OUR DOG

Hey there!  I have been dying to work with the new DOGGONE CUTE collection! As a mom of our loved fur-baby, Poochie, our 13 yr old Boston Terrier, nothing makes me happy than to document him as I do my other two children (though they are not as cute as my little guy!)





I wanted to showcase as many of the patterns and colors from the collection,  so I chose to use a metal die to cut a few hearts from the 6x6 paper pad.




The Here Boy paper was the perfect color and pattern for the layout's background.  I simply added the vellum paper from the Shadow Box kit before attaching all the hearts to across the page.




A bit of foam adhesive helps to add dimension to the hearts, and also help to add  just a few embellishments to the page.




I nestled the photos a top and bottom of the row of hearts, and added a few embellishments to the top left corner of each of the photos -I chose a similar woodgrain pattern to tie them all together-.




To finish the page, I added a piece of Chit Chat to the bottom right corner of the photos to serve as the title. Then added a piece of the icon sticker package at the bottom of the vellum.  I added my baby's name using the new Alphabet Soup Puffy Stickers.




A few Sprinkles complete my page!  I love how this turned out, and I am so excited to continue adding more memories using the new DOGGONE CUTE collection!

SPOILED - Doodlebug Design


Hey there!  I don't know about you, but the fur babies in our households are "spoiled".   My cat-nephew, "Chico", is probably one of the most loved and spoiled   ones out there.  So, I used the beautiful Pretty Kitty collection to create this layout:




I love playing with paper, so I sat with the 6x6 paper pad, and a pair of scissors to create this page, like  seriously that is all it took!




I started by cutting a heart from copy paper, then cut strips of patterned paper at about 1.5-3in wide and of different lengths.  I started gluing them to the heart starting from the bottom of the heart.   I set the paper strips at different places on the heart, so that they create that cascading effect on the heart.




Petite Prints are always my top choice for backgrounds. This  time, I added a letter size white cardstock page to the center of the layout, then glued the heart on top of it.   A soft layer of vellum adds just a bit of separation while framing the pictures of our Chico.





The Chit-Chat banners were the perfect addition to the paper layers.. I added a small paw print next to each of them.   In order to create some movement on the page, and also emphasize the layers, I added a few Sprinkles between the paper layers.



I followed the line of the embellishments to create the placement of my title at the right bottom of the heart.  





I love how this turned out, and  it was so much fun and relaxing to just play with all the patterns in the Pretty Kitty collection.  Be sure to check it out!

Pinkfresh Studio April 2023 Stamp, Die, Stencil, and Hot Foil Release

 



Hi there!

Welcome to PINKFRESH STUDIO APRIL 2023 STAMP, DIE, STENCIL, and HOT FOIL RELEASE blog hop.  Today, I am happy to join in the celebration of  the April release with lots of inspiration, and of course prizes!




I love this release, and mixed a few of the new goodies in this new  layout all about my Quinceanera niece.




I mixed the new Rosette suite, Wrap Around Elements Die, Sweet Day Suite, and Foiled Sentiments 6 along with Pinkfresh Studio inks, and a bit of Spring Vibes collection in this layout!





I used the new Rosette Stencil and Pinkfresh Studio inks to create my rainbow rosettes.  Then used the Rosette Die to cut them out.  I used foiled cardstock to cut the centers of the rosettes and this way bring a bit of shine to my page.




I set them at the top on  my 11x11in background using a bit of foam adhesive to add some dimension to the page.




Next, I used the new Wrap Around Elements Die to create a few "strings" that wrap around the bottom of the page.   This created the perfect spot for my photos.




To create my title work, I used the new Sweet Day Hot Foil Plate to create my cake element. I added the details using the coordinating Sweet Day Stencil and Sweet Day Stamp, then cut it using the Sweet Day die.    I added the small foiled bow (created with the Wrap Around Elements die and foiled cardstock).  To finish, I added one of the new Foiled Sentiments 6 pieces below the cake, and a few extra sparkle pieces around the page.




I just love how this turned out, and I am sure that you all are making a wish list filled with all these new goodies.  But, as Pinkfresh Studio is celebrating this new release, they are also hosting a generous giveaway!
