Don't grow up layout for PINK PAISLEE
Friday, March 22, 2019
Hi lovely friends,
it's Lisa back on the blog today to share the cutest layout made with the adorable Little Adventurer collection.
In December me and my girlfriends did a little shooting session and one of my friends brought this huge teddy bear. I took some pictures with it and I think they turned out so cute and dreamy. The new Little Adventurer collection was perfect to document it.
To start I created this adorable little bear using the paper-piecing and hand-stitching techniques. I drew the bear, cut out the different pieces, traced around those on different patterned papers and cut them out again. Then I adhered them on a pink patterned paper, stitched around some parts with matching thread and cut it out leaving this pink border.
For my background, I took a 12x12 sheet of white paper and did some mixed media on it that would look like a kind of halo behind the bear. Then I splattered a lot of gold and pink paint all over the page. When everything was dry, I placed the bear on the page and adhered it with craft foam to make it more dimensional.
I wanted the bear to wear a flower crown, So I used some flower stickers but also cut a few out of the patterned papers. I added them to the head, along with some wood veneer stars that I painted white. I also gave the bear a little flower to hold in its hand.
I matted my picture on a lot of pieces of patterned paper... love doing that... and placed it next to the little bear.
For my title, I used different materials. I used some of the alpha thickers, a word thicker that I cut apart, some hand-cut letters and some gold glitter letters I fussy-cut out of the speciality paper included in the collection. I love mixing alphas and fonts, it always look super fun! :)
I added some scalloped border stickers to two of the sides and some chipboard and cardstock stars and I was done! :)
Thank you so much for spending some time with me.
Fantastic layout for PINK PAISLEE
Wednesday, March 13, 2019
Hey scrappy people,
it's Lisa back on the blog today, sharing a layout I made using the brand new Paige Evans collection called Horizon. I really love every Paige collection, but I have to admit, with Oh my Heart, this is my favorite collection of them all. :)
Here is what I created...
I wanted to make a layout where I could showcase a lot of those beautiful patterned papers in rainbow colors. So I chose one of Paige newest cutfiles where I could back each letter with a different patterned paper. I used papers with very small patterns that can almost count as solids.
I started by tracing each letter on the papers and cut them out. I didn't want to back the cutfile in the usual way though, I wanted the cutfile to sit on the letters a little crooked. So I attached the letters to another one of the patterned papers and the I placed the cutfile on top. I stitched over each letter of the cutfile with color matching thread to give more interest.
Haha... don't look at some letters too closely, the stitching machine is a bit complicated and not that performant and I'm really not the best at machine stitching... ;) I don't think it matters though, I love that it's not really perfect.
I also used a 3d flower cutfile from Paige to create some flowers with matching colors. I placed the flowers next to the letters with the same color.
I also added some ephemera flowers next the 3D ones. The flowers of this collection are EXACTLY how I love them... I will need at least 20 packs of ephemera... :)
I also wanted to add leaves to the flowers, but using more patterns and colors would've been too much. So I cut them out of white paper and traced around them with a fine gold pen. Then I added them to some of the bigger flowers. I matted my pictures on some scraps of paper and added them too.
Since you couldn't see the word of the cutfile 'Fantastic' very good anymore, I wanted to include it again. I hand-cut out letters from matching patterned papers, adhered them to white paper and cut the word out, leaving a white border. Then I adhered it to the layout, adding also the word 'women' with tiny foam thickers.
To frame the layout, I used a few of the washi tapes from the collection. I ripped random pieces of them and adhered them to the borders of the page.
Finally, I added some white splatters and I was done!
Thank you so much for being here! :)
'Once upon a time' layout for PINK PAISLEE
Sunday, March 3, 2019
Hi scrappy friends, it's Lisa on the blog today to share this layout with you.
A few weeks ago, we got the brand new Pink Paislee collection called 'Little Adventurer'. It's a baby collection and has a boy part and a girl part. The designs and elements are really cute and I was really looking forward to start working with it. Since I don't have kids though, it'll be a bit challenging to find the right pictures to go with it. I can always use all the pictures of my cat, haha! :)
Here I didn't use a picture of my cat though, I used a picture of me and two of my friends, we took a month ago. The picture has a lot of white and pink in it and is really cute, so I thought it'd be a perfect match.
After looking for some inspirations, I decided to create a cute little castle made out of patterned papers.
I chose some papers and started cutting out the different shapes I needed to make the castle.
When I had all my pieces, I started adhering them onto the page. To make the castle stand out more, I used a white and grey pen to trace around all of the elements. then I cut off the edges of my page and adhered it to a royal blue patterned paper to create a frame around the layout. You know me... I always need my frames, haha... :)
I really love the flowers in this collection. So I used the paper with the flowers to cut out a whole bunch of them and placed them around the page.
As my title, I used the thickers from the collection and wrote: 'Once upon a time...'
To finish the layout, I splattered some gold and blue paint all around it. :)
Thank you so much for being here. See you soon!

'Lovely smiles' layout for PINK PAISLEE
Wednesday, February 20, 2019
Hey there scrappy friends,
I'm back on the blog today, sharing this layout.
For this layout, I created my own cutfile. I designed a wreath in the silhouette program, made of hearts and stars and flowers. To cut it out of, I used one of Paige Evans' patterned papers from the Whimsical collection, the one with the rainbow stripes.
I wanted to do a little mixed media on the background before placing the wreath on it. First I put some white gesso on the whole sheet of paper, then I took some Distress Oxides and put down some color being careful to use the same colors as on the wreath.
When the machine was done cutting the different shapes, I started adhering the shapes unto the page. To help me do this, I used the paper the shapes were cut out of, as a stencil.
Then I cut off the edges of the white paper and placed it on that same rainbow patterned paper to create a matching border.
To embellish and make the wreath look more full and rounder, I used some rub-ons, enamel shapes, cardstock stickers, chipboard stickers and punched-out hearts.
I matted my picture on some scraps of patterned papers and adhered it to my page. Next to it, I used an ephemera piece and some mini foam stickers to create my title.
To finish the layout, I splattered some paint around the wreath, using the same rainbow colors.
I hope you like how it turned out and are inspired to create your own cutfile for your next project! :)

'This was so much fun' layout for PINK PAISLEE
Friday, February 8, 2019
Hi friends, it's Lisa back on the blog today!
A few weeks ago, I was scrolling through Pinterest, looking at all sorts of things, when this layout by Paige Evans appeared on my screen.
I'm sure I'v seen it before of course but in that moment I was so amazed by it, I loved it so much that I saved it on my phone and decided that I would scraplift it.
So here's my version of it...
Paige used a patterned paper with this ombre stripe pattern. I didn't want to use the same one and of course I wanted some pinks in my background. So I chose 5 different patterned papers, cut them into 2,4x12 strips and adhered them to my 12x12 sheet.
Then I took my white paint marker and splattered some white paint on the whole background.
To write my message/title, I used a lot of papers from the Whimsical collection. First, I cut out rectangles and placed them on the different strips to see in which order I wanted the colors and patters to go. Then I hand-cut the letters out of them and adhered them on the background.
For my pictures, I used a couple I took at Creativation a week before. There's one of me with Paige and the other one shows Missy, Enza, Paige and me. I had such a great time there!!! :)
I matted the photos on some scraps of patterned papers and placed them on the layout.
I used some of Paige's mini foam thickers from the Whimsical collection to write "Creativation 2019" beneath one of the pictures and then I used a whole lot of different embellishments to decorate the page. I took some puffy stickers, some chipboard and cardstock stickers and some ephemera pieces and placed them on or around the letters.
I really love how it turned out! :)
Thank you so much for being here!
