Hello Pretty Little Studio Friends, and Happy Sunday! Misty @Mommyofkidz here with you today sharing my latest layout. For this one, I chose to pull out the gorgeous Ginger Snap collection and put it to use. While some of our DT members are sharing Christmas in July projects...I decided to focus on Fall. As some of you know, Melissa is currently working on a new collection, and OH MY WORD it is gorgeous! It has me all up in the Fall Feels with its warm colors and Heart Warming elements! **If you haven't seen the teaser, go to the FB Fans page and sneak a peek! Anyway, after that little tease, I could not resist the urge to pull out Ginger Snap and create.
Once I started, I couldn't stop! I used the
12x12 Ledger for the base of everything, but also for my title. My handy dandy Cricut Machine cut that for me using the Dictionary page from the Ledger Pack and The Baby Claire Digital alphas. I LOVE this alphabet! It is missing a few letters, and I am not 100% sure that I have used it as it was designed...but y'all...I LOVE these letters! I created a vibrant surface using Distress oxides in colors that matched with the colors of the papers I would be using.

The 6x6 Accent pack was perfect for creating th top part of the layout to place my photo. I wanted to incorporate all the colors...and it worked!
I also used the
Cozy Weather Banner at the base of my title, and several pieces of ephemera from the Potpourri Mix throughout the layout. Some Apple Pie tiny word stickers rest on the tabs for my hidden journaling some clear word stickers on the photo.

Finally, Since this is my take on the July Scraplift of  Rona's layout, I did add in the very distinct distressed "fault line" to mimic the technique that she used in her layout.
This was a fun layout to create...and I very much enjoyed scrap lifting Rona's layout! Head over to the FB Fans page to see the original and join us in the challenge!


New Paragraph

Misty Foresman
After 30 years of scrapbooking, I’m still not bored with it. Life is wonderfully beautiful, painful, chaotic, tragic, messy, hilarious, terrifying, and sometimes even magical…and I know the importance of capturing and documenting even the dullest moments. When all you have left of your loved ones are the memories, those memories become your treasure. My current favorite subjects are my grown kids, but by the end of 2026, I will have a new tiny treasure to add… and I cannot wait!
