Hi Pretty Little Studio friends, it's Kim and I'm back today with a layout using a mix of the Love Is Kind and You Are My Sunshine collections. Following my repeated shapes challenge in the PLS Facebook group, I used squares on this page of my granddaughters.

I started with white cardstock and pulled some dies from my stash. I used the Love Is Kind 6x9 Paper Pack , the Busy Bee 12x12 Paper and the Watch the Clouds 12x12 Paper for my squares. I cut various shapes from the different patterns and then, backed my photo with scraps from one of the papers. I also layered a few frames from the Frisbee Frames Diecuts . My title words phrases are from the Friends Forever Word Titles Diecuts .

To embellish my page, I started by adding large hearts from the Cloudy Hearts Cut-Aparts to my two large squares. Next, I added a few words from the Splish Splash Words Clear Stickers and the Lemonade Mix Diecuts . To finish, I added a few flowers from the Fresh Blooms Stems Diecuts and the Forget Me Not Stickers .

Thanks for joining me and have a lovely day. Kim

You Color My World

Hello all of my Pretty Little Studio Friends!
Misty @Mommyofkidz here today sharing my Project and Challenge from iNSD weekend!!
My Challenge was to use a color/mood board as inspiration for your project of any type.

I started out doing a double page 12x12 layout using the Die cut Rainbow from the Wildflowers Collection . I was also using the 12x12 page "Color Palette" ...which I ended up trimming the rainbow out of in order to maount the whole think on my wall!

I mounted both rainbows onto a 12x24 peice of black cardstock and trimmed that down. I loved how it looked already! Next, I began adding my photos, clouds, ribbons, flowers and finally the title that I cut with my Cricut. It came together so easily!

The flowers are an assortment from several different collections. A few of the blooms are from the Smell the Flowers pack in the Sunkissed Collection. Most of them, however, are from the Garden Blooms Pack in the Wildflowers Collection .
All of the ribbon was from my scrap ribbon stash. I loved that I had some that perfectly matched the colors!

Once it was all put together and humg on my wall in my scraproom, I was so flippin happy! It brightened up my room SOOOO MUCH! Honestly though, All things Pretty Little Studio make photos look prettier! LOL

NOW...It is YOUR TURN!
Use the mood board below and create something beautiful!

Candy Cane Season's Greetings Card

Thu, 07 May 2026 22:29:53 GMT

I hope you're having a great day! Today I'm sharing a beautiful holiday card made with the Pretty Little Studio Candy Cane Collection!

This card starts with a patterned paper background that I topped with a floral arrangement. To create a focal point I layered light grid pattern paper over a piece of darker dotted paper. To help with placement I lay all the images on a piece of clear plastic the size of the card base.

To help with placement I lay all the images on a piece of clear plastic the size of the card base. This helps me decide what to put where before committing and adhering everything in place. Some of the images are adhered with adhesive foam tape, like the big red flower so I could tuck other elements underneath.

Some holiday elements are mixed in with the florals - a candy cane, string of beads and an ornament.

The finishing touch is always a sprinkle of gems for some sparkle and shine! I hope you're smiling!

Bloom Where You are Planted

Wed, 06 May 2026 12:18:12 GMT

Hello, Pretty Little Studio friends! I'm happy to be on the blog today sharing my take on the May Scraplift Challenge. I chose to create my layout with the Sunkissed collection.

Isn't this inspiration layout adorable? I love the paper strips and faux stitching. I chose to use those design elements on my layout.

I started by cutting paper strips from the Sunkissed collection and arranging them on my white cardstock.

I love the bright colors and Spring patterns in the Sunkissed collection.

I wanted to showcase two photos from a baby shower I had recently for my son and daughter-in-law. We are awaiting the arrival of Baby Boy #3. They have created such a beautiful marriage and family. The title, "Bloom Where You Are Planted", was just perfect. I used Pretty Little Studio Sticker Stitches over several paper strips.

To complete my layout, I added stencilled hearts, journaling and several diecuts. I love the little duckie floating in with an umbrella. I imagine that is baby boy #3 and his 2 little brothers are the duckies at the bottom running to meet him.

