Cupcake Wrappers

My daughter and I love to work on projects together.  So recently we decided   to make some cupcakes and create cupcake wrappers to celebrate spring!  I chose papers from the Summer Pastel kit and tags from the Hopscotch kit available at Pretty Little Studio. Then I printed them on presentation paper matte and cut them out.  I cut out cupcake wrappers using my Silhouette Cameo and a free cupcake wrapper template I found on the internet.   I wrapped a cupcake wrapper around each cupcake and secured it with adhesive.  Then I placed the cupcakes on the cupcake holder and placed the little tags in the cupcakes.  I really enjoyed creating these and of course, eating them!

Sketch Challenge 45 At Pretty Little Studio!

Pretty Little Studio is having a sketch challenge based on the sketch pictured below!

One person will be randomly chosen to receive a $5 coupon.

Sketch Challenge ends on Monday, May 14 . Winner will be posted on Friday, May 18 on the Pretty Little Studio Blog!

For this sketch I just had to create a layout using the photos from our spring break trip to North Carolina!   We had a fantastic time!  It is so beautiful there!  I used a combination of Pretty Little Studio products such as Star Journaling Cards, Clowning Around Paper, Summer Pastel papers, and Summer Flashcards.  I also used a re-coloring technique in Photoshop Elements to alter the color of the party fun pattern paper from the Clowning Around papers to match my layout.  

Out of the Box Challenge at Pretty Little Studio!

When I saw the Out of the Box Challenge I new what photos and kit I wanted to use for my digital hybrid layout!   I chose the Summer Breeze digital collection and some photos of my daughter playing outside in the rain with her umbrella.  I created a clipping mask in the shape of an umbrella for my photos using Photoshop Elements 10.  I also created a border for my photos in the clipping mask as well.  Then I created some umbrella and ribbon shapes with the Summer Breeze and Hopscotch digital papers.  I also wanted some cloud shapes for my layout so I used the magnetic lasso tool and extracted the clouds from the clouds page in the Summer Breeze digital kit.  I also typed my title onto the cloud shapes before printing.  I printed my elements on Epson Premium Matte Presentation paper and cut them out.  I used pop dots to raise my elements from the page.  I also used some self-adhesive gems from Creative Café to place on my raindrops for a glittery effect.  I have also created 2 places for journaling as well.  Click on the link below to join in the challenge!

Photo Display Using the Tea Party Kit at Pretty Little Studio!

Recently, my mother-in-law gave me a photo display and I immediately decided to create a set of simple mini layouts to place in it.  The photos are of my daughter Kimberlee and her cousin Matthew.  They are very close in age and love to spend time together.

For the display, I resized and printed the photos on glossy photo paper and then printed a set of digital journaling cards from the Tea Party digital kit at Pretty Little Studio.  I resized the journaling cards to use for mini layouts.  I printed them on Epson Premium Matte Presentation paper and cut them out.  I attached ribbon and the titles I created in Photoshop Elements.   What a cute way to display your photos!  This could also work as a mini album display too!

Think Outside the Box Challenge

For the outside the box inspiration challenge 31at Pretty Little Studio, we had to use the photo below for our inspiration for in creating our project.  I used the photo strip idea to create a strip of photos in my digital layout.   The Tea Party digital kit was perfect for my “Just Because” party photos!  I also incorporated a sticker technique to give my title a white border like the photos. 

I have also created 2 quick pages based on the layout above.  One quick page includes the title and the other doesn't include the title.  You can find the download links for these pages below:

Birthday Banner

I just love the bright colors of the Clowning Around digital kit at Pretty Little Studio!  It was perfect for my birthday banner!

I created a set of cards using the background papers from the Clowning Around digital kit. I also created aset of journaling circles to use as embellishments. Iprinted the cards and the journaling circles on Epson Premium Presentation Paper Matte. 

The next step was to cut out the pieces and assemble them. I used Thickers black letter stickers,Happy  Birthday, twine, red ribbon, and black ink to ink the edges of the journaling circles.

                                       

       

       

 I just love how this turned out and can’t wait to use it  for my daughter’s 9th birthday!

I am so excited to share my first project with you that I created for Pretty Little Studio! I created a digital layout and a quick page based on the sketch challenge below.
