Long time, no see, y'all! It's Jinny here today with a page inspired by the onset of baseball season and my longtime love of the game. It came about as the result of the combined efforts of the You Are My Sunshine, Sunkissed, Wildflowers, Love Is Kind, and even our newest, Candy Cane collections, as well as a sweet, little package of Play Ball Vintage Die Cuts. Enjoy!
I started this page by smudging Stormy Night and Aquamarine Glimmer Mists, strategically, across the Wildflowers: 12x12 Ledger #1 base page. I then splattered it with those same shades of Glimmer Mist, as well as Pure Black and Titanium White acrylic paints. Once everything was dry, I began anchoring my strips of paper, vertically, with black-threaded, straight, machine stitching. From left to right, those prints came from the following collections: Sunkissed: 6x6 Accent Paper Pack(first two), hand-cut from the Candy Cane: 12x12 Fruitcake print, Candy Cane: 12x12 Candy Dots, 8x8 Gold Foil Countdown, 8x8 Black Dots, hand-cut from a You Are My Sunshine: 6x6 Sunshine Accent Paper Pack print, and You Are My Sunshine: 6x9 Accent Paper Pack. I then threw a number of ribbons and trimmings from my stash into the mix to create a scrumptious array of textures, before topping the whole lot with my photo, which I simply matted with white cardstock.
My photo itself was sandwiched between a trio of Play Ball Vintage Die Cuts, one of which was framed with a You Are My Sunshine: Frisbee Frames Die Cut, and all of which were popped up with foam tape...
and a You Are My Sunshine: Lemonade Mix Die-Cut tab, filled in with the handwritten date and topped with a couple of July Freebie Cut-Apart phrases, as well as my handwritten journaling.
A Sunkissed: Sunshine Mix Die-Cut ticket stub, laced with white string, tied in a bow, was tucked under the top edge of my photo.
I then anchored a couple of additional prints, including that same older 8x8 Black Dots print from above, as well as a punched strip of a You Are My Sunshine: 6x9 Sunshine Accent Paper Pack print, with more black-threaded, straight, machine stitching. A Love Is Kind: Lovely Mix Die Cut tab was tucked under their right side; filled in with a couple of Love Is Kind: Best Friend Clear Word Stickers; and embellished with a Love Is Kind: Lovely Mix Die-Cut stamp.
A Sunkissed: Iced Tea Words Die-Cut "Keep Smiling" title, You Are My Sunshine: Lemonade Mix Die-Cut ticket stub, Play Ball Vintage Die-Cut glove, and Hello Heather: Aloha Die-Cut "yes" round out the cluster...
while a quartet of Wildflowers: Honey Bee Clear Stickers, scattered throughout the design...
and trio of You Are My Sunshine: Lemonade Mix Die-Cut hearts, popped up with foam tape, complete the look.
Thanks so much for humbling us with a visit, Pretty Little Studio friends! Have a wonderful Wednesday!
