Its a beautiful day / Pretty Little Studio DT

Good Morning everyone! Its been a while but I'm back and ready for my newest post for Pretty Little Studios and using there new collection, Savannah Dreams 

I do have to say that I love this collection, not only are there 12x12 papers but the colors!! Beautiful! I do have to say I'm looking forward to Bohemian Dreams too!! Make sure to head over to the site and check it out and pre-order it!! You wont be disappointed!!

Anyways, back to my layout lol.

 

I chose a picture of  two of my goofy girls on the trampoline this past summer, just having fun. I fell in love with the Inner Artist paper when I saw this collection, so I pulled it, knowing that I wanted it to be a larger feature on my layout. I started by cutting one six inch strip and putting it on the right hand side of my layout, but I wanted a little more of it and a place to tuck things under, so I cut another strip and layered it on top of the piece I had already taped down, then I distressed the edges a little and moved on to layering behind my picture.

 

I put a few layers behind the photo, pulled out the Label it die cuts and started to tuck them in, coming out from the left hand side of the photo. I have a huge love for the 6in doilies on the PLS site, so I added one to mat my photo and all its layers, plus its just so pretty!! lol

 

At this point, to me it was obvious that it was time to add some flowers and my title. So I pulled the die cut packs and started sorting threw all the pretties and set aside all the ones I wanted to use, this can become a problem with me though, lol, because I will end up wanting to try and get them all on one layout! lol But there so pretty so really is it a problem?lol

 

I added florals, tucked little messy thread nests here and there and then added a little floral embellishment cluster to the left hand side of the layout. I chose to do this because I had managed to put pretty much everything towards the right side of my layout. Adding the cluster to the left made it balance out a little for me.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my layout and make sure to head over to the Pretty Little Studio shop and check out all the pretties there are to buy!!

Well its Sarah here again to share my take on sketch #304!

I started my layout by grabbing the Maggie Holmes Shine collection from my stash and the goofy pictures of me playing on snapchat.

I wanted to do mine a little different so I went with circles and a cut-file for one of my layers. I knew I wanted the cut-file from the Cut Shoppe to be my 1st layer behind my photo, so I started out with backing it and then adding pop dots to the back to five some dimension.

After I did that I grabbed that pretty black and white stripped paper and the blue dotted paper and cut them into circles about the same size.  I added a doily in between them from Pretty little studios. I love those doilies! I added all the papers, cut-file and doily down at an angle, like the sketch. I added a tag in from the ephemera pack that went along with this collection and backed another circle with some of the same patterned paper as the res of the cut-file and slid it behind the tag.

I decided I wanted to add a few floral stickers and stems from the ephemera pack, I grabbed a few little chipboard hearts from the chipboard sheet too. I love that camera from the sticker sheet but have never used it and with this being pictures of me, I figured it would work great! lol So I added that and placed my title on top. To finish my layout off I grabbed my Heidi Swapp black color shine and did a bit of splattering and called it done.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my take on this fun sketch and I hope you play along with us too!! Make sure to share your creations with us on Instagram @creativescrappers #creatingwithsketches

Loved / 12x12 LO Stash Scrapping

Hello everyone! 

Today I thought I'd share a layout with you that I created a while back. I'm just now getting the bloom collection, yes I know, so late to the game here!! lol But I still love it and all the pretty little pieces!

If you follow me on instagram, facebook or here on my blog, you might know I recently had a baby. I didn't think I would share some of the layouts that I created because they were quite personal. But having a baby is personal and not always completely...covered I guess, lol so some I wont scrap/share lol, but I thought this one was ok to share and I love this picture! One of my favorites from that day.

The day I had her was so CRAZY, I was actually at the hospital 2 times that day and finally had her. My mom got to be there and thats who you see in the picture with me, so I have three lovely generations here. It was amazing.

Ok so back to the layout, lol. I started with a cut-file with this layout. I dont usually do that, I usually have papers or a collection or a group of things in mind but I found this cute little deer and it had little hearts on it. I know I wanted to scrap this picture and that deer was to precious so in my mind it was perfect. 

I pulled out my bloom collection and backed my little dear, placed it on a white background and started my layering behind my photo, adding a gorgeous doily from Pretty little studio. I did a little fussy cutting for those flowers, they were begging to be fussy cut! 

I wasnt happy with the layout on just the white background, I wanted more color but for it to be kept simple still so I trimmed it down and put the pink and white plaid behind it and was happy with the pop of color and drawing more of the pink out. I added few of the chipboard pieces and pulled out my gold glittered word thickers and finished it off with a little bit of gold color shine.

This just Happened / 12x12 stash scrap

When I cleaned my scrap room a while back, I found a bunch of partial kits or left overs, bits and pieces from when I was on the Hip Kit club design team. So I thought I might as well bust into them and start to play with them some more. They have a lot of life left to them!! lol

I had seen some papers that had a water colored look to them, but I didn't have one in the colors I wanted, so I decided to make one and I LOVE the way it turned out. I also thought Id use one of the Hip Kit files and stitch on my page, but I decided to use this metallic gold embroidery floss, yeah not something I'll do again!! I love the way it turned out and all but man was it a pain. I've sewn with regular embroidery floss and it was way easy, but for some reason this metallic stuff got stuck SOOOO much and separated constantly! 

Anyways, lol, it turned out good and thats all that matters to me :)

This layout is about my daughter and hubby. They were just sitting on the couch watching TV, my daughter was eating golf fish, she turned and asked daddy if he wanted one, of course he said yes, but when she went to feed it to him she did like we use to when we fed her, lol, we'd open our mouths trying to get her to do the same and she thought she had to show him how to too lol. To funny.

Here are a few up close pics for ya to check out, hope you enjoy it and come back to see what else I make, thanks :)
