love you

Hello friends! I am up on the PLS blog today with another layout for you using the Frosty and Friends collection.  Here is a look at my project:

I'm going to be super honest will you and let you know that this all started with this tag from the Fuzzy Sock Die Cut pack and three hearts!  I saw them together and a layout was born!

I paired the tag with some of the 3/4 cards from the Hug In a Mug pack and and another tag and I ended up with a grid layout. This tag is one of my favorites! I stitched around the heart with embroidery floss.

This story is one of my favorites! I took a quote that her dad relayed to me for the journaling. I added typed journal strips to a tag for the win!

I absolutely love working with this collection. I think it is quite versatile and, as you can see, this layout isn't related to winter at all! But I also love all the little winter bits included! One of my favorite Pretty Little Studio Collections to date!

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon! XO o.g.

Hi, friends! I am up on the {a flair for buttons} blog with a layout using flair from the Bee Mine flair set! Here is a look at my project:

To tell this story I decided to pull the yellow out of her shirt - and create a monochromatic look. I started with a couple of  Distress Oxides (Wild Honey and Mustard Seed) to create a space to house my photo and embellishments. I love using Distress Oxides and water to create backgrounds. Here is a close up of the flair. 

I grabbed a bunch of yellow flowers from Cocoa Vanilla Studio's Sunkissed collection to cluster around the page. Some came from the embellishment pack and some I fussy cut from patterned papers. Finally I used a stamp designed by Vicki Boutin to create more texture and pops of black around the page.

For the title I used Elle's Studio Jordan Alpha stamps (both the Outline and the Dots & Stripes). I filled some of the letters in with patterned papers as well. 

I love how this one turned out. I also made a video of the process, if that's something that suits your fancy!

Thanks for stopping by and checking it out! XO o.g.

Hi Friends! I am up on the Pretty Little Studio blog today with a layout using the new Frosty collection!  Here is a look at my project:

When I opened the Sugar Cookies die cut pack I saw so many circles!!  Then I opened the Fuzzy Socks die cut pack and saw some more! When I saw the one in the latter pack that says "Big Hugs" I realized what I had to do -- make even more circles!

I grabbed a lot of the die cut circles, and then grabbed my circle punches and some of the 6x8 pattered papers in the collection.

As always, I punched a few butterflies from the papers to add around the page.

I knew I wanted a bit of journaling so I printed that out on my printer and cut it into journal strips to tell the story of my daughter and my mom hugging for the first time in over a year.

 Such a happy story to tell, and what a beautiful collection with which to document it!  Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon! XO o.g.
