Paper Issues - Looking Up challenge

Hi everyone!

I have a layout to share today for the Paper Issues Looking Up challenge. I noticed there's a pretty cloudy sky in this picture I'm using so I wanted to create a cloudy sky on my page too. I used the Pinkfresh Studio Cloud Builder stencil with Distress Oxide Ink.

Behind the picture I used the Simple Stories Vintage Great Escape stencil first before I started layering the embellishments. I also used the Pinkfresh Studio Daisy Wreath layering stencil and matching die to create an extra embellishment and tucked it in behind the cluster.

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Paper Issues - In The Mood challenge

Hi everyone!

Today I'm sharing a layout that I made for the In The Mood challenge at Paper Issues, during a Facebook LIVE. If you missed it, you can watch the replay here.

I noticed a rainbow in the mood board for this month and decided to create one on my page. I used the Mirrored Triangles layering stencil from Pinkfresh Studio, along with Distress Oxides. My favorite rainbow colors are Abandoned Coral, Wild Honey, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Tumbled Glass and Shaded Lilac.

All papers and embellishments are from the Simple Stories Vintage Great Escape collection. This collection had a cute stencil with ferns and butterflies and I used those first with Distress Oxide Bundled Sage. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Paper Issues - Summer Crop, Hop Scotch

Hi everyone,

Today I'm sharing a layout for the Paper Issues Summer Crop Hop Scotch challenge. The story behind these photos and title is that my friend and I went hiking with our dogs. We wanted a picture of them looking over the wall, but they were not really cooperating. My friend decided to throw pieces of ham over the wall, but all that happened was them taking turns looking over the wall :-) These pics happened to turn out good enough for a funny story on a page anyway. 

I used the Simple Stories Great Escape collection and alpha from Elle's Studio.

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Paper Issues - Summer Crop, Sunshine in my Soul

We hope you're all enjoying the Paper Issues Summer Crop that is happening in the Paper Issues Friends & Fans Facebook group. We have tons of challenges and games going on all weekend and we love to see what you create!

My first layout is for the Sunshine in my Soul challenge and the free Sunny Rays and Waves cut file is perfect for it! I used it as a stencil and ink blended all the pieces with Distress Oxide Inks. Then I cut the file again out of patterned paper to cover it up. All papers and embellishments are from Simple Stories Vintage Coastal, the alpha is from Elle's Studio.

Thank you for stopping by and hope to see you around at the crop!
