PLS | Happy Together

This is my last post for Pretty Little Studio.  I decided to step down from the team after getting a job at my daughter's school.  So with a heavy heart, I bring you my last layout using the amazing PLS products.  I used a mix of Dream Big and Tales & Dreams to make this page.  You can read all about it HERE.

Gossamer Blue | Happy Little Memories

This is the last of my August Gossamer Blue layouts, but I will have some traveler's notebook spreads coming up soon!

This page was created with the Main Kit only, and I added a bit of white acrylic paint to the background cardstock.

YOU are one of a kind!

Gossamer Blue | So Silly

I've got another August kits layout from Gossamer Blue today!  This time I used some texture past mixed with the lovely Distress Ink from the Planner Kit to add some texture and color to my background.

I used a life pages cards and tons of die cuts to create this page.  I hope you like it!

Stay silly!

PLS | Sum-Mer-Maid

I've got this page up on the Pretty Little Studio blog today.  Head on over to see the details!

Summer Toes

I used the Felicity Jane June kit to create this mixed media page.

I started with clear gesso and used my favorite Shimmerz sprays to add a light wash of color on the background paper.

This was the last layout I made with the June kit, so I had scraps to work with.  I used lots of little bits of papers behind the photo, along with some of the life pages cards.

So many cute little die cut bits in these kits!  I like to scatter things around for a whimsical feel.  I used grey ink to stamp some of the icons as well.

I mixed a die cut with the alpha stickers for the title, and added another die cut right on the photo to tie in the yellow in the background.

Sparkle, baby.

PLS | Cake and Kisses

I used the Beautiful Day collection + some Shimmerz to make this mixed media layout, new for Pretty Little Studio today.

Eat cake!

Gossamer Blue | Dreamer

I'm on the GB blog with this simple-style layout today, I used items from all four kits to make this page.

So dreamy....

Gossamer Blue | PomPoms

Happy Wednesday!

The July kits from Gossamer Blue are a refreshing change, lots of bold colors and patterns, mixed with a few lights and brights.  Just perfect for making a 4th of July layout!

I began my page with a dry brushing of white acrylic paint, then created the fringe strips using two patterned papers from the Main Kit.

I used additional papers in blues and red to mat the photo, then created embellishment clusters above and below the picture.  I found tons of embellishments in the Planner Kit that worked great for this cheerful, summery layout.

I love big alpha's and I cannot lie ;)  I mixed in more embellishments in the title, including labels, epoxy dots and die cuts.

I think those polka dot clouds are ADORABLE.

To finish the page I splattered on some white spray ink.

Shake your pompoms!

PLS | I Can't Even

12x12 | You Are Capable

So I've kind of fallen in love.

With sanding and spray painting.

My mother's day was spent sanding and painting a few odds and ends.  I took this photo while waiting for paint to dry.

I started with dry brushing white acrylic paint, then added in some Shimmerz.  Next came all those One Canoe Two butterfly rub-ons.

I have been wanting to kill this collection as I just had some odds and ends left.  This layout just about got me there.

I also added in some cork from my stash.  The majority of these items came from an older Gossamer Blue kit.

Thanks to Tim Holtz for having the perfect words in his sticker book.

Enjoy it all.

12x12 | Little Miss Sparkle & Shine

This girl.

Full of life, love, and I'm pretty sure.... glitter.

I used Thickers and alpha's from my stash on this Felicity Jane layout, I love it when I pull from my stash and use stuff up!

Lots of fussy cut florals on this layout, it was the first project I made with the June kits.

I added some Shimmerz over clear gesso to start the page, adding in a bit of Heidi Shine gold as well.

Sparkle, baby.

12x12 | Girlfriends

Another page with the lovely June kits from Felicity Jane :)

I used Shimmerz spray inks over clear gesso, making sure to really dab up the excess for a super light, watercolor-y feel.

I love white space.  On layouts, in photos.... makes for the perfect spot to put your title.  Totally digging those alpha's included in the June kit.

I think I added fussy cut florals to every. single. page.

My paper get a bit warped from the mixed media so the right side curled a bit.  No worries, it will flatten out in the page protector.

Go document your bestie.
