Cutest Costume || Pretty Little Studio

Good morning everyone!  I'm here to share my newest layout with you that I created for Pretty Little Studio.  Is it crazy that I'm in the Halloween spirit already?  I know it's still September, but for some reason, I'm really into Halloween this year.  Lol.

So for this layout, I scrapped a photo of Piper's first Halloween and I used the Goosebumps collection to document it.

I started by painting some thick black stripes on cardstock and then layering on the photo and some embellishments.  It was definitely a fun layout to create and I really like the way it came together.

Thanks for popping in!!

Free Cut Files || Paper Issues

Hi everyone!!  Popping in today to share with you a recent layout that I made using some of the awesome FREE cut files from Paper Issues.  I decided I wanted to scrap these photos of Piper getting her craft on, so I broke out the Simple Stories collection, Crafty Girl, and combined it with two of the free cut files: the Create A Life You Love cut file and the Paint Outline Alpha.

I used a woodgrain paper to cut out the files and then backed them with papers from Crafty Girl.  I played around with backing my title, too, but I actually really liked the way it looked as is.

Here is the final project:

There are still a few pieces of Crafty Girl left in the store, so make sure you snatch it up...and use code KAT20 to save 20% on your store order!

Border Lines Challenge || Paper Issues

Hi everyone!  Just stopping in today to share a new layout that I made for the Border Lines challenge over at Paper Issues.  The challenge asks you to use a border on your page.  Your border can be made of anything...I kept it simple and made 2 different borders out of paper.  

I arranged an assortment of photos from Piper's first birthday party in the shape of a number one, and then I hand-cut a border to make the one stand out a bit better.  My second border was created from a bunch of different paper scraps, washi and stickers from the Simple Stories collection, Hellos Summer.

Easy peasy!  Thanks so much for stopping by today and don't forget that you can use my code to save 20% off your store purchase!

11 Months || Pretty Little Studio

Hi everyone!  Just poppin' in here here today to share a new layout that I made with the Savannah Dreams collection from Pretty Little Studio.  Piper just turned a year old so I am smidge behind on her monthly spreads, but I'm trying super hard to catch up as quickly as I can!

I love that this collection is so versatile.  I also used this collection for her 10-month spread, but the 2 layouts look completely different - I really love that!

Here's the full spread:

And here's a look at each side a bit closer up:

Have a wonderful day!!

First Day || Bella Blvd

Good morning everyone!  Just popping in today to share a recent layout that I made for Pop Quiz week over at Bella Blvd.  I can't believe it's already back-to-school time and I really can't believe that my sweet niece is now in Kindergarten!

The photo I decided to scrap was of my niece's first day.  The photo was so colorful and I really loved the rainbow vibe it was giving off, so I decided to combine the Pop Quiz collection with the new Plaids & Dotty collection to pull in some of those other colors.

I cut a bunch of strips, layered them, sprinkled in some random Word Salad stickers and puffy stars and that was pretty much it.  The layout came together quickly and easily:

Thank for stopping in - have a wonderful day and weekend!
