Sizzling Memories
Jinny Newlin • June 3, 2026

Hey, y'all!  It's Jinny here today with a page inspired by our You Are My Sunshine Collection.  With everyone going different directions this summer, let's just get right to it.  Shall we?

I started this page by adding lots of distressed, 1" wide, 6x9 Accent Paper Pack and Sunshine 8x8 Paper Pack prints, of varying lengths, to the edges of a 12x12 textured, white cardstock, base page, layering a few strips as I went, and then anchoring them all with a black-threaded, straight, machine-stitch frame 5/8" in from the outside edge.

I then matted my photos with white cardstock and adhered them in a grid design in the center of my frame. A Fruit Salad Die-Cut sun crowns my first photo...

and a "FRIENDS" Love Is Kind: Always There Words Cut-Apart, anchored, at its left end, with an orange button, laced with black, embroidery floss, grounds it.

A "sizzling MEMORIES" Just Peachy Word Titles Die Cut, popped up with foam tape and topped with a simple "FIELD TRIP" phrase, using Hey Summer: Heat Wave Alpha Stickers, as well as "A day in May" Wildflowers: White Spring Words Sticker and "adventures" Love Is Kind: Best Friend Clear Word Sticker, creates my title.

I hand-cut the layered flame from Stampin' Up, textured Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight cardstocks; inked their edges with Tea Dye and Antique Linen Distress Inks for depth; anchored each layer with color-coordinating machine-stitching; and topped the result with an Alex Vintage Die Cut, popped up with foam tape.

A couple of Out of the Blue Die-Cut Tags, laced with white string, tied in bows, fill in a little empty space within my grid and create movement throughout my design.

My third and final photo was topped with an "add WATER" Just Peachy Word Titles Die Cut, popped up with foam tape and backed with a Lemonade Mix Die-Cut tab, to house my handwritten date. A couple more orange buttons, laced with black embroidery floss, make a trio and complete the look.

Thanks so much for visiting, Pretty Little Studio friends! I hope you're all having an extra fabulous summer!