Thanks for visiting the blog today. What special memories have you photographed lately? We would love to see what you create.

Make a Splash

Tue, 05 May 2026 00:30:31 GMT

Hi Creative Friends,

Are you dreaming of summer days filled with sunshine, water play, and carefree laughter? Tarrah back with you today and the layout I am sharing captures all of that happy energy perfectly. Using the Sunkissed and Bohemian Dream collections from Pretty Little Studio , I documented a fun-filled outdoor moment that was truly all about making a splash and enjoying the day.

The bright, playful color palette instantly sets a sunny mood. Layers of pinks, yellows, teals, and aquas come together beautifully, echoing the warmth of summer and the cool relief of water play. I love how the patterned papers from both collections mix effortlessly—bold polka dots, subtle textures, and soft grids add interest without overwhelming the photo.

To draw attention to the photo, I built a layered frame using a mix of papers, tabs, and ephemera. This helps anchor the layout while still allowing plenty of white space for the design to breathe. The Sunkissed pieces bring that fresh, summery vibe with phrases like “sunny” and “make a splash,” while Bohemian Dream adds a touch of whimsy with dreamy colors, arrows, and layered details.

The title, “splash the day away,” became the perfect focal point. Combining bold typography with hand-drawn elements and arrows helps lead the eye around the page and adds movement—just like the water-filled fun in the photo. Little details like bows, scalloped borders, and labels finish off the layout and give it a playful, handcrafted feel.

This page was such a joy to create and really shows how well the Sunkissed and Bohemian Dream collections work together. If you’re documenting summer memories, outdoor adventures, or those simple sunny moments, these collections are a perfect match.

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a look—I hope this layout inspires you to capture and celebrate your own splash-worthy days!

Happy creating!

Tarrah x

Hello Pretty Little Studio fans! It's Monique here today, sharing a layout created with the colorful Sunkissed collection.

For this layout I chose three smaller photos of our vacation in Sicily, Italy, last year. My husband wanted to see the vulcano Edna and so we climbed the stairs of this very old church and indeed! in the far distance we spotted the Edna! Here's the layout I made:

For this layout I chose the sheet " Puddle " for my background. I adore this paper with all the scribbeling and the pink paint. I cut off a thin strip of paper of all four sides and proceeded to distress the edges of the paper. I placed the sheet on a pink/purple colored cardstock and machinestitched all around it. Next I placed the three photos on top and embellished with lots of die-cuts.

Loving all the pinks in this collection!

I machine stitched over many of the die-cuts and added a few more pink paint drops.

I love this collection so much! All those bright colors are so me!

Thank you so much for stopping by our blog and please don't forget to check out the Sunkissed collection in the Pretty Little Studio store !

Hello to all of my fellow creators! Today I'm sharing my latest layout created using my absolute favorite Pretty Little Studio collection of all time - You Are My Sunshine !

My dad celebrated his 80th birthday this weekend, and my aunt shared some photos of him I'd never seen before. When I saw this picture I knew it needed a layout to showcase it ASAP. Look at what a cutie he was! I started out with the 12x12 Fly A Kite paper for my background. I love how it captures so much of what I knew my title would be with the carefree elements like the cupcakes and kites and the pawprints to go with the "puppy dog tails."

Since I knew I wanted to use this nursery rhyme as a very long title, the Out of the Blue mini ABC stickers were the perfect fit! I added journaling using a Brighter Days cut apart label . I've always loved hearing my dad's stories of how children made their own fun and adventures when he was growing up.

Underneath my photo, I used a Tim Holtz layered sunbeam stencil with Distress Oxides. The colors that went perfectly with this collection were tumbled glass, mustard seed, and crackling campfire. I added more of these colors through a mini diamond stencil scattered around the rest of the page.

Per my usual obsession with adding touches of black to my layouts, I also drew some sunbeam lines with a black sharpie and went over them again with an Elle's Studio stitches stamp. I pulled papers from the Sunshine Accent 6x6 pack to layer under my photo too. Stars seemed to be the perfect accent for a fun boy page, so I included several die cuts from the Under the Stars pack.

