Hello Summer

Hey everyone, I'm here today with a new LO to share using the Here Comes the Sun collection. This LO didn't turn out at all like I had it in my head but it's fun and bright!

I started off by adding some stitching to the cut file. It was means to be put on a white background but I didn't like it. So I went really bold and used a bright green cardstock!

This collection is really fun and perfect for summer photos. The embellishments are so cute!

Thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful Smile

Hey everyone, Michelle here today sharing a new summer LO using the Chasing Adventure collection. If you are all like me, you probably have so many more summer photos than any other photos. Because of that, I always love to buy lots of summer themed collections. The Chasing Adventure collection is so perfect with all the bright colors and florals!

I've said this before, but I absolutely love fussy cutting. Especially florals! I just had to cut out these gorgeous tropical flowers and leaves.

I cut out the whole 12x12 paper and placed all the flowers and leaves from corner to corner. I layered a lot of them to add extra dimension.

The black foam thickers were the perfect contrast to the bright colors of the papers. To finish I just added a frame, stitching and some splatters.

Oh Snap

Hey everyone, I'm here today with a new LO to share using the Midnight Hour file and the Vicki Boutin Kaleidoscope collection.  Flair button is from A Flair For Buttons.  Sometimes you just have to have fun with a LO.  I went completely over the top with this one and I love how it turned out!

Look how much those white stars pop out on the mixed media background.  Such an easy use of a cut file!

By adding a lot of layers, I created a really fun LO!  Sometimes you don't need to do anything fancy to your cut file.

You color my world

Hey everyone, I'm back today with a new LO to share for A Flair For Buttons using the Jillibean Soup Shades of Color collection, a cut file from JustNick Studio, and one absolutely perfect flair button!

With all the colors in this LO, I knew I needed a colorful flair button.  As soon as I looked through my stash of flair, this rainbow heart button jumped out at me.  It was absolutely perfect!

Have you looked at the store lately?  There are so many choices! Sooo many!  Check it out.  You will without a doubt find something you need!

Easter Egg Hunt Adventure

Hey everyone, I'm here today with a new LO to share using the Chasing Adventure collection and a cut file from The Cut Shoppe. Now that my kids are no longer little, I really miss some of the traditions we had when they were little. Easter was always such a fun filled day. The Easter Bunny went all out at this house, making sure the egg hunt lasted for a while.

I started off my layout by cutting out this cut file from The Cut Shoppe. Then I backed it with pattern papers. The colors and floral patterns in this collection were really perfect for an easter themed layout.

Then I added a little mixed media to my cardstock, just so the cut file would pop more. I then added some stitching around the cut file. When I hand stitch, I don't use a template. I punch out random holes in random distances from each other. I like this look better than when they are all even. (and it's easier!)

Once the background was finished, it really didn't need much more. I just added a few flower stickers and a title.

And to finish it off, I added a frame around my layout, as I almost always do!

You are so special

Hey everyone, I'm back today with a new LO to share for The Cut Shoppe using the Flower Arrangement cut file and the Live Your Dream collection from Altenew.

It's no secret that florals are my favorite thing to use on my LO's.  Instead of doing a big background on this LO, I decided to cut out a bunch of these pretty flowers and then I backed them up with bright papers.

They turned out so pretty against the white background!

Thanks for stopping by!

And then my heart burst

Hey everyone, I'm here today sharing a new LO with the Tales and Dreams collection and a cut file from Paper Issues. I had a lot of fun with this one!

One of my favorite things about Pretty Little Studio is that all the products in each collection go so well together. No need to look through all your stash to find the perfect color or embellishment. Tales and Dreams is for sure one of my favorite collections. I love the bright rainbow colors!

These little word stickers are my favorite thing ever!
