Shine Bright
Jinny Newlin • May 28, 2026

Hey, ya'll! It's Jinny here today with a page inspired by the You Are My Sunshine Collection (Although, there are a few kisses of the Sunkissed Collection, as well as a few older collections, mixed about.) and, once again, my love of baseball. Enjoy!

I started this page by adding a yellow, watercolor puddle, just left of vertical center, across my 12x12 watercolor paper, base page. I then splattered it with yellow, blue, and red watercolors and Pure Black and Titanium White acrylic paints, before matting my photos with white cardstock and framing each of them, from left to right, with 6x9 Accent Paper Pack prints (the first two), a 6x9 Sunshine Paper Pack print, and XOXO: 6x9 You & Me 3, all anchored with black threaded, straight, machine stitching. A hand-cut, from a Sunshine 3x4 Pocket Card, sun was tucked under the top combined edges of the first two photos...

while the second photo alone was further dressed up with a Lemonade Mix Die-Cut tab, filled in with a "keep shining" White Berry Sweet Word Sticker.

The third photo was backed with both an Out of the Blue Die-Cut tag, laced with white string, tied in a bow, and a snippet of white cheesecloth for texture.

All of my photos were then anchored with a "CHASING Summer" Sunkissed: Iced Tea Words Die Cut...

wrapped around a Play Ball Vintage Die Cut...

as well as a "shine BRIGHT" Berry Sweet Words Die-Cut title, topped with Fruit Salad Die-Cut lemons. All of these grounding elements were popped up with foam tape to give them that depth and dimension y'all know I love so much and, in turn, anchored with my handwritten journaling.

A scattering of a combination of Under the Stars Die CutsSunkissed: Shooting Stars Die Cuts, Hello Heather: Aloha Die Cuts (Many of these combinations of die cuts were popped up with more foam tape.), and Document Life: Star Stickers...

as well as a trio of word phrases, including "it's summer ya'll and "happiness" White Berry Sweet Word Stickers and a "Sunshine is my favorite accessory." Sunny Day Quote Sticker, complete the look.

Thank you so much for paying us a visit, Pretty Little Studio friends! I can't wait to see what y'all have got cooking in your scrap rooms this summer!
