XOXO Darling/Pretty little Studio feature Friday

Good morning everyone and happy Friday!! Yay its the first day of the weekend! We have family coming in to stay, so lots of fun here, what are your plans for the weekend??

Well this morning I'm here to share my first layout made with the beautiful With all my heat collection. This collection is beautiful online, but OMG its even more so in person!!!  Today I'm focusing on patterned papers.

I used multiple patterned papers to make a big impact and focus but its confined to just a few places on the layout.  I liked the idea of so many patterns on a layout but I wanted a way to separate them and draw focus, so I did this with cut-files. These gave me a way to add bright pops all over and have them focused right behind the photo and draw your eye in.

I put four different papers on one heart and then added a fifth behind a second heart, then layered a few labels with one of the word stickers and a pretty grey heart sticker.

I layered a few of the pretty flower stickers and dit-cuts before adding my title. I went simple with it, XOXO darling. I thought it was sweet for this little smiling picture of my daughter in her car seat.

I finished my layout out off with a little cluster in my upper left corner and that was it.

Everything in this collection is just amazing! I hope you enjoyed my take on featuring patterned papers on a layout out in a more minimal way, with a big impact.

Good morning everyone!! I'm here this morning to share with you a layout I created with this months Cocoa Daisy kits, featuring the beautiful Pink Paislee rub-ons.

I love this photo of my daughter and her big ol' smile!I wanted it to be the focal point of the layout. So after I matted the photo with some of the very pretty papers in the kit this month and found where I wanted to place my photo and grabbed that beautiful pack of rub-ons and started to place them in a half circle coming from the photo.

I loved the way it looked but I wanted a little more color in the circle so I put the pretty water color doily one right under the side of the photo and put my title down. I added a small triangle to the bottom left of the layout and added a rub-on there, those run ons go on like butter by the way! And I added a small triangle to the top left and was done.

This layout came together super fast!! I know its a very simple layout, but the way it turned out I was so happy with! These rub-ons were a beautiful addition to this layout and were something so pretty to use as a focal point.

I hope you enjoyed seeing this simple layout and I would love to see what you do with the rub-ons too!! Make sure to come back by and check out what everyone is making with there kits and come join the facebook challenge group and play along with us over there too!!

Hello Fall / Feature Friday with Pretty Little Studio

Good morning everyone!! So who's happy its Friday???!!??! ME!!

Well before my weekend starts, I wanted to share a fun little layout with you all using the beautiful Oakley Avenue collection, Ashley Horton created. You will probably be seeing quite a bit of this collection being used for a while by me. I love it! The colors can be used for so many things and I'm really digging them with my fall pictures.

Well this week I played with a bit of the flair from the collection, because come on there just too cute! I love flair to though! lol I could probably use it on everything! I have a daughter that keeps trying to swipe them and I'm like nope, look here's a pretty piece of paper for you, now give mommy back her pretties! lol

So for my layout I started out with the die cut arrows, I loved them and thought they would be great for a background, so thats where that started. Then I started layering the papers. I decided I wanted another natural and loved the color of the paper bag some of my kit came in with the kit so I added that. I Ran some of the patterned papers threw my Silhouette and cut out some leafs, layered those and then started in on the cute little tabs and tags.

I used die cuts from one of the die cut packs for my title, then it was time to grab my flair. So to be perfectly honest, I had to pull myself back and be like, thats to much!! lol I wanted to use a whole pack of my flair on one layout, but I got onto my self and pulled back. lol

I added some thread clusters under my flair, added my journaling and finished off with a little sprinkle of Gold Heidi Shine.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out this layout and make sure to go to the Pretty Little Studio shop and grab this collection and make sure to grab the flair!! lol

Morning everyone!! Sarah here to share another layout made with some awesome Pretty little Studio collections. I've been on a bit of a kick creating boy layouts lately. I love my pretty little girl ones with flowers, pink and all but I enjoy the change up.

With this layout I'm featuring stickers. 

I played with my stickers in a few different ways, well I used them like you would any other sticker, by just sticking them to the page,lol, I made a little epoxy flair with one of the gold camera stickers and I used a whole sheet of the mini Alphas for a layer in my layout. And on top of that I ended up layering part of my title, that was a sticker lol, over the sheet of them.

I started on the left side of my layout with the cute cloud paper, Seattle, I started layering behind my photo, added some tags, labels and it still was missing something so thats when I decided to add the sheet of stickers behind my photo. I loved the way it looked, its a pretty color and I love the little letters as another layer. After that I added a few cut-files from the cut shoppe, a few more stickers and cut out a few of the clouds from the Seattle paper, added some thread behind the lovely flair.

Good morning everyone!! 

I'm here today to share a layout I created with the Beautiful, Here comes the Sun collection created by Marie-Pierre Capistran over at Pretty little Studio.

This week I'm featuring the beautiful clear polka dot sheet from her collection. I love the look of it and have it layered in two different places on the layout.

I started out splattering my background with some gold color shine and layering papers to show off the collection and photo. I sewed the clear sheet to the paper and then added some of the cute paper with those little flamingos on it! I matted my picture with some white card stock and layered a card behind to add some color.

I wanted to have more going on on the top so I added my tags and journaling there, This isn't something I usually do, I'm not big on showing my handwriting lol but I'm trying to get use to it, pushing myself  a bit with that. But I also added a bit of that pretty clear paper behind that tag as well, couldn't help it I loved the way it looked.

To finish everything off I grabbed a few of the die-cut packs and started pop dotting and layering, a bit more sewing and that was it.
