Adventure in the Woods | 49 and Market | Timber & Tweed Collection

 

Hello friends! Today, I'm pleased to share a layout featuring a photo of our wonderful dog, Handsome. He has a passion for exploring the backyard, and he particularly enjoys standing quietly, scanning the woods for any little critters to chase, even though he never quite manages to catch them! The Timber & Tweed collection from 49 and Market has a warm and cozy aesthetic and was a fantastic choice for capturing this charming moment.

To start the layout, I chose the 'Timber & Tweed' Mountain Trail paper as my background. It has a beautiful winter scene that provides the perfect background for my photo. Then, I incorporated a few pieces from the laser-cut Floral Set, positioning my photo on the right side of the lovely log cabin. I tucked one of the frames from the Ephemera & Frame set beneath the photo to add a layered effect.

For the title, I selected the chipboard sentiment "Adventure in the Woods" and placed it inside the frame to create a focal point. I also distributed additional chipboard sentiments around the page; one sits just below the title, while others are placed on the log cabin die-cut for added interest.

To further enhance the layout, I created a cluster of embellishments from the Laser Cut Floral set, including pinecones, acorns, lanterns, and leaves. This arrangement beautifully echoes the essence of the great outdoors.

Additionally, I couldn't resist incorporating some eye-catching rub-on from the Timber & Tweed Rub-On Transfer Set, including a flower cluster, a rusted lantern on a pole, and a fabric strip with a faded look. These elements added texture and visual appeal to the page. As a final touch, I used splatters of Cold Brew and Sangria Ranger dye ink paint to bring everything together and complete the layout.

I'm really pleased with how this turned out, and I hope it sparks some ideas for you to explore the beautiful Timber & Tweed collection!

Celebrate the Little Things | 49 and Market - Plume & Petal Collection

Hello friends! 

 I used the Plume & Petal collection to document my husband's birthday, showcasing how specific products can create meaningful layouts. I printed my photos in black and white so they wouldn't clash with the collection's beautiful colors!

Next, I selected two pieces from Vicki Boutin's Irresistible die-cut Borders for this page. I applied Ranger Dye Ink in Sunrise with a flat brush, then dabbed off some. Next, I used a palette knife to spread white gesso, wiping off excess, and finished with Twilight dye ink for added detail.

I started with the Happy paper from the 12x12 collection as my base and applied white gesso to the right side to create a faded effect. Then, I layered pieces from both the 12x12 collection and the solid papers, added die-cut borders from the Irresistible collection, and framed my photos with elements from the Ephemera & Frames pack before placing them on my page.

I found a fantastic title in Chipboard Sentiments that really tied the project together, adding a cohesive element to the design. I also added a few more die-cut phrases to brighten up the page and make it even more fun, demonstrating how thoughtful embellishments can elevate your scrapbook layout.

The Laser Cut Element Set features pieces with a charming antique feel, including floral clusters, musical motifs, and more. I incorporated several dragonflies and finished the page with a Vicki Boutin Artful Edges Rub-On. I am pleased with the final look and the unique touch it adds to my layout.

I'm really pleased with how this turned out, and I hope it sparks some ideas for you to explore the beautiful Plume & Petal collection!

Home For the Holidays | Candy Cane Collection | Sketch Challenge | Pretty Little Studio

 

Hey there, friends!

I'm really excited to share my layout for the sketch challenge using the cheerful new Candy Cane collection! This vibrant collection is bursting with colors that are sure to bring a smile to your face as you capture those special holiday moments. I can't wait to see how you use it in your own creations!

The Sketch

To add a unique twist to the tree design from the sketch, I used a cut file by Allison Davis called Ornament Tree. After cutting it from white cardstock, I backed it with the Holly Jolly paper. To bring some depth to the design, I applied 49 and Market's Just Peachy dry ink with a blending brush. Additionally, I crumpled some paper, dipped it in the Off the Rails ink pad, and layered it on top of the Just Peachy color. This technique not only enhances the background but also allows you to experiment with new ideas, boosting your creativity for holiday projects.

For my photos, I positioned them on the left side and added a date tag at the top of one for a personal touch. I used the "Home for the Holiday" die-cut from the Festive Treat Words pack as my title, placing it below the photos alongside an adorable elf for added charm.

With so many stunning embellishments in this collection, it can be challenging to decide what to use. To streamline my choices, I focused on a few standout pieces: I incorporated elements from the Oh What Fun! Banners, a Holly berry die-cut from the Merry Mix, and several star die-cuts from the Festive Treat Words pack. I'm thrilled with how it all came together! 

Thank you for joining me on the blog today! I encourage you to explore your creative projects with this collection and experiment with different techniques; there's great potential for beautiful results! Your support and enthusiasm mean the world to me. Let's continue to uplift and encourage one another!

Love Lego Camp | Pretty Little Studio -You Are My Sunshine Collection

 

Hello, PLS friends! As I eagerly await the arrival of the stunning Love Is Kind Collection at my doorstep, I'm excited to share another layout featuring the beautiful You Are My Sunshine collection.

I started with some white cardstock as my base. Then, I grabbed the Color My World and Summer Garden patterned papers, plus a sheet from the 6x6 accent paper pack, to whip up some 6x6 triangles.

I arranged the triangles across the page, cut one in half, and positioned one at each end. Before adhering them to the white cardstock, I added some hand-stitching. 

I combined the love die-cut from the 100% Sunshine Word pack with black alphabet stickers for my title and placed it below the photos. 

I die-cut a few stars in different sizes and a few fussy-cut ones using the 6x6 Sunshine accent paper pack and arranged them around the page to create a beautiful flow. 

I printed my journal on Avery's clear label and placed it on one of the triangles. 

I enhanced the layout by thoughtfully incorporating a few butterfly die-cuts from the Butterfly Wings around the page. This addition really elevates the overall design!

Thank you so much for joining me on the blog today. I hope my project using this collection inspires you to create something beautiful, too!

Snack Time | You Are My Sunshine | Pretty Little Studio

 

Hello, PLS fans!

Yvette here today, and I'm so excited to share another layout with the gorgeous "You Are My Sunshine" collection. I love looking back at photos of my son when he was younger and finding treasured moments like those snack-time pictures. With its fun and cheerful colors, this collection is perfect for bringing those sweet memories to life!

I began my layout by using a 1 ¾-inch circle punch to create beautiful circles from the 6x6 You Are My Sunshine accent paper pack. To add some visual interest, I hand-stitched a few of the circles.

On one half of the page, I arranged three circles in the first row and two in the second, alternating their positions until I filled the space. I also fussy-cut some hearts from one of the 6x6 accent papers and placed them on top of a few circles to provide added detail. 

Next, I cut off the strip from the bottom of the Catch Some Rays Pattern Paper and positioned it down the center of the page, grounding the design. 

To pull the page together, I added my photos, journaling, and a few watercolor floral and stem die cuts from the Fresh Bloom Stems.

I used my Silhouette to create a title for this page and cut it from black cardstock.

To enhance my page, I used a hole punch to create smaller circles that I could place in and around the larger ones, and I am pleased with the overall outcome.

Thank you so much for joining me on the blog today. I hope my project using this collection inspires you to create something beautiful, too!

Yvette xoxo