A festive banner begged to be added to the top of the page, and these flags from the Cool Aid Pennants cut aparts fit the the bill perfectly. Since the cut aparts are only $1 apiece, I usually buy several of each one. There's a load of bang for your (literal) buck there!

For my final touches, I scattered lots of star stamps and hole punches from one of the navy blue papers to tie my title and everything else together. I know this background is a little chaotic, but so is little boy energy, right?! ��

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! If you don't have the You Are My Sunshine collection yet, it's totally worth the investment. It always gets my creativity flowing!

I wish you happy creating!! Wendy ��

So Many Books So Little Time

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 12:52:57 GMT

Hello, friends!! Today I am sharing a layout that I created that is a bit different for me! Do you like to stay in your normal style or stretch your creativity and try new things? I think scraplifting different layouts is the perfect way for me to keep things fresh and try something I might not otherwise try!

I do really like how this turned out and I had lots of fun creating it. I used the Well Read collection. My background paper is Take Note . I actually used the double sided from this pack . I am happy I had that pack because I used lots of the freebie cut-outs on the packaging for this layout! The stripe paper was also from that pack but also comes individually in single sided. Besides the freebie cut-outs I also used die cut embellishments from Book Worm , Card Catalog , Page Turner , On my Shelf and the Bibliophile cut-aparts . The rectangles were cut from the 6x9 or 8x8 paper pack because the scale of the patterns are a bit smaller than the 12 x 12 pack.

Thank you so much for joining me! You can see the layout I scraplifted today and see my process video here or on YouTube (ScrapRona).

Me!

Hey Crafty Friends!

I’m absolutely loving the Love Is Kind Collection right now! ��
Today’s layout features a photo of me going to the Alo Store for the very first time . Yes, I know I could have just ordered online, but honestly, I really enjoy seeing things in person . There’s just something about shopping and experiencing it for yourself that makes it more fun! A big thank you to my husband for taking me all the way to Baltimore so I could finally go.

For this layout, I started with a 12x12 sheet from the collection and cut it down to 8.5x11 .

Next, I took a strip from one of the patterned papers and trimmed it down to fit my design. I also used the packaging cover to matte my photo , which is one of my favorite ways to get even more use out of my supplies. I added some banner stickers to the left corner of the photo and used pop dots to give everything a little extra dimension .

Then, I added sticker strips to the top and bottom of the page to help frame everything in. I also cut out two squares from the packaging and placed them to the right of the photo . I distressed the edges with my scissors to give them a little more texture and character.

To add even more detail, I included a scallop strip and a die cut triangle , then finished that area off with a staple for a fun layered look. I also added pop dots to the “fun” word die cut so it would stand out a little more.

I cut out one of the tag die cuts and popped that up as well, then added a sweet little die cut butterfly .

Lastly, I created a journaling spot using a smaller prompt layered on top of a larger one. I finished it off with a scallop strip , a torn paper strip , and another staple for extra texture.

And the “Me” title ? Those are stickers from Dollar Tree — such a fun and affordable finishing touch!

I really love how this layout came together. It’s soft, layered, dimensional, and full of sweet little details that make me happy.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Happy Crafting!

Sketch Challenge
Good morning, friends! Today, I'm sharing a double travel notebook spread I created using the You are My Sunshine Collection and a sketch for inspiration!

Here is the image of the sketch I used for inspiration. I love the big circle with a few embellishments around the circle. Since this is a summer spread, I only used a few flowers, but I just love my take on this sketch!

I cut the circle from the Sunshine Mixed 6x9 patterned paper pack and then cut it in half to spread it across the two spreads. I cut another layout of the circle to add dimension by layering them on the circle with foam squares.

I cut the sun and flowers from patterned paper to use as embellishments on the layout. Also, I cut the "slice of summer" Word Title in half to spread the title across the two pages.

To complete the layout, I added a few butterflies and enamel dots. What do you think of this month's sketch? Isn't it fun!? Thank you so much for visiting today.
