YOU LOVE ME/PRETTY LITTLE STUDIO

Good morning, friends! Nicole here with a scrapbook layout I created using the beautiful You Are My Sunshine collection.  This collection just makes me so happy with all the bright, pretty colors!

I really love the hexagon patterned paper from the Sunshine Mixed 6x9 paper pack. Initially, I was going to cut down the picture in a hexagon shape, but I decided I really wanted to keep the full shot. So... some of the hexagons got covered up, but I still love it. It's such a fun design!

I used metal tag dies from my stash to create the tags from patterned paper. I added some white string and made it flow across the top of the page, adding the little butterfly for fun.

I stapled the butterflies directly on the page so that I could pull up the wings to add dimension to the layout. And I absolutely love the sentiments on the labels. SOOOO CUTE.

I love how simple this spread is, but yet, it's full of details. What do you think? The photo is precious, right? Those little cuties are my niece and nephew. This collection is available at A Cherry On Top. Click here to check out this beautiful collection. I hope you enjoyed your visit today! Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a fantastic weekend.

LOVE YOU SO FLIPBOOK/SIMPLE STORIES

Good morning, friends! Nicole here with a cute flip book album I created using the Say Cheese Classic Mouse collection. I adore this album so much and I hope you do, too. I went back and forth on how I wanted to use this adorable collection, and in the end, I decided to create a mini album using photos of me with my fur-baby!

The foam stickers are too cute, and I really wanted to use the big “SMILE” title along with the “this floats my boat” stickers. I decided to use it behind the first page to act as another sub-title for the album. I love how simple this page is, but it looks so cute! And those cute little brads…I can’t get enough of them!

The journaling cards are super fun, and I used quite a few of them throughout the album. They are great for creating a cute statement page. I added a few decorative brads and a sticker to embellish the page.

For this spread, I layered a variety of die cuts to the left-side of the photo along with a few stickers and decorative brads. As you can see, these albums come together quickly!

The journaling cards cut-apart sheet is adorable. I just love using them to fill in white space. I add a few stickers and journaling to make it fun.

I folded two 4x6 journaling cards together to create a flip page. Rather than tuck this flip page in a plastic sleeve, I mounted it directly to the sleeve itself to create a pocket for hidden journaling cards.

I stapled a little journaling spot on the card to create a flip element and decorated it with die cuts, foam stickers, and a decorative brad. I still need to add a little journaling, but I plan on adding a few more pages to this darling album before calling it done.

I used a metal die to create a folded tag element to the right-side of the photo. I especially love the chipboard piece and decided to use it as a center piece for the tag. 

My goal for this album was to create lots of interactive pages and tag elements to go with the cuteness of this album. I created a little pocket for the tag. To create this flip page, I cut two 3x4 journaling tags together and folded it to create the flip page. I mounted one side to the page, leaving the other side unmounted so it flips open.

This layout was fun… I used a variety of rub-ons for the background and then created a variety of layers using die cuts and foam stickers. What do you think? It’s cute, right!? Are you ready to make one of these using pictures of your fur-baby? I hope you found this inspiring. Check out the full collection, here. Thank you so much for visiting today!

BEAUTIFUL TOGETHER

Good morning, friends. Happy Friday! I'm excited to share a few pages from my new flip book that I just started making, using Shimelle's Reasons to Smile collection. I just love the rainbow colors in this collection. It makes me so happy. It's super cute, and I had fun playing with it.

I absolutely love the foam stickers in this collection and the font of the "beautiful" sentiment. I decided to use that for the title. Notice how I added a few buttons, foam stickers, and gems to the camera lens. I love playing with my embellishments to find fun, and creative ways of using them.

I decorated the back of the front page using a few more fun stickers. Isn't it beautiful? LOVE clustering embellishments together.

For this spread, I wanted to play with a variety of papers to create a beautiful background for the photo. I matted the vellum stickers onto white cardstock and cut them out so I could create die cuts from them and adhered them to the top of the layout using foam squares. I added a few gems and buttons to the center of the flowers to make them pop.

Here is a closer look at the cluster of flowers. I used a black pen to write "together" on the banner.

 I placed a vellum floral sticker slightly behind the bottom of the photo. Next, I journaled on the die cut and tucked it below the photo. After that, I stapled the "enjoy" die cut directly onto the picture.

Here is another fun page I created of my son with my mom. They have a date day each month-just the two of them and they both enjoy their time together.

LOVE the pie chart paper. It's super fun! I especially love the balloons. Super cute.

My last spread for today is a pocket page! I love playing with pocket pages...they are super simple, but with the right tags/embellishments, they look so good.

It's the little touches that brings this spread to life. Wouldn't you agree? I just love it.

I'll be working on a few more pages in this flip book this month. I'll be sharing them later this month on the blog. Check out the full collection, here. Thank you so much for visiting today!
