Right here/Pretty Little Studio DT

Good morning everyone!!

Sarah here this morning to share a new layout with you using the XOXO Collection. I have to say that I really do love this collection! The colors are beautiful and all the pretty patterns! So many pretty bits and pieces, you can layer so much and I did a little layering of pieces in this layout.

I started out by picking out my picture and then pulling one of my favorite 8x8 patterned papers from the paper pack and adhered it to the bottom center of the page. I added a small blue photo mat around my photo and then place it at the top middle of the 8x8 paper that I had already placed down.

I liked my photo where I placed it, so I grabbed a few die-cut labels and bits and added them to the left side of my photo, tucking them under, behind and on top of it.

After I got that little bit of layering done, I jumped down to the bottom of the layout and pulled out a bunch of the die-cut circles and labels and started to lay them in a grid like design. Once I got them where I wanted them, I adhered them down and pulled out my flair buttons from the collection and picked three, and oh man was that hard cause I wanted to use them all!! lol.

Once I chose the three I was going to use, I pulled some black thread from my stash and made some little messy thread nests to go behind the flair buttons and glued them down. I went back and ruffled up the edges of the circles and papers behind my photo to add a little more dimension to my layout and then splattered a little bit of my shimmerz at the top to finish it off.

Thanks so much for checking out my layout and make sure to head to the shop and check out all the pretty new things coming in!

Hi everyone!! Im back today to share a new layout I made for the Pretty little Studio design team using the new and beautiful XOXO collection!

I loved the colors in this collection, purple is one of my favorite colors and I was so happy to see more of it showing up in scrappy collections this release! The teals and pinks are a great combo with the purple too!

I dont usually use color photos, but I thought it worked well enough with this collection, so I went for it! I started out with a larger purple rectangle in the center of my layout. I'm a sucker for polka-dots too, so I grabbed the tri colored dot paper and added a strip of it, off set and towards the bottom of the purple paper. Then I decided to see where exactly I wanted my photo.

Once I decided where I wanted my photo and backed it with some white cardstock, I started to add embellishments around my layout. I love the pack of blooms, and tucked them in here and there around my layout, along with some labels.

I was liking my layout, but I felt like it was off balance with the off set dot paper to the right, I thought I needed to add something to the left side too. So I pulled out one of the journaling cards from the collection and cut it into a tag shape and punched a hole in it. Then I grabbed those cute little hears and added them on top of the ampersand. 

I added a few more labels, tabs and blooms to the left of my photo. I added my title to the bottom of my photo and finished my layout off with a little shimmerz from my stash.
