{PLS} Card || Mixing Papers

I'm up on the Pretty Little Studio blog today with a new card that I made using the Summer Vibes collection. I just love the bright colors in this collection. They make for the most cheerful cards!

Using Up Your Scraps

I'm still in love with my Beautiful Day collection. Here's another card I made with some scraps that I had on hand from another project I recently made. 

(Sorry I don't have time to write much.)

PLS: Twins Layout

Today I'm up on the Pretty Little Studio blog with this page:

I kinda went crazy with the patterned papers, diecuts, and stickers. Wait. That just means I had a total blast making this layout right?! Haha. I enjoyed making this page a lot. I think just looking at the pile of pretty products makes my heart flutter. ;)

Birthday Card: Clique Kits

Hello!

I'm sharing my last project that I made with the June Aquarelle kit from Clique Kits today. I have one other layout that I have shared on Instagram that I will share here sometime. This card was super fun to make-- I just love using lots of patterned paper. And if I haven't said this before, this June kit is AMAZING. So, so gorgeous. 

Everything except the small doily on this card is from the kit. I still have so much leftover, and I'm pretty excited about that. ;)

Project Life Process Video || Gossamer Blue

Have you ever checked out Gossamer Blue?? Well GB is my new obsession. Back in May (National Scrapbook Day), I won a 3-month kit subscription to any kit I wanted (they currently offer three different kits). I was SO excited to find out that I had actually won!! Gossamer Blue has recently went all-exclusive, meaning that everything in their kits are made just for them. No American Crafts products or anything. I love that. And man-- these kits are amazing. :) 

I may or may not have splurged and subbed to the scrapbook kit too (I had a gift card). I may cancel that one soon just because we are getting off the road soon and I probably don't need to be spending that money. We'll see! 

Here's a quick & simple page I made with the June Gossamer Blue kit.

I made a process video of this page too, so check that out HERE (I'd love it if you did)! 

Project Life: #life

Happy Monday! 

I still have some Project Life spreads to share that I made on National Scrapbook Day back in May, so here's one of them! 

I've been having some problems with depression (?) lately, so if you think of me, say a little prayer for me. A couple of weeks ago, it was SO intense. It's never been that bad. I made a last-minute road trip back to West Virginia for the camp meeting there (and it's been two months since we've been home!) and that was wonderful. I've missed being in church. I've missed people (specifically people I know). I am kind of an extrovert and so I love being with people. Of course there are those rare times I want to be alone, but overall I thrive on human interaction. I think it's all the adjustment of getting married and moving away from home and then being on the road all the time that was just weighing on me. 

Thankfully I'm doing better now. It's still something I face each day, but with the help of the Lord I can be victorious over those overwhelming feelings that want to swallow me up. 

SO! Back to scrappy things. :) 

That striped card is one of my favorites. The colors are just my FAVE! So I used that card to inspire the rest of the spread. I'm trying to use up some stash around here! :)

That arrow paper clip was something that was being used for the other side of the page, so I just used it to clip onto the mirror card on this side too (hope that makes sense).

Hope you have a fantabulous week! :)

Love My Life || Process Video using Beautiful Day

I'm really loving my Beautiful Day collection right now. It seems weird to say I love my own designs, but this collection is definitely my favorite one I've made so far!! 

I really wanted to back a negative diecut with some fringed paper. So that's just what I did! :) I had this design all planned out in my brain, and I have to say it doesn't flow quite like I wish I did, but it's alright. All projects can't be our favorites, can they? I do like this page, I just don't love it.
