Sunny Days - Simple Stories - Sunkissed




Hi everybody!
I am so happy to share with you a new project featuring the very joyful collection SUNKISSED. The days are getting warmer and a recent spell of sunshine here in the UK allowed me to take some sunny photographs of Sophia, perfect to use with this collection.

            

             
This collection is full of bright and happy papers! I fell in love with the Suuny Days sheet and knew I wanted to feature it on this layout so I tore it twice and used both strips on the left side of my layout. Curling up the edge around a paint brush helped giving my layout texture and volume. Those were then mounted on the left hand side of the B side of the 3x4 elements sheet.
         

           

I then decided to continue on the summer theme by creating pinwheels. I used the Shine Bright, Play all day and Chill out papers for that as it was a great way to feature simultaneously the patterns on both side. I finished the pinwheels off with the gorgeous decorative brads.
        

         

I mounted my photo on the B side of the 2x2/4x4 elements sheet as I do like the framed look at the moment. The Tags sheet offers plenty of cut-out options so I decided to use some of those tags behind my photograph.
         

         

All my layout needed after that was a few sticker flowers from the Cardstock sticker sheet, some wordings from the Journal bits pack and a few more small decorative brads. The final touch was the addition of my title made super easy thanks to the Foam Stickers. These have become some of my must haves!

        

       
I had so much fun creating this layout! I hope you check the new SUNKISSED collection from Simple Stories at your local scrapbook supplies store. It will get you all ready for summer!

Right Now - Hey Little Magpie - PinkFresh Studio Keeping it Real


For this layout I wanted to focus on two of the patterned papers: A little chaos and Deep Breath.

 

The “bubble” look of the first patterned paper just had my heart and I wanted to use the idea on this layout.

 

I cascaded several circles that I die-cut out of different pattern papers to create a floating effect. I then layered Floral Ephemeras and the basic Ephemeras around my “bubbles”.

The very graphic bottom helped the circles to stand out.

 

Once again I used the Puffy phrase stickers for my title. This is a product I love to use.

 

Hopefully this project gave you a lot of inspiration on how to use this stunning collection!

Lots of love xx

Whoa! - Hey Little Magpie - PinkFresh Studio Keeping it Real

 

 

Keeping it Real by PinkFresh studio is full of embellishments! I wanted to give them centre stage with this layout by not using any papers at all!

 

As always, I started by digging into the pack of Floral Ephemeras.

 

 

Puffy stickers and the second pack of Ephemeras also took a major place on this layout.

 

Layering the different elements cerate depth and enough texture that this photo turns into a scrapbooking layout.

 

I loved how the Cardstock Stickers to added some more straight lines my clustering of embellishment merge with the background of the photograph.
