I Love You || Pretty Little Studio

Hi friends! I'm here to share another Pretty Little Studio layout using the beautiful You Are My Sunshine collection. I chose this photo of my son with our Cocker Spaniel. It's one of my favorite photos of them together and I've been wanting to scrap it for months now. 


I was in the mood for a mixed media layout and found that the You Are My Sunshine collection is a perfect fit for this. I also unearthed some old Pretty Little Studio stamps (from the Oakley Avenue collection) which I used for the background.

I started my layout by tearing two strips of paper from the sheet called "Slice of Watermelon" and adhered these on top of each other in the middle of a sheet of white cardstock. I matted the photo on a scrap of red checkered paper from one of the Christmas papers and placed this on a couple of papers from the 6x6 You Are My Sunshine Accent paper pack. The strip of paper with the hearts is also from this paper pack.

Next I embellished my page with die-cuts, stickers and stamps. The clear stickers I printed myself on glossy sticker photo paper and is a digital product from the store called "Perfect Match Stickers".

The "best friend" sticker was just perfect:


There were so many embellishments I could put in use for this page, like this text label: 


From the Sugar Plum collection I used the punch-out hearts


I have a stash of words that I once cut with my Silhoutte Cameo, and chose one of those for my page: 


The red tag with the white dots is also a "Perfect Match" digital file from the store which I printed and fussy cut.

When I was happy with my page I added machine stitching, white, pink and orange paint drops and a date stamp and I was done! Hope you like it. 


Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and please don't forget to check out this colorful collection in the Pretty Little Studio shop

Pretty Little Studio Typewriter Layout

Hello friends, I thought I would share another of my layouts I created for Pretty Little Studio here on my blog as well. I created this with one of the Pretty Little Studio digital cut files and the two collections Sugar Plum and Well Read. 

I created a layout about my author-daughter: 



I got the idea for this layout when I spotted the "Floral Typewriter" cut file in de Pretty Little Studio shop. Last year I got a new Silhouette Cameo for my birthday and I haven't used it nearly enough, so when I spotted this cut file I instantly knew I wanted to do a page about my daughter who has two books published already and was busy writing a third when I took this photo. 

This is the cutfile "Floral Typewriter" I used. Isn't it gorgeous?


For the base I chose one of the Sugar Plum ledger papers and used mainly items from the Sugar Plum collection (there are lots of non-Christmas items in this collection), but also a few die-cuts from the Well Read collection. 

I chose a lot of bloom and stem die-cuts from the Sugar Plum collection and also the two little tags and placed these on the right side of the photo. Next I chose a phrase die-cut from the Well Read collection and adhered this over the photo. I typed up a line of journaling, printed this, cut it in half and adhered it below the photo: 


Left of the photo I added more bloom die-cuts and a journaling die-cut (Sugar Plum collection) and a little rainbow (Well Read collection): 


In the bottom left corner of the typewriter I created a little cluster with more blooms and stems (Sugar Plum collection) and a coffee cup and circle die-cut (Well Read collection):


In the top left corner of the typewriter you'll find more bloom and stem die-cuts, the top of a tag (Sugar Plum collection) and a little flag (Well Read collection): 


After I machine stitched my page with white thread I added a little bit of pink and white paint drops and I was done. 


I really love the result. If you want to check out the collections I used, please visit the Pretty Little Studio shop.
