Scrap Squad | L

I'm sharing another Scrap Squad lift from last weekend.  This is a take on a Sarah Jayne layout.  You might know SJ as Mrs Lottie Loves Paper... and on that note Lottie Loves paper are having a Cyber Crop this weekend. Pretty much everything on this layout is Pretty Little Studio/Zinia Redo.  The majority is from her first collection with a few heart stickers added from her second collection. You can't beat a bit of rainbow stitching!  Plus I have to justify having SO many threads - I need them to match all of the papers! Same goes for enamel dots!  I'm low on blue enamel dots so I'm seeking a mixed pack of blues... give a shout if you know of a pack as so far I've not found any. Thanks for stopping by!

Throwback | love right now

Rather ironic to be blogging a post created in 2018 entitled Love Right Now in 2020.  Not quite right now! This was made back then using Pretty Little Studio supplies.

Touched By Sunshine

Here is the next installment in my Pretty Little Studio guest designer stint.  I was sent Zinia'sSunny Memories to work with and have been having so much fun! This layout was a right pickle to make.  What was in my head did not turn out well so, as you'll see in the video, parts were pulled off and set to the side... I am happy with the final layout though.  The flowers in the kit are great shapes and colours. It is very subtle but I added some texture paste through a stencil from Skull And Cross Buns in the background.  It shows better in real life than it does in the photos. The parts that were ripped off the layout found a new home on a card... I added some paper inside the envelope and a little flourish inside the card too. Thanks for stopping by... Here's the process video: Supplies used: Die-Cuts | Sunny Mix Die-Cuts | Fresh Phrases Stickers | Floral Bits Outlines | Clear Stickers | Floral Bits Pack...

Guest Designing for Pretty Little Studio

Hi guys! I'm back with another layout using Zinia 's Sunny Memories for Pretty Little Studio. The starting point for this layout was the gorgeous deep magenta colour that features in the collection.   I pulled out a 3x4 card, a 4x6 clear card, a banner piece and some labels.   I used my craft knife to carefully cut around part of the design on the 3x4 card so my photo could slide underneath.   I decided early in that staples would feature heavily in my design.   I often hide my staples underneath layers but this time I wanted them showing.   As I got further in I realised my stapler didn’t have the required reach so I added the staples first and then used tape or glue to attach the pieces where I wanted them. My favourite thing to do with acetate is layer things both beneath and on top of it, and to use dimensional adhesive to add some height.   I hid the majority of the dimensional adhesive behind the photo and flower but d...

Guest Designing for Pretty Little Studio

I am so excited to share my first guest designer project for Pretty Little Studio using the fabulous Sunny Memories collection by Zinia . I don’t know about you but I can go a little stash blind when I have a bunch of new supplies.   I tend to adore 99% of what is in front of me and want to use it all at once whilst at the same time wanting to hoard it all so it lasts forever!   As my style is quite clean and simple I need to be selective.   In this case, I was drawn to all the smiley faces, in particular, the acetate.   One of my favourite things about Pretty Little Studios is the range of vellums and acetates.   Sunny Memories includes a pack of 4x6 acetate overlays and if I had to pick, arm twisted and stash at risk, I would choose this as my most wanted item from the collection. With the 4x6 card chosen as my main piece, I gathered a few bits from the collection in matching colours.   Sequins are my thing so I grab a couple of spo...
