Howdy all my Pretty Little Studio Friends! And Happy Wednesday to you! Misty @mommyofkidz here with you today sharing my take on the August Scraplift challenge! I had the pleasure of lifting my own layout!!! And of course I could not do the exact same thing right??? Well...let's just say that I tried really hard to do it differently while maintaining the integrity...but I absolutely LOVE the Comfort & Joy Collection ...and I could not resist the urge to use it again! I started with my 12x12 collection pack and started sorting through...finding the pages and patterns that I would want to use for my layout.I landed on the pale pinks, mint greens, and go course, black. I do keep my scraps together, so I had plenty of those to choose from also! Once all of my background was covered in my paper strips, I began decorating. I didn't think I needed a lot since there was already so much going on with the background. I simply dumped out my Filled With Love Heart Die Cuts and sorted through for pink, black, and green ones to match. I did choose to have the strips going vertical instead of horizontal...but I did stay pretty tru to the original layout. **Scroll to the bottom to see my original** Y'all, I absolutely adore this photo of my great niece...she is so stinking' cute! I also enjoyed scrap lifting myself! Ha HA! Thank you all for stopping by. I hope to see you over on the Pretty Little Studio Facebook Fans Page playing along with our monthly challenges!

Hello Scrappy Friends! Tara here with a layout using Frosty and Friends. I don't know about you, but I am struggling a little bit with the high temps we've had so far this summer. I just moved from a dry climate to a humid one and it's a struggle. It has me beginning to wish for cooler temperatures. I know...bite my tongue! It'll be here before we know it. Today, I am playing with the August Sketch challenge and making it my own. For me, a sketch is a jumping off point and I like to change them up to suit my photos, stories and style. I started with plain, white cardstock and ran it through my electronic cutting machine to cut out three hexagons in different sizes. I added some mixed media to my white cardstock using the packaging technique. From there, I used patterned papers from Frosty and Friends to back those hexagons, popping up my background with foam tape. After that it was easy to add some embellishments from the collection. For my title, I used some tile letters from a collection that is no longer available, Grateful Heart, but I linked up a similar set from Frosty and Friends below.
Hi everyone! I'm so excited to share my first project as a member of the Pretty Little Studio Design Team! For the August Scraplift Challenge, I took inspiration from Misty Foreman's beautiful layout and created my own interpretation using the You Are My Sunshine collection. I had so much fun making this page, and I hope it inspires you to join the challenge too. I can't wait to see everyone's creations!
Hello creative friends. Shanel here to share my layout using the Pretty Little Studio Well Read collection. I created for the Pretty Little Studio Facebook group August Challenge. I love how Misty used simple paper strips in varying lengths to create a beautiful vertical design! I cut my strips in wider widths continuing her design of varying lengths. A soft palette of blue, brown, and orange gives the page a feel that perfectly complements the story of my love of reading with a cozy feel! Beginning with a white cardstock background, I chose a mix of soft blue, warm brown, and muted orange prints balancing smaller patterns with a few solids. Arranging the strips vertically along the left side of the page, I stitched down the center of the strips with coordinating thread. I thought this design element would mimic an open book with pages. I added labels and emphemra from this collection scattered across the strips, keeping them relatively flat so the stitched strips remain an important design feature. To create balance against the vertical strip design, I placed my photo on the right side. When matting the photo, I cut the mat longer than necessary vertically (4x12) so that I could fold it over and score the crease, hiding journaling underneath. The photo lifts up and my recent reads are inside. I love to visit my local library every week and find my next adventure! Saturday mornings you’ll always find me there cruising the shelves. As part of the journaling, I included some of my favorite books read this year and how I felt about them with a quick star rating. Oh and don't mind my "Saturday morning, library hair" in the photo :) This was a fun layout design to lift! Join in the August Challenge and show us your take on this beautiful design by creating with your favorite Pretty Little Studio collection and sharing in the Facebook group.
