed scalloped borders with stripes and hearts. These are so awesome! Next I added two word die-cuts and lots of other die-cuts, like the stern looking nutcracker. I really truly adore this collection!

Here are a few close-ups:





After I machine stitched my page, stamped the date and added some paint drops I was done.

Pretty Little Studio Memorydex Cards || Sugar Plum

Hello friends! For today I've got something else to share: a memorydex card! I made this with the brand new Sugar Plum collection from Pretty Little Studio. This collection is so much fun! I think it's my favorite Christmas collection sofar! 

Here's what I made: 


Before this weekend I had never ever created a memorydex card, but then last weekend I saw a memorydex challenge on Instagram and decided to join in. And now I'm hooked! So I thought that for my Pretty Little Studio blog post I would create this cutie.  

Let me show you the card I created for the challenge as well, as I used Pretty Little Studio's Sugar Plum collection for that card too:


Isn't that mouse adorable?! 

So, now I've got two memorydex cards! It's not much but it's a start. Planning on doing many more!

Hello friends! Today I'm sharing annother Christmas layout made with the awesome Tis the Season collection from Pretty Little Studio. Loving the colors and designs in this fun collection! 


I'm a huge fan of really large die-cuts and this collections contains so many of them! In my last layout I used the large Santa and for this layout I chose the large polar bear with the Xmas tree and .........


.... the numbers 2 and 4. LOVE them!


I matted my photo twice and surrounded it with die-cut trees, a little tag with baker's twine and some greenery. I also added a few word stickers.


Above the photo I machine stitched the word "Joy" and added another word sticker:


After adding a bit more machine stitching, paint drops and 3 enamel dots (own stash) I decided my page was complete. Hope you like it!
