Pretty Little Studio - Good Vibrations - You are Awesome

Another project using the Good Vibrations collection from Pretty Little Studio. 

For the layout I'm sharing today I started by trimming a sheet of the starry eyed paper  and matted this on a 12" x 12" sheet of smooth black cardstock leaving a narrow border round the edges. 

The packaging of the 12 x 12 single sided paper pack includes front and back cover sheets. The back cover sheet shows small preview squares of all the papers in the pack in a 4x4 grid, and so I trimmed this and placed onto the layout. It was perfect for creating a simple grid layout.

My photo, which was just under 5x7, was matted onto black cardstock and placed in the bottom right corner of the layout, covering 6 of the printed squares, and with 3D foam underneath to create some dimension.

I then set about embellishing the layout with pieces from the Seize the Day Die Cut pack and Wildflower Die Cut pack. The packs contains multicoloured phrases, stars & flowers and I chose some which were appropriate for a layout about my son.

The die cuts were raised on 3D foam so that they stood out from the otherwise flat background.

I also added texture with machine stitching round the outside edges of the paper/card layers.

Yellow Enamel dots were dotted here and there.

Finally I printed some details about the photo onto a paper strip and attached this below the photo.

Pretty Little Studio - Good Vibrations - This is Our Happy Place

Today I've a layout to share using the new Good Vibrations collection from Pretty Little Studio. This collection was created by Ashley Horton and is all about feeling good. With bright cheerful colours, hearts, flowers and happy phrases it is perfect for summer scrapbooking.

For my layout today I used one sheet of paper from the 12x12 single sided paper pack and die cuts from the wildflower and frames packs plus a flair button and some enamel dots.

I started by trimming ¼" from each edge of the Play it Cool paper and matted this onto a sheet of 12x12 smooth white cardstock. On top of the paper I placed my large 11½" by 8½"  photo and then using white thread I machine stitched round the edges of the paper and the photo.

From white cardstock I die cut my title on the Silhouette Cameo using a cut file from the Silhouette Store. My title was attached to the top of the layout with 3D foam underneath.

Two embellishment clusters were created on opposite corners of the photo with all the elements raised on more 3D foam. In the bottom corner I used yellow/brown die cuts to echo the sand in the photo and in the top corner I used blue, to echo the sky.

I cut one of the Picture Day Die Cut Frames in half and used one half in each cluster. Phrases from the Seize the Day Die Cuts and frames pack were also added.

The Wildflower Die Cuts contain lots of circular flowers so I pulled out the yellow/brown and blue ones and added them to the layout. In the Be Seeing Ya Flair Buttons there was a blue heart which was the perfect addition.

Finally I scattered a few brown and blue enamel dots into the clusters.
