5 Kinds of happy/ Pretty little Studio Pinsperation

Good morning everyone! How are you doing? I hope well. We've had some nasty weather for the last week, so I am really hoping that it finally breaks tomorrow, I want to see the sun!!

Well I'm here this morning sharing a layout inspired by a picture from Pinterest.

I like pisperation because from one little picture like this, there are so many different way you could go with your layout, card or project. You can go with color, brush strokes, words or the little saying on the bottom, and in my case I went with the little saying at the bottom. To be honest, I was going to play with the brush strokes on a page, but those four little words just kept coming back to me, so I went with that.

I used those words as a jumping off point for me and based my layout around it. I went through my pictures and found five of my kids, me and my hubby and other family. I laid my photos there I wanted them and then started to layer bingo cards behind one, tags here and there under photos. 

I added little heart die-cuts and a few circle ones here and here. I pulled out some of the labels and layered them down at the bottom left and added my title, five kinds of happy to it and started my stitching. I stitched my title, through my little scalloped ephemera and all the way around my layout, all in black. Once I did that I decided I wanted a little more definition around my photos and other pieces, so I lightly traced around them with a pencil and was happier with the way it looked.

Thanks so much for stopping by and seeing what I came up with for this pinsperation picture and I hope to see you play along too!

Morning everyone!!

 Thanksgiving is over, the kids are back at school and a new week has started!!

So to start out my week I created a layout using some images from pinterest.

And this is the layout I came up with! Of course I loved the colors and they went perfectly with the Oakley Avenue collection and I love hexagons. So I decided to cut a few out of my background and back them with patterned papers and sew a acrylic sheet over them.

My picture was horrible, taken in terrible light, but I loved my sons face and what he was doing so I just had to scrap it! lol I sewed some a few strips of patterned paper across the bottom, this also anchored the acetate. Then I started adding some embellishments, a tab with a fall stickers, a few other stickers and a little ball of thread.

I placed the title in the upper left corner. I stated with some alpha stickers and then had cut out the rest, this way it also pulled some of the patterned paper from the bottom up to the top. I added a bit more thread and a sticker pointing back to the layout and picture.

To finish off my layout I added some layering behind my photo and placed it to the right of my layout, since it looked like my son was looking in towards the center of my layout. I thought it would be fun to have a little something on the photo itself too, so I added a few stickers.
