Pinkfresh Studio Let Your Heart Decide Blog Hop!

Hello, Pinkfresh fans! I'm up next on the "Let Your Heart Decide" Blog Hop lineup and I created this layout using this gorgeous new collection and one of my favorite photos from our recent family vacation to the Dominican Republic...

I started by placing one of the 6x6 patterned paper pieces on top of one of the more subtle 12x12 patterned papers from the "Let Your Heart Decide" collection and placed my photo directly in the middle of it. Next, I layered several of the die cuts and layered stickers from the collection around my photo. I was really inspired by the floral pieces and how they looked next to the colors in my photograph.

I also added several of the wood stickers to my floral embellishment clusters to add some extra dimension and texture contrast. I also layered a few of the puffy stickers around my photo as well and used the puffy letter stickers to complete my title.

I also journaled a bit on one of the label stickers and placed it under the left side of my photo. I also added an embellishment cluster under the right side of my photo and a little towards the bottom to help draw the eye around my page.

What do you think about this lovely new collection? For a chance to win the giveaway of the Let Your Heart Decide collection, all you have to do is comment on each blog in the hop and a random winner will be drawn on Saturday, February 3rd, 2018. Comments will close at 11:59pm CST on Thursday, February 1st, 2018.

Pinkfresh Studio Playing Favorites Blog Hop

Hello, Pinkfresh Studio fans! If you're hopping along with us today then you probably came from Amanda-Jayne Baldwin's blog. I'm the last stop on the hop so welcome! I chose to create a layout with one of my favorite photos of my family using the Escape the Ordinary collection...

The photo of us isn't amazing, or extraordinary, or professional by any means, but it's my favorite because it's one of those special moments captured when we are all together. As my children get older, that seems to be a rare occurrence these days. So I printed it off a little larger than I normally do for my layout photos and placed it on top of my FAVORITE patterned paper piece from the Escape the Ordinary collection.

I used gold foil letter stickers from the December Days collection because the red really stood out and popped with the rest of my color scheme. I added the words, "Together We Are"... and placed a sentiment piece of patterned paper from the Escape the Ordinary collection below it to complete my title.

I also added lots of triangle-shaped puffy stickers from the collection and kept my overall design simple and minimal, but still visually balanced and interesting thanks to the lovely puffy stickers!

Thanks so much for hopping along with us today! Be sure and comment on each blog to be entered to win an amazing prize from Pinkfresh Studio! Comments will close on Friday, January 5th, 2018 at 11:59pm CST and a random winner will be announced on Monday, January 8th, 2018! Good luck and happy New Year from Pinkfresh Studio!

Pinkfresh Studio December Days Blog Hop

Hello, everyone! If you're hopping along with us today for the December Days Blog Hop and giveaway, then you probably just came from the Pinkfresh Studio blog! I'm up next with a layout that I created using the festive December Days collection from Pinkfresh Studio!

I started my design by choosing the beautiful multi-colored snowflake patterned paper from the collection and misting it with some baby blue hued spray ink. I layered a few of the papers from the 6x6 paper pad underneath my photo and then used one of the 3x4 gold foiled cards and placed it on the right side of my photo to visually balance my design.

I gathered up lots of beautiful embellishments from the December Days collection to add dimension and color pops around my page. I layered several of the gold foiled die cuts and cardstock stickers around my photo and placed some of the puffy stickers around the sides of the 6x6 patterned paper pieces. I also added lots of the adorable wooden buttons to help draw the eye around my design. 

Be sure and hop along with us today and get a chance to win an amazing December Days Embellishment Package (photo below)! All you have to do is comment on each blog in the hop and a winner will be randomly selected! Commenting will close on Friday, December 22, 2017 at 11:59pm CST and a winner will be announced on Saturday, December 23, 2017. Good luck and happy holidays from all of us at Pinkfresh Studio!

I used the large house die from Top Dog Dies and the Bucket List Kit from Scrapbook Circle to create this 12x12 layout.  

One of my favorite things about using the die was that it had coordinating pieces such as the fence and adorable house accents like the windows and the chimney that really helped me add an extra dimension to my page. The Scrapbook Circle kit was filled with so many amazing patterned papers and adorable embellishments that made this page come together in a snap!

Gossamer Blue and Elle's Studio Blog Hop

Happy Monday, everyone!  Today the Gossamer Blue and Elle's Studio design teams are blog hopping and have TONS of creative inspiration to share with you!

I used the February Kits form Gossamer Blue that are packed full of fabulous Elle's Studio products to create my pocket page spread for Week 2...

The Elle's Studio products worked so well with the Life Pages cards and printables in this month's GB kits!  I love the soft colors and bright pops of red and accented my pages using the adorable Elle's Studio Love You More! Wood Veneers that are available in February's Life Pages Themed Add-on.

I also used several Elle's Studio journaling cards and lots of the Love You More! Lil' Snippets to my spread.  I added my title using the Head Over Heels Alpha Stickers from Echo Park (available in February's Main Kit) right over some of the gorgeous Doily Love patterned paper from Elle's Studio that I cut to fit the 4x6 pocket.

The alpha stickers were great to add some pops of red to my aqua and gray color scheme.

Here are a few more close-ups of my Week 2...
