{crafty} Christmas Wishes Blog Hop

Hello there! I'm blog hopping with Pinkfresh Studio today, showcasing the FABULOUS Christmas Wishes collection! You should have come here from Aimee's blog. If not, head on over to the Pinkfresh Studio blog to start from the beginning!

I've been wanting to do December Daily for years now but never quite had my act together to get it done. Or even start it. Well this year I have vowed to conquer it!! Christmas wishes is the perfect collection to use as a base for my album.

I can't even begin to pick a favorite item from the collection, but the puffy stickers and alphas are a good place to start. I mean, seriously!? Cuteness!

Speaking of cute...the deer. the squirrel. All the wintry animals. They are whimsy perfected.

I LOVE label stickers. I use the heck out of them. The label die cuts and gold foil stickers say pretty much everything you would ever want to say in a December Daily album!

Have I gushed enough?? Seriously. I love this collection that much. I have many more pages to go in my album but I think I'm off to a good start!

Cassandra is your next stop in the hop! Be sure to comment along the way. One winner will be chosen from all the comments to win a prize package from Pinkfresh Studio worth $150!! Awesome, right?

And I want to give a HUGE shout out and special thanks to Kinnari at Pinkfresh Studio! She is amazing to work with, and sadly this is my last month on her fabulous Design Team. It's been so much fun!

{crafty} Favorite Layouts this Year

Hello there! It's certainly been a light posting year hasn't it? Life is funny that way! While I haven't gotten around to posting too much, I HAVE gotten the chance to create. I thought I'd take the time to pull together some of my favorites. 

So, that's them! I wish I could say I created hundreds of layouts this year, but well that just didn't happen. And won't any time soon. I am so happy with what I have created though and hope to push it even further next year. I may even be attempting PL. Again. We'll see how that goes!

Thanks for looking!

{crafty} Pretty Little Pinkfresh

Hello there! 

Pinkfresh Studio is so excited to join with Pretty Little Studio today to inspire you with some cute creations. You should have come directly from the Pretty Little Studio blog. If not, be sure to head back over there!

It has been so fun to pair these two companies together! While Pinkfresh is normally known for bright and unique items, Pretty Little Studio is known for their fun vintage inspired products!They have definitely combined to create some awesome projects!

For my first layout I new I wanted to use several of the Chrysanthemum Mini Tags from PLS. I layered them on my page before adding a layer of gesso and gelatos. As soon as I decided to orient them at the top of the page I knew I wanted to to add lots of string and falling feathers. I just love how the soft colors and vintage number die cut pairs so nicely with bold color and graphic embellishments from Pinkfresh. 

 Supplies used: Wood Drop Stickers Chevron Brights, Enamel Label Frames Yellow/Blue/Grey, Studio Puffs Gold Scallop Border. Nature Book die cut numbers, Bird Feather stickers, Chrysanthemum Mini Tags, Watercolor Summer Word stickers

My second layout is more linear and structured. I find I tend to go that direction when I want several photos on a layout. Since I have several busy photos I resisted the urge to layer the embellishments and really just tried to let them shine on their own. 

Supplies used: Wood Drop Stickers Chevron Brights, Foil Printed Alphas Mint/Gold, Vacation Chips Wood Veneer, Anya Alpha stamp, Limited Edition kit Studio Puffs. Watercolor Summer Word stickers, Birds Nest Bunting Flags, Peony Paper Ribbons, Wild Berries Paper Ribbons, Clematis tabs, Gold Circle Vellum

Thanks so much for looking today! Your next stop is Agnieszka Piskorz, head on over to her blog to see how she paired these two companies together!  Visit each blog in the hop and comment on each to enter a giveaway including the Pinkfresh Studio blog. One winner will be chosen for each day and winners will receive 30.00 worth of stuff from Pinkfresh Studio and 30.00 GC from Pretty Little Studio. This is going to be 2 days of blog hoping fun. Winners will be announced on 9/15. Good luck!
