EVERY SUMMER HAS A STORY/PRETTY LITTLE STUDIO

Good morning, friends! Nicole here with two travel notebook spreads I created using the You are My Sunshine collection. This collection makes me happy and the bright, beautiful colors catch my eyes every time I see it in my stash.

I had fun playing with all the die cuts-layering them up...or you may think "piling it on." I just can't help myself. I love playing with all the pretty embellishments. If you look closely, you'll see all the beautiful touches between the two layouts.

I fussy cut the daisies from patterned paper and glued it along the edge of the photo. Isn't it pretty? I added an enamel dot to the top flower to add dimension.

The word phrases are my favorite...they are great for filling in white space. I used foam strips to pop the phrase up to add dimension.

LOVING the little snail. Isn't he adorable? 

I added the heart die cut at the top of the photo and layered it with a few butterflies, a word banner, and a few oranges enamel dots.

I stapled the butterfly to the "o" of story and added the little bee using foam strips. Next, I made the tag using scraps of patterned paper and a metal die and tucked it slightly beneath the title. I think the orange string as a nice pop of color.

What do you think? Are these layouts delightful? I finally filled this album up for my mom and she will be receiving it very soon! She loves it when I surprise her with little albums. Thank you so much for visiting today!
