Inspirational love layout for PINK PAISLEE

Wednesday, September 26, 2018

Hello dear friends,
today I'm sharing one of my favorite layouts I've done lately.
Image 73
Since I love using flowers on my layouts but have almost none left in all of my collections (yes... really sad... need to buy more ;) ), I was inspired by Paige's hand-stitched white floral piece to make this beautiful piece myself. I used a cutfile (#184186) from Pink Paislee in the silhouette store. I printed it on white paper, pierced holes and then stitched the whole thing with a chain-link stitch and back stitch. Then I cut it out leaving a thick border.
@lisafonseca1985 loves using flowers in her layouts. But what do you do when you almost used up and fussy-cut out all of the flowers from all the @pinkpaislee collections you have? Well, you use a @pinkpaislee cutfile, hand-stitch all the flowers with coloruful thread and use it as a center piece on your layout.
Yes, I admit, it took quite some time to finish it, but it was soooo worth it! :) I'm so happy with how it turned out.
As a background, I used a patterned paper from the Summer Lights collection. I trimmed off the edges and adhered it on a paper from Oh my Heart. Then I distressed the borders of the blue paper. I like creating borders like this, I do it on almost all of my layouts. Most of the times, it looks more finished to me.

I tried to find the perfect placement for my big floral piece and adhered it to the page using sticky foam to make it stand out. Then I matted my picture using a lot of scraps of paper and also some ephemera pieces. I placed it on my page using sticky foam as well. Then I finished decorating around it, using some cardstock stickers from Pick-me-up.

I fussy-cut out ALL of the flowers I had left from that beautiful Oh my Heart patterned paper and placed them around the picture as well as around my hand-stitched piece.

I splattered gold paint on the whole layout to finish it. :)

Never a crabby day layout for PINK PAISLEE

Saturday, September 15, 2018

Hey scrappy people, 
I'm back on the blog to share a cute and summery layout with you.
It’s really easy not to feel „crabby“… Just pull out your @pinkpaislee @paigetaylorevans #pickmeup collection and create some cute paper-pieced crabs with funny faces and scrap one your favorite vacation pictures. Your day will not feel that „crabby“ anymore says @lisafonseca1985.
I often find inspiration for my layouts on Pinterest. When I saw an artwork with a bunch of cute little crabs on it, I really wanted to make a page with paper-pieced crabs :)
So to start, I chose four patterned papers from Paige's Pick-me-up collection, I drew some wonky circles, claws and little feet on them, cut them out and created my crabs. I adhered them on white paper, stitched around the pieces with matching thread and cut them out again, leaving a white border.

As a background paper, I chose one from the Summer Lights collection. I placed my crabs on the paper in a kind of grid design and adhered them on the page, using sticky foam to make them pop out and create dimension.

Then I cut out a bunch of pink and gold flowers from a floral paper from Oh my Heart. I scattered them on my page, placing a lot of them around the crabs.
For every crab, I also used one or two little piece that I thought would really match and complete the design. I used chipboard, cardstock and ephemera pieces from Summer Lights and Pick-me-up.

I wanted to put some scalloped strips on the top and bottom of the page. At first I wanted to use my scallop punch but when I went through the patterned papers from Pick-me-up I saw that paper with the ombre hearts. I thought that if I'd cut the bottom off those hearts id would create a cool colorful scalloped strip. So I picked two rows of hearts where the colors really matched and I used them on the top and bottom of the layout. Then I stitched around the page with dark pink thread.

I used a picture from my last vacation in Italy. I matted it on some scraps of patterned paper and placed it on the page, in between all of the crabs.
As a title, I used thickers from Pick-me-up. To finish the page, I splattered some white and gold paint on the page.

Food, friends, sunshine layout for PINK PAISLEE

Thursday, September 6, 2018

Hi friends, it's Lisa on the blog today.
I created a beautiful wreath using flowers and little pieces from five different collections. I love how it turned out so much that I need to look at it every time I go into my scrap room or scroll through my pictures on my phone. I love colorful pages like this one.
Creating a wreath is one of @lisafonseca1985 favorite things to make. See how she used flowers and other cute pieces from four different @pinkpaislee collections to create a colorful wreath. The little hand-stitched flamingo makes it look even cuter of course… #pinkpaislee #pickmeup #ohmyheart #turnthepage #confettiwishes #wreath #paigeevans #flamingo
Those of you who already know me surely know that I love using flowers on my layouts. Flowers just make everything look so colorful and fun. I have to say... it's getting really hard to find more flowers in my collections... I almost used them all... ;)
So to start, like you can imagine, I went through the Oh my Heart, Turn the Page, Pick.me-up and Confetti Wishes collections and chose all the patterned papers with flowers. I fussy-cut a bunch out and started placing them in a circular design on my page.

Every time I thought I had enough flowers, I had to go back an cut out some more. I wanted the wreath to look very full.
When the flower base was done, I also went through other papers, pieces and stickers and chose all the little items I wanted to incorporate into the wreath. I wanted people to look at the wreath and discover new things everytime.

I used butterflies from the Turn the Page collection, watermelons from Pick-me-up, leave chipboard stickers and a parrot puffy sticker from Confetti Wishes. I also  thought that a little flamingo would look really cool on the wreath. So I created one by paper-piecing and hand-stitching patterned paper and I placed it on my wreath.

I used a picture from our last vacation, matted it on one piece of pink paper and placed it on the right hand side of the layout.

As a title, I used thickers from Turn the Page and Auburn Lane and I also cut out the word "friends" from patterned paper.
To finish the page, I splattered some black ink all around the wreath.
I hope you like how the layout turned out.

Always you and me layout for the HIP KIT CLUB

Hi friends,
it's Lisa back on the blog today and I'm sharing a super cute page I created using only the august main kit from the Hip Kit Club.

I'm totally in love with how this page turned out :)
When I went through my kits the first time, what immediately jumped to my eye, was this beautiful floral paper from the new Maggie Holmes collection, Willow Lane. I knew I wanted to fussy cut tons of flowers and use them on my layout. What I really liked too, were these mini puffy stickers from the same collection. There are all sorts of animal heads, which are the cutest.
So to start, I took a sheet of white paper and I hand-drew two of those heads. A panda head and a fox head.

Then, as I always do, I drew and cut out the different parts of the animals from different patterned papers, all included in the main kitand paper kit. When my animal heads were done, I adhered them on a piece of white paper, hand-stitched around them in matching colors and cut them out again, leaving a thin white border.

I used a picture from my last vacation in Italy. We were in a super cute Agriturismo (small hotel with handmade food) in San Gimignano and had fun taking pictures. I chose a photo from me and my boyfriend and used a super cute pompom frame from the Maggie Holmes collection. The black went perfect with the black paper I used for the animals.

To frame my whole layout, I cut off 1/8 inch border of my white cardstock and placed it on a blue floral paper from the Willow Lane collection. Then I stitched around with gold thread. I really like doing this and I do it on almost all of my layouts.
Then I fussy cut out a bunch of flowers and leaves from that beautiful patterned paper. I tried to find the best placement for my two animal heads and my picture. When I was happy with the placement, I adhered them, using sticky foam and then I placed all the flowers around.

In the centre of every flower, I placed a cute puffy sticker, either a little head or a heart. Then I used the sticker sheets from that collection again and placed some whimsical flowers and stars on my page. As a title I also used two stickers from the Maggie Holmes sticker sheets that said 'Always' and 'You and me'.
I finished the page by splattering some gold color shine on the layout. All the products I used in this layout are from the august main kit.
I really hope you like it. I you do, don't forget to check out the process video on YouTube.
