Springtime | Sunkissed collection | Pretty Little Studio

 Hi creative friends!

It's Tarrah back with you and today I am sharing a new Spring themed layout featuring the gorgeous Sunkissed collection by Pretty Little Studio! The Sunkissed collection was perfect for documenting 2 photos of my Mum amongst a pretty garden full of beautiful flowers. 

I started with a plain sheet of white cardstock, I then cut out a floral cut file from Paige Evans from another sheet of white cardstock and adhered the cut file to the white cardstock. I like the result of the white on white look. I added 2 die-cut frames around my photos and then nestled them in sitting above the cut file.

Around the photos, I added lots of words and phrases from the Sunkissed collection to help tell my story. Down no the cut file, I placed lots of the floral phrase shapes, adding them using craft foam. I then added some smaller flowers and hearts in and around the cut file as well. 

 

I chose a title, 'Springtime' and added it amongst the flowers, I love how the black title pops against the colors in the flowers. Lastly I took some of the clear sticker stitches and placed them around the outside of the cardstock to create the look of a bit of texture. 

I think my layout turned nice and I hope you enjoyed reading how I created it.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy creating!

Love 6" x 8" Album | Doodlebug Designs | Lots of Love collection

Hi creative friends! 

Today, I have a recap of my love themed Doodlebug Design 6" x 8" album using the Bubblegum color album together with the gorgeous Lots of Love collection.

My favorite part of my album would have to be the front cover, I just love pink, red and white together and how can you go past that cute teddy bear with the balloons right? 

Some detail photos below of the front cover.

I loved that I could add some detail to the name plate on the spine.

My front page has a heart cut file on it with some papers backed behind the cut file. I added my title and a banner to begin the theme of my album.

Below is the 'Sweet' themed double spread I created using an album chipboard cover and some album pocket pages. The pocket pages are perfect for adding small photos and smaller embellishments.

The spread below features one large pocket page on the left with a jar of hearts cut file and the right hand side holds a photo mat and some embellishments from the die-cut packs, Chit Chat, Odds and Ends and some This and That stickers. 

The below spread has the pocket page on the right with all of the hearts added and the left hand side holds a large photo with some Chit Chat and Odds and Ends die-cuts.

The right-hand side pocket on the page below holds some sweet Valentine's cards and love notes my partner and I have exchanged, because of the whole letter theme for this spread, I just had to use the envelope/delivery embellishments.

The 25 Things I Love About You journal card was the perfect addition to my album, I was able to write down 25 things that I love about my partner and I love that we can look back on this in the future to remind us. 

The below spread is my floral spread, I loved adding a few flowers to this spread in the form of a mixed size pocket page.

I loved adding elements like machine stitching and cut files to my album, I love that the machine stitching adds some texture along with Doodle Twine and I love how cut files really help with designs and filling pages.

I absolutely LOVE anything to do rainbows so I had to feature a rainbow page. The below chipboard cover features a photo on a photo mat with some rainbow embellishments and I created a pocket to be able to pull out that might hold extra photos and/or journaling. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today to see the recap of my 6" x 8" album! I hope you get the chance to add some memories and pretty things to your album, we would love to see yours! Make sure to tag Doodlebug on socials so we can see!

Happy creating!

Love 6" x 8" Album | Lots of Love collection | Doodlebug Design Inc

Hi creative friends,

 Today I am back to share some more pages from my Bubblegum 6" x 8" album and I have continued using the gorgeous Lots of Love collection throughout my album, I love this collection to document the love between my partner and I. 

I decided that my title page would have a heart background cut file and I also placed the "So Happy Together" die-cut title over the top of the cut file and also added the heart banner under the title. I backed the hearts in the cut file with some papers from the 6" x 6" paper pad. 

This next spread I decided to choose a rainbow theme, on the left hand side I made a pocket to be able to pull out extra photos and journaling and added a rainbow die-cut to the top. I added a rainbow envelope Doodle Pop to the front ( aren't they just the cutest?) and also some Bumblebee Doodle Twine along with some puffy stickers.

