Hello, Sunshine | You Are My Sunshine | Pretty Little Studio

 

Hi everyone! Today, I am excited to share a fun layout featuring the fabulous "You Are My Sunshine" collection. This collection is packed with lots of happy colors and beautiful icons, perfect for documenting these adorable photos of my son plant shopping with Dad. 

When I saw the Nectar patterned paper with its colorful design, I realized it would be ideal for creating a fun grid-style background and perfect for hand-stitching. I cut the paper into sections, ensuring each section had four designs, and added stitching inside each one.

Next, I added my photos and started placing my embellishment.

I chose one of the titles from the Just Peachy word title die-cuts, placed it below the photos, and added my journaling underneath it.

For the finishing touches, I chose a few die-cut pieces from the Butterfly Wings and Fresh Bloom Stems packs to thoughtfully enhance certain areas around my photos.  

These little accents really bring everything together nicely.

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

Summer Smiles | You Are My Sunshine | Sketch Challenge | Pretty Little Studio

 

Hi everyone! It's Yvette on the blog today, sharing a sketch challenge layout made with the lovely "You Are My Sunshine" collection. This collection captures the essence of joy with its vibrant colors that remind us of sunny days and the simple pleasure of enjoying ice cream. I hope this inspires you and brings a smile to your day!

Here's this month's sketch.

I rotated the sketch so that the vertical strip was horizontal. I then chose the Pick-Up Sticks paper, creating the illusion that the paper was cut into thin strips rather than one solid piece, and I loved the result.

The sketch has the photo mainly in the center of the page, but I decided to nudge it to the right. This little tweak adds a nice touch and makes it feel more inviting!

By moving the photo to the right, I needed to remove the thin strips on the sketch. I then added two of the Die-Cuts from the 100% Sunshine Word on the left side of the layout and placed the title (Summer Smiles) above my photo.

I had a great time getting creative on this page! I swapped out the star elements for some lovely floral die-cuts from Fresh Bloom Stems and added some cute butterfly die-cuts from Butterfly Wings. To top it off, I used one of the Frisbee Frame/Journaling Tags as a fun way to jot down my thoughts. It really added a personal touch!

'm thrilled with how this turned out! We would love for you to join in on the fun! Please share your creations using this sketch in our Facebook Fan Group. I can't wait to see what you come up with! I truly appreciate you taking the time to stop by. Until we meet again, take care, and happy scrapping!
