It's a product spotlight sort of day over on the Paper Issues blog and I got to play along!  Today we are putting the spotlight on Pinkfresh Studio's Live More collection. Here's my layout using this awesome collection:

Just a few splatters of mist and a little thread for my sewing -- the rest is all Pinkfresh. I used a little bit of everything on this layout -- die cuts from the ephemera pack, puffy stickers, word stickers, the arrow paperclips (took the clip off) and two sets of alphas!  I absolutely love how this one turned out!

Here's a close up of my 'subtitle'. 😀

And another close up of the splatters behind my title -- I love those acetate letters!

Here's another layout that I did during Paper Issues online crop this weekend!  This was for the stitching challenge. I used both hand and machine stitching (two of my faves)!

For this layout I used items from Shimelle's most recent collection Little by Little.  I fussy cut those circles out -- and stitched them down with my machine. But before that I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut stitching holes for my title!  So fun!   Here are a few close ups!

This crop was so much fun! It's been great seeing all of the different takes on each challenge!

It's Swag Bag Sunday at Paper Issues, and I played along!  Here is the layout I made with a February 2017 Swag Bag!

First I added a cut file in my Silhouette Studio Software, and used this tutorial to create stitching holes, then stitched it with black embroidery thread.

Gotta have a bit of flair from A Flair for Buttons. :-)

This cup die cut was the inspiration for this layout, actually. When I saw it, I remembered that I had a photo of a coffee cup with a heart on it! :-) 

As always, lots of layers when I make a layout with a Swag Bag!
