XOXO / Pretty Little Studio DT

Morning everyone!!

 Sarah here to share a layout with you of my youngest boy. Now hes not little anymore but I love this picture of him sleeping and so small, they grow to fast!!

I made this layout with a combination of the Treasure Island collection and the Let's go travel collection.

 With this layout I was wanting to have a little bit of an odd grid pattern to this layout and I wanted it on the right side. So I centered my picture and then centered the, you are my world card with my picture and then started adding from there. I cut a few squares and sewed them to the page like I did the others and embellished them, I added a tag below the picture and then the title above the picture with bits of layering here and there and other small embellishments,

The left side of the page was completely bare so I sewed a strip of paper to that side and added a few little tags there and a lovely little flair badge. To finish it all I sprinkled a little of my Gold Heidi shine to my page.

I love the look of sewing on the papers, I love the dimension it gives! I did add little word stickers here and there on the layout, that you can see above, along with some 3D adhesive too for more dimension.

Good morning everyone. 

I'm sharing a layout created with Pretty Little Studios You&Me collection. Its suppose to be a valentines line but can be used for so much more.

This is a layout that is special to me and was also created as a gift for my sister. This layout is my Grandma, a very beautiful woman that we lost earlier this year to cancer. She was an amazing woman and I was so happy to get to spend time with her and let her get to know my kids and just have her in my life. 

This layout is actually of her and my sisters daughter and I thought it would be a nice memory for her to keep, I'm the scrappy one, so I thought I'd make it and put it in a frame for her so she can put it on her wall and see whenever she wants and so can her daughter.

I love this collection and how you can do so much with it. I added some triangles to the top left of my layout and the bottom right then sewed them down. After I had those down I started layering papers behind my photo. I added a doily and went in to the pretty cut-aparts and stickers to start my embellishing. I love the die-cut clouds, there so pretty. I grabbed my baby Chris wood alpha stickers and made my title but I wasn't quite happy with the look of it so I grabbed my American Crafts metallic gold pen and colored over then, I was happy with it then. I finished my layout off with some Heidi-shine and some water color splashes and a bit more sewing. 

I hope you enjoyed this layout and thank you for stopping by my blog! If you don't want to miss anything make sure to add me to your circle or follow me. Thanks!!

Pretty Little Studio / I love your smile

Good morning everyone!! How was your 4th of July?? I hope safe and fun and filled with memories. I think this year is the first year that I sat my phone down, this is what I take most of my pictures on, and really didn't take any pictures. I really enjoyed everything like watching the kiddos play and get covered in watermelon juice lol and playing in the pool and everyone enjoying the food and company, but I didn't pick my phone up once to document it and it makes me sad but happy at the same time if that makes since.lol 

Well I am here this morning to share with you my first layout for Pretty Little Studio design team!!! this is a layout I made of one of my daughters, this was just an everyday moment that I caught of her in the backseat of the car when we were going out to run errands. She just looked too cute with that big ol’ smile that I had to scrap it and the You&Me Love Story collection had just the perfect colors and pretty little die-cut clouds! I love those and don’t ever think I’ll be able to get enough!

I used a black and white photo and this is something I do a lot, unless something in the color photo means something to me. I love the fact that using a black and white pic can allow me to use any papers and embellishments that I want, even though this picture would have been fine in color because all the colors were pink and blue! lol

I started this page with a piece of 12×12 American Crafts card-stock and lightly drew out lines at un-even lengths and sewed them with my sewing machine across my page, some what in a way that they would look like sun rays coming out from behind the picture. After that I started layering the pretty You&Me papers behind my photo and then added a 6in Cambridge doily. The I pulled out that lovely set of Cloud9 die-cuts and started placing them around the layout.

When I got the clouds where I wanted I added some 3D foam behind some for some dimension and started placing them down. I wanted a little something across the bottom with a little pop of color there too, so I grabbed some yellow washi from my stash and layered it with the Priceless patterned paper and stitched it across as well.

To finish it all off I grabbed my Love Story word flags and used some of these as my title, something small and understated really, so that the rest of the page was the focus. I punched a few tabs out for above the photo with one of my punches and added some little word stickers from Silly Monkey, Silly Woody Words sticker sheet.

I hope you enjoyed my layout today and I hope you come back to see more! Make sure to head over to the Pretty Little Studio Blog and check out whats going on over there and all the beautiful inspiration!!
