Product Spotlight: Pinkfresh Studio

Hello ladies! Today I have a new layout up on the Paper Issues blog for the Pinkfresh Studio Product Spotlight!

My absolute favorite thing about Pinkfresh Studio is how think and luxurious their paper and cardstock stickers are! Paper heaven! I stole this pretty Christmas photo off my sister's Facebook page of her and her girls all dressed up for Christmas. I used the 6x6 Paper Pad, the acetate die cuts, the gold foil phrase stickers,and the puffy stickers on this layout!

I went crazy with all of the layers and bits and pieces with this line!

 

I loved working with the acetate die cuts against the Bazzill shimmers cardstock!

 

Word phrase stickers are currently my favorite embellishment - a layout isn't complete without them!

Remember...

Today we are putting the spotlight on Maggie Holmes' latest collection for Crate Paper, Shine!

I had this adorable photo of my sister with her girls all pretty and pink and this line was perfect!

I kept this layout fairly simple by adding chipboard shapes and die cuts from them ephemera pack clustered around the photo! I love how it turned out!

OMG! My nieces are so cute -- I just want to squish them! I love these girls so much!

I also used the April Swag Bag here + the "on the menu," wood embellishment and some enamel heart stickers from my stash!

Happy Mother's day! Coincidentally it's also Scraplift Sunday over at the Paper Issues {Friends & Fans} Facebook group! If you're not a member, add yourself right now for instant inspiration, fun events and scrappy chat all week long! 

This week we picked Devra Hunt's Swag Bag layout from this Paper Issues blog post as inspiration! 

 I lifted Devra's layout  for the left side of my page and added on a second page for this 2-page spread of my niece! Yes! I am still working on her baby book but I'm nearly done! 

I used Heidi Swapp's latest collection, Wanderlust, for this layout. The jewel tones paired perfectly with these photos by Ford Family Photography.  

I broke out a collection of my favorite Thickers for a looooooong title! I love to mix and max my Thickers - it makes me happy!

Even a few Swag Bag bits made it onto this layout, like this chipboard "favorite" frame from the February Swag Bag! 

I love these little paper clip flags from the collection as well as the die cut flowers included with the Wanderlust Flea Market Pouch! 

With some final touches from my stash, including the pink doilie and the kraft paper bows, I called this one finished! Nine photos in all! BOOM!

This Moment. Right Now...

Elle's Cienna is by far my favorite line from Elle's to date! I love the soft colors and how perfectly well this line, although Valentine's day theme inspired, really works with so many themes!

For this double page layout I started with a blank white background as my canvas and I really wanted to keep the focus on these gorgeous photos by Ford Family Photography of my sister's gorgeous family!

I added pops of the Cienna patterned papers to border my photos using a 2 1/2" circle punch.

Then I picked through the embellishments from the line, my beloved collection of paper bows and some of my Color Cast Designs wood veneers to embellish here and there as I saw fit!

I love how this page came out!

Thank you for stopping by and taking a look today!

Sketchy Saturday...

Hello my Paper People! There is a brand new sketch up on the Paper Issues blog today based off an awesome layout for Nicole Nowosad.

You can find more inspiration from Nicole on her Blog and her Instagram account!

 I used the new Fancy Pants Office Suite line for this adorable photo of my niece with her tushie flapping in the breeze!

 

 This line had great embellishments including die cut labels, ephemera, buttons and flair!

I'm also crushing on the new texture of the patterned paper that Fancy Pants used for this line. It reminds me of the Bazzill Orange Peel texture. 

 And I mean...that little tushie!!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look. Don't forget that you can find all the Paper Issues sketches here!

Shinning the Spotling on Maggie Holmes...

I am collaborating with few other ladies from the Paper Issues Design Team to put the spotlight on Maggie Holmes on the Paper Issues Blog today! Maggie's collections are some of my favorite and I pulled out my much coveted Open Book papers and embellishments for these gorgeous photos, taken by Ford Family Photography, of my niece in a ruffled skirt! These photos make my heart melt. I love this sweet girl! 

 

Maggie's ephemera packs are THE BEST! They are packed full of the most awesome bits and pieces that are perfect for layering and embellishing. Every piece has adorable detail, including golf foil!  

 The tags from this line were probably my favorite embellishment. I love that they are pre-sewn and embellished! Makes a page go so quickly!

 

These photos make me so happy! I wish that all of my photos were this inspiring to scrapbook. Her little face just makes me wish she was still this tiny!

 

There is still some of the Open Book line in the Paper Issues shop! Be sure to grab some of the papers and embellishments before they are gone! Use the code "Becky," for 20% off your entire order + free shipping on orders of $60 or More (after discounts applied).

Swagger Jagger, Swagger Jagger...You should get some of your own...

Hello friends! I am up on the Paper Issue blog today sharing TWO layouts using the February Swag bag from Paper Issues! Make sure to stop by and check out all the details!

XOXOXOXO...

I am up on the Paper Issues blog today with a 2-page LO that I did for my niece's baby book. That's right, a 2-pager! 

For this layout I used Serendipity by Dear Lizzy for American Crafts. I absolutely la la la LOVE this line. It is one of my favorite lines of all times from Dear Lizzy (right after 5th & Frolic)! 

This line is absolutely perfect for these professional photos by Ford Family Photography of my niece taken in the Spring time.

The gold foam words from this line are perfection! 

And I don't know about you ladies, but I could not be more happy about the return of the puffy sticker to the world of scrapbooking! The Serendipity puffy stickers are no exception.

The pleather bows and the fabric XOXO and hearts are my absolute favorite embellishments from this line and I  always get so many miles out of the American Crafts ephemera packs! 

You can pick up some of Dear Lizzy's most recent bright & fun line for 20% off in the Paper Issues shop using the code, "Becky," + free shipping on orders over $60 (after all discount applied).