On the right hand side, I added one of the long journal spots to the far right and then a 3" x 4" card on the other side, I also added some small puffy hearts to the card.

For this next spread, I used a pocket on the right hand side and a clear pocket page on the right. I made this one the heart hot air balloon theme. I added the large "25 Things I Love About You" journaling paper on the far right, adhering it to the top of the pocket on the right. I took another 3" x 4" card and adhered that next to the journaling card. I added a photo here and popped up the "Love" title with craft foam. 

It didn't take me long to write 25 things I love about my partner hehe!

On the left hand side is the clear pocket page, at the top I added a photo and stapled a banner die-cut and added the You & Me arrow. I also added some hearts in a die-cut and some puffy stickers. On the bottom section, I added a paper from the 6" x 6" paper pad and placed some stickers from the This and That sticker sheet, I also added some die-cuts here as well.

I Love You | Various collections | Pretty Little Studio

  Hi creative friends!

It's Tarrah back with you and today I am sharing a new love-themed layout since its almost Valentine's Day and it was created for Pretty Little Studio since.

I used 3 different collections to create this layout, documenting a dinner date with my Love last year! I used the Sugar Plum, XOXO and Perfect Match collections.

I absolutely love the pink, red, black and white color scheme for Valentine's Day and in general so this is what I chose! I pulled out lots of the Love themed elements from all 3 collections. 

I cut the papers into strips and placed them above and below my photo and I also added some labels above and below too. On the right of my photo, I tucked in 2 tags. 

Hearts are one of my very favorite things so of course, there had to be a few on this layout! I added a few different sizes and colors. To help tell the story, I added a few word and phrase stickers on top of the labels. Some of the last touches were some faux stitch clear stickers and some flicks of some black mist.

Thanks so much for stopping by the Pretty Little Studio blog today! I hope you are inspired to create using some PLS collections soon!

Happy creating!

Love 6" x 8" Album | Lots of Love collection | Doodlebug Design Inc

 Hi creative friends! 

I'm back with more pages from the inside of my Doodlebug Design Inc 'Love' themed Bubblegum 6" x 8" album. 

I decorated 4 pages and decided to add some cut files together with the Lots of Love collection - one of my favorite combinations!

The left hand side is a full 6" x 8" pocket, I added a jar cut file and backed the hearts using papers from the Lots of Love 6" x 6" paper pad. I adhered it to the pink cardstock inside the pocket. I added the jar die-cut to the bottom right corner and took some titles from the Lots of Love Chit Chat pack and placed at the top of the jar. I also placed a border sticker from the This and That sticker sheet under the title.   

On the right hand side, I used one of the chipboard dividers and created a large photo mat and after placing my photo, added some die-cuts at the bottom and a phrase banner die-cut at the top. On the tab on the divider I added a tab sticker from the This and That sticker sheet. 

My next spread consists of more pocket pages and the back of a plain white pocket page and I decided to make this spread a 'Sweet' theme! On the left, I added another cut file, backing the letters and hearts using papers from the Lots of Love 6" x 6" paper pad. I then added some die-cuts that were sweet themed.

I also added the phrase banner die-cut to the centre and some die-cut hearts all using craft foam to add some dimension. I love how the colors pop against the white of the cardstock.

On the right hand side, still keeping with the 'Sweet' theme, I used a 4x pocket page with the sizes of each pockets measuring approximately 3" x 4". I love that you can add photos and papers or mix it up and add both like I did! I added some cute die-cuts right over the top of my photo as well.

Love 6" x 8" album | Lots of Love collection | Doodlebug Design Inc

Hi creative friends!

Love is in the air.....I don't know about you but I love documenting my LOVE story! The 6" x 8" albums by Doodlebug Design Inc are perfect for adding memories and keeping them together in one convenient beautiful album!

