Sunkissed Collection and August Texture Challenge

After using a template to add the black dots, I layered in the strips. I chose the Aqua, Orange, Pink combination to help keep it a little more subdued. I used a few pieces of matching flair along with bits and pieces of ephemera from various die-cut packs. I mostly wanted to add a bit more texture to the page, to try to meet the August Texture Challenge!! But don't those butterflies look fabulous next to the photo of my daughter and her crazy friends!!


I knew that the black and white photos were the way to go...because again...too much is jut too much.

I removed the vibrant colors of their clothing so that the photos didn't blend with the background...I wanted them to STAND OUT. They are worth seeing! And I added in more texture with the flair and twine and paper strips. I love how it all turned out!

Head on over to the Pretty Little Studio Shop to grab all the elements for your own collection of these gorgeous papers!

Hello and Happy Tuesday! Misty @Mommyofkidz here with you today sharing a quick layout that I did featuring the Sunkissed collection! I have tons of this collection, but for some reason, I have not used very much of it. I pulled it out last week and I wondered WHY NOT!??? This collection is gorgeous!! Well, I know why not...it is because I have a habit of using only what is in front of me...and this collection was put away. It sat nicely in its little cubby, untouched, uncut. Well...after this layout, it is definitely cut into!! HA HA!! I had the entire 12x12 Single Sided Collection...and each page is prettier than the last! 
For this layout, I wanted a fun vibrant background, but not too much. SO, I started with a solid white cardstock and used a template to add the black dots. I had fussy cut all the strips out of the Paint Color 12x12 page, but ended up only using three of them. That left some for another layout...maybe even for a 2 pager!
