'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! :)

Mini album for PINK PAISLEE
Saturday, February 9, 2019
Hi friends,
it's Lisa back on the blog today sharing a new mini album.
Before I start... You see this super pretty and colorful paper in the background? That's from the brand new Paige Evans collection called Horizon. You should definitely check out the new collection, it's the prettiest ever!!! When I made the mini album though, I didn't have the whole Horizon collection yet, so I used the beautiful Whimsical collection for this one.
To start I created a base to put my inserts in. I used cardboard to make it very sturdy and give it the shape of a classic album. Since I'm not that good at explaining the whole process of making this, I will add a few pictures. :)
First I cut the cardboard and adhered it to the patterned paper I chose for the cover and back. The paper I chose is one of my favorites from the whole collection. I loooove those cute colorful hearts on the white background.
I used very strong adhesive so that nothing would fall apart later.
Then I also adhered all the edges to the back of the cardboard. To hide the cardboard on the inside, I adhered another piece of paper over it.
Then I used my Crop-a-dile to pierce a few holes and attach some eyelets, which I wanted to use to thread my elastics into.
While attaching the elastics, I added some pearls and the super cute heart and butterfly charms from Paige's Turn the Page and Whimsical collections, to the elastics. Love how it turned out :)
Then I created a lot of pages for my album and inserted them like you would in a TN. For the inserts I didn't only use patterned paper. I also added some vellum, acetate, little pocket pages and some tissue paper.
The album is about my favorite layouts of 2018. Since the album is square, I printed my images a tiny bit smaller than the size of the album so that the would fit perfectly in it. I added them to most of the pages. The rest of the pages, I decorated using the beautiful embellishments of the collection, like ephemera, stickers, thickers, foam thickers, puffy stickers, paper clips, enamel shapes, sequins,...
This collection was perfect to scrap my favorite layouts, since it has a lot of crafty and art-like embellishments, like pencils, pens, brushes, palettes, paint tubes, glue bottles... I think those are the cutest and make the album perfect. :)
I really hope you like this kind of album and are inspired to create one for yourself! :)
Thank you for stopping by :)
'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!

Falala layout for PINK PAISLEE
Sunday, February 3, 2019
Hi scrappy friends,
today I'm sharing this fun wintery layout.
Believe it or not, this layout wasn't inspired by the picture... :) Haha... in fact, I made this layout and waited for two weeks to finish it, because I didn't have the right picture to go with it. Then, one day, we had this presentation with our kids from kindergarten and it snowed right that day! YAY! So me and my colleagues saw this snowman and thought it would make the perfect picture. It was only when I got home that I realized that it matched so good with the layout. The snow disappeared the day after and it didn't snow since, so I'd say, heaven knew exactly what I knew to complete this layout! :)
To start, I chose a wintery color palette. I went through all of the Whimsical, Turn the page and Pick-me-up papers and chose the ones I thought would match perfectly for this cool winter layout.
I cut squares that had approximately the same size and started placing them on my white 12x12 sheet of cardstock. When I had all my papers adhered, I die-cut snowflakes, hand-cut some other snowflakes and some letters to write "FaLaLa" and punched out stars. I then placed one item in every square paying attention to place them on a color that would make them stand out. Then I stitched in between and around all the lines, using different threads and stitching styles. What I really like is, that it doesn't look perfect and tidy at all, it makes the whole thing really cute. Finally, I splattered some white paint all over it.
I then created this fun snowman by paper-piecing him together using different patterned papers. I hand-stitched around the snowman with matching threads and cut him out leaving a white border. I placed him on my fun background and started embellishing.
I used the Whimsical chipboard stickers, puffy stickers, cardstock stickers and ephemera to place on the snowman an on the squares, trying to color-match them.
Then I stopped and waited two weeks to finally have the perfect picture... :)
I matted the picture on two patterned papers, used some more ephemera flowers around it and on the snowman and I was done! :)
I hope you like how it turned out :)
See you soon :)

Snowflake kisses layout for PINK PAISLEE
Wednesday, January 23, 2019
Hi dear friends,
it's Lisa back on the blog to share this layout with you.
I wanted to scrap some pictures I had taken last year and still had laying around in my scrap room. I took the pictures in the snow, so I wanted a snowy layout :)
To start, I chose two cutfiles from Paige Evans I found in the Silhouette store (281821 and 282821). It's a winter town scene and a snowflake star. I cut the scene out of white paper and backed it with different patternd papers from the Whimsical collection. For the stars, I cut them out of different patterned papers, then I adhered them on another piece of paper and I hand-cut them out, leaving a border, so that every star would have two colors.
I also used a pink glitter paper from my stash to back the parts of the houses covered in snow and to punch out a few little stars that I adhered to the middle of every star snowflake.
When I had all of my pieces, I placed them on my white 12x12 white cardstock in a way I liked and looked balanced to me.
I wanted the stars to peak out behind the clouds or cover some of them, so I hand-cut out some clouds and I stitched around them with white thread. I also placed them on my layout. When everything was how I wanted, I started adhering everything down, using liquid glue for some items and foam squares for others, creating dimension.
I backed my three little pictures on some pieces of patterned paper and adhered them on the layout too.
For my title, I looked for a cute snowflake quote on Pinterest. I found this one that says: "Snowflakes are kisses from heaven". I wrote the word "kisses" on one of my favorite patterned papers from the Whimsical collection and then I cut it out. I placed it on another piece of paper and cut it out again. For the rest of the quote, I used the mini foam thickers from the Whimsical collection.
I love how it turned out! :)
To finish the layout, I stitched some french knots on the page to create tiny snowflakes. I also embellished some more, using rub-ons, stickers and ephemera from the Wild Child collection.
Thank you so much for stopping by, see you next time :)