I used the gorgeous Lots of Love collection to hold lots of my recent LOVE memories, decorating the album chipboard pieces, clear pocket pages and pockets too! I also created my own pockets to store tags, memorabilia and photos in. In the photo below, I created pockets behind both the photo and the journal card to put the tags in. I also machine-stitched the edges of these before I adhered them to the page. 

In the clear pocket pages, I placed another photo in the bottom right corner and a journal card to the left. At the top, I cut up one of the papers from the 6' x 6' paper pad and then placed a die-cut on the top of the pocket using craft foam for some dimension. 

On the left I made another pocket and tucked in some tags, for this spread, I kept to a floral theme, adding stickers and die-cuts and I love how it turned out. 

For the spread below I chose a delivery/sending theme, adding lots of the mail themed items in the pockets, on the right-hand side I tucked in some memorabilia including a beautiful card and a love note from my partner.

Beautiful Life | Savannah Dreams collection | Pretty Little Studio

Hi crafty friends!

It's Tarrah back with you and today I am sharing a new layout with you featuring the gorgeous Savannah Dreams collection by Pretty Little Studio. I documented a photo of my beautiful niece on holidays recently, the Savannah Dreams collection was perfect to document the photo, the colors in the photo went so well with the colors in the collection.

I cut out a messy circle cut file from pink cardstock and adhered it to the background paper from the Savannah Dreams collection. I also machine stitched the circles using some matching pink thread.

On the left side of the circle, I adhered my photo using foam tape. I layered one of the papers under my photo and placed a piece of thin washi tape at the bottom of the photo. On the left hand side, I tucked in a floral cluster die-cut and placed one of the pretty flair buttons here too. 

At the top I added more die-cuts and a transparent word. On the right of the photo, I placed more die-cuts and a phrase die-cut. I added the Beautiful Life title at the bottom of the circle using foam tape and added a transparent floral cluster and a phrase die-cut here also.

I took the beautiful butterfly die-cuts from the ephemera pack and adhered 3 of them to the right hand side of the layout, overlapping the circle. 

I hope you are inspired to create with the gorgeous Savannah Dreams collection and enjoyed reading about how I created my layout.

6" x 8" Bubblegum album cover | Doodlebug Design Inc

Hi creative friends!

Happy New Year!

Have you seen the new gorgeous 6" x 8" albums by Doodlebug Design Inc? They are sooo beautiful and come in 14 different colors. I was lucky enough to pick the color I wanted to work with and if you know me, I absolutely love PINK, so I chose the Bubblegum album and today I am sharing how I decorated the front cover.

I decided on a love theme for my album, to celebrate and document photos of myself with my amazing and fairly new partner for life! First up I raided my ribbon and trim stash and pulled out the perfect white heart ribbon which I adhered to the left side overlapping the pink spine. I then added puffy hearts in the open spaces of the ribbon. I used red and 2 different pink puffy hearts. 

I then trimmed a strip from the Hugs and Kisses paper and adhered that flush to the spine of the album. I then took the Ladybug twine and tied it around the album, I added a Little Charmer from the Happy Healing collection and also a Bits and Pieces die-cut from the Lots of Love collection. I also added a cardstock sticker from the This and That sticker sheet.

For the metal plate, I added a tag piece from the 6' x 6' paper pad and also added a puffy heart to the left to cover the circle of the tag. I wanted to keep the cover in the colors of pink, red and white as I feel it really pops!  

Back to the top of the album, I took the XOXO title from the Chit Chat die-cut pack and adhered it to the centre of the front cover using foam tape. I then took the bear holding the balloons die-cut from the Odds and Ends pack and adhered it covering the first blue 'O' of the XOXO. I added some more little Chit Chat pieces and I took some of the larger hearts from the Bits and Pieces pack and adhered those to the front cover too. 

Stay tuned for future posts where I will be sharing how I have added some memories and decorated the inside of the album! I love how my cover turned out, make sure you get your hands on some of these gorgeous albums, remember there are 14 colors!
