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.

Jingle All The Way || Step-By-Step for My Creative Scrapbook || Simple Stories Mix and A-Mingle

Hello friends! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Here is another Xmas layout, which I created using the awesome December Creative Kit from My Creative Scrapbook. This month the Creative Kit features the "Mix and A-Mingle" collection from Simple Stories.  

This is the layout I created the step-by-step for:

For this layout I started with the sheet with all the fantastic tags:

I cut all the tags apart and used all 15 of them to create a "Christmas Tree". To do this I placed 1 tag at the top, 3 tags in the second row, 5 tags in the third row and 6 tags in the fourth (bottom) row. 

Using my Crop-A-Dile a punched a hole in all of the tags and threaded bakers twine through all the holes: 

With a little bit of glue I glued them in place, but I used my sewing machine to really fix them in place.  I used different stitches for added interest: 

And this is how the layout in progress looked after stitching: 

Now, all I had to do was place my photo on top (in the bottom left corner) and add die-cuts and stickers on the right side and above the photo:

I also added small embellishments on some of the tags.: 

After stamping the date on one of the tags my layout was finished. Hope you like it! 

Here's a photo of the December Creative Kit I used: 

For more information about this kit (and the other 3 kits of this month) please visit the My Creative Scrapbook website and if you want to see the photos of all projects created by the design team with the various kits, please visit the Design Team Gallery.

Wishing you all a wonderful day!
