BOOKS, COFFEE & CAKE || PRETTY LITTLE STUDIO

Today I want to share another Pretty Little Studio layout created with my favorite collection "Well Read". I scrapped a photo of my book-loving daughter: 

My two favorite papers in this collection are the one with the rainbows (Reading Raibow) and the one with the stripes (Happy Place) and I used those two for the top and bottom of my layout. 

I used my Big Shot die-cutting machine to create the words "Books Coffee Cake". The letters were cut from the paper called Book Fair.

Here are  a few more close-ups:

I totally adore all of the book & reading related ephemera in this collection and had such a hard time choosing which ones to add to my page. I would have loved to use them all! 

I wrote my journaling left of the photo and machine stitched around all sides of my page (twice) and also over many of the elements on my page. Last but not least I added dark green, white and pink paint drops. 

This is it, my layout is finished. Hope you like it.

Salty Air || Hey Summer Collection || Pretty Little Studio

It's been a long time since I've been here last! How time flies. Today I thought I'd share a layout I created for Pretty Little Studio using their fun Hey Summer collection. Here in the Netherlands it's all gray skies at the moment and I long for a bit of sun, so the choice for the collection was easy. For my layout I chose a photo of my two sons at Pier 39 in San Francisco last summer.   

Here's what I made:

I started this layout by tearing four strips of paper from a few of my favorite patterned papers in this collection: three for the top of my layout and one for the bottom. Next I chose a horizontal photo measuring 10 cm x 15 cm (4" x 6") and placed this on the strips of paper, a bit left of the center. I continued by placing four die-cut frames around and adding lots of other die-cuts and stickers.

Here are a few close-up photos: 

I'm not a fan of jellyfish, but this is one is too cute!

There are so many fun die-cuts in this collection, like that glass of lemonade. I just had to include it. 

I love creating little clusters like here with the shell, jellyfish, starfish and word die-cut:

When I had finished my layout I added machine stitching everywhere, yellow paint drops and a few lines of journaling and I was completely done! Hope you like it.
