Clique Kits | Remember

Another Clique Kits layout featuring Maggie Holmes Gather collection. Some days I just want to machine-stitch.  So I do ;) This isn't a page with techniques or any kind of fancy stuff.  It's just a layout that captures a moment that means something to me. Of course there's a bit of splatter and random threads.... the pretty/messy aspect that I love so much. And this gold glitter...

Crate Paper | Hello Snow

I'm not someone who purchases "themed" products so much, I like things that I consider neutrals that can be used in a variety of ways.  But Crate Paper seems to always have some kind of winter line that sucks me right in. The only bad thing?  It sucked everyone else in as well.  I couldn't get many of the embellishments for the Snow & Cocoa line, so I had to make it work! The...

Clique Kits | Q & Papa

I seem to be a few months behind when it comes to using my kits from Clique Kits.  And that's ok.  I like using these as my "for fun" pages, the things I make when I don't have design team commitments. I debated adding a title to this page, and now that I'm blogging the layout I kind of wish I hadn't used one.  Hindsight, and all that. I won't change it.  Now I know for next...

Gossamer Blue | LOVE My Pilgrim

How is it, that I can work on a layout, photograph and edit the layout, and not realize until I'm posting the photos that the photo on the layout was completely wonky? Seriously tho. I was totally inspired by my good scrap friend Zsoka when I made this page.  Although Zsoka would never have a wonky pic like mine ;) I added the gold alpha's and tags from my stash, the rest is from the...

Gossamer Blue | Golden Days

Some people don't love backing cut files.  It can be mundane.  And a gluey mess ;) I truly don't mind it.  The outcome is worth all the glue stuck to my finger tips. The December Gossamer Blue kits are so, so pretty.  The perfect color combo to transition from Fall to Winter.  I used a few tags from my stash but the rest of the items came from the December kits. This...

Gossamer Blue | November Beauty

Special thanks to Rebekah for these amazing photos.  They are from last year and I'm still working my way through all of them, they are too special to not scrap every single photo. I die cut 3 large feathers using Fancy Pants papers in the kit, then hand-stitched around them. Another page where I put more of my effort in the background, then kept the rest of the page rather minimal to...

PLS | Merry Moments

Hi there, I have a new, fun and COLORFUL page on the Pretty Little Studio blog featuring the Holly Jolly line! Merry Everything! xo...

Clique Kits | Sketch Challenge

Hey friends!  I'm guesting for Clique Kits this month, and I would love it if you would play along with their sketch challenge! Here's the sketch for December: And my take on the sketch: I used the adorable heart paper from Bella Blvd as my background, then trimmed down a CK exclusive card from 4x6 to 4x4, added another 4x4 card and then trimmed out a 4x4 piece of the Illustrated...

Gossamer Blue | Brilliant

Don't we all think our kiddo is the most brilliant ever? Well, mine is.  ;) Brilliant and a talented artist! I had some lighting issues the day I took this, everything is much warmer than I typically go for. I used Life Pages cards as my main embellishments, trimming the top and bottom cards to fit the page.  A few wonky layers behind the photo adds just the right touch for my little...

Gossamer Blue | My Home

Hello! The December kits from Gossamer Blue really offer a huge variety this month.  While there is primarily Fancy Pants and Pink Paislee products, we received a few sheets from the Dear Lizzy Saturday line as well.  I think the ampersand paper was the perfect setting for this Fall photo from last year. The photo is layered on tissue paper and then I focused on tons of embellishments....
