Pinkfresh Studio Ink Pad Release Blog Hop

Welcome to the Pinkfresh Studio Ink Pad Release Blog Hop!  You should have arrived here from Ashlea Cornell's Blog.  If you are just now joining in the Hop on my Blog, you can visit the Pinkfresh Studio Blog to start at the beginning.  All along the Hop, you will find gorgeous inspiration from the Design Team, using the amazing Ink Pads that are new to Pinkfresh Studio!

I loved working with the Ink Pads, and I used the minis...they are SO CUTE!!  I started out by coordinating some of the ink pad colors that I wanted to use, with the Just a Little Lovely collection.  I decided on colors from these ink pad groups:  Rise & Shine, Soul of Province, Indian Summer, Fairy Dust and Starry Night.  They coordinated perfectly with the Around Here patterned paper from the collection.

I stamped out a frame and some floral pieces from the Pinkfresh Studio Abstract Builder stamp set and then I fussy cut them out, so I could place them around my photo.  The fussy cut pieces created a perfect cluster on the left hand side of the page.

I also used the same colors from my stamped images to add extra splatters on the layout.  I rubbed the Sweet Mustard, Regal Kiss and Slumber ink pads onto some clear packaging.  Then I wet the tip of my paintbrush and picked up some of the ink pad color, and splattered it onto the background paper.  I love that the extra splatters look like they were already part of the paper!

Pinkfresh Studio 5th Birthday Blog Hop Celebration

$25 GIFT CERTIFICATE WINNER:

MAUREEN BAUGI!!

Hello there!  Welcome to my Blog!  I am so excited to be a part of Pinkfresh Studio's 5th Birthday Blog Hop Celebration!!  I have been a fan of Pinkfresh Studio since the company began and have served on the Design Team twice!  The products are always fresh and original and I love using them for my projects.  I have two layouts to share with you today, and make sure you read the entire post for some awesome GIVEAWAY information!!

My first layout uses the fun Out & About collection.  It is perfect for any and all travel themed projects, and I LOVE the colors in this collection!!

 

I had so much fun putting this layout together!!  The patterned papers from the collection went great with the Open Letter Alpha Cut File from The Cut Shoppe store!

On my second layout, I used the Everyday Musings collection and I wanted to add dimension and texture!  Layered hearts add lots of dimension and machine stitching bring in some great texture.

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the heart shapes from several of the patterned papers in the Everyday Musings 6x6 paper pad.  Then I folded each one down the center, layered them together and machine stitched them.  I also drew a large heart shape on my background card stock and then placed the layered hearts along the shape.

I placed my photo and embellishments in the center of the heart shape.  I love the way it creates a frame around all of the elements on my layout!

There will be (3) Grand Prizes picked from the Pinkfresh blog: 

1. Liquid Watercolor full set

2. Set of our 3 current paper collectionseee

3. Entire April Essentials die release

Pinkfresh Studio A Case of the Blah's Blog Hop

Welcome to the Pinkfresh Studio A Case of the Blahs Blog Hop!  The Design Team is here to share some inspiration using one of the newest collections from PF Studio.  You should have arrived here from Beata Valint's Blog.  If you're just starting out, make sure you head over to the Pinkfresh Studio Blog for the beginning of the Hop.

As a scrapbooker, I have the tendency to only scrapbook the "pretty" photos from life...but we all know that life isn't always pretty.  A Case of the Blahs offers great products to use for those times in life that may not be unicorns and rainbows.  You still have beautiful products in the collection, but they give you the opportunity to document every facet of life, other than just those happy moments.

When I'm photographing the kids, I never know what kind of photos I'll end up with.  Sometimes they are cooperative and other times we just take what we can get.  HA!  I had an outtake photo from a tree photo shoot of our middle daughter, with her best pouty face and knew the papers and embellishments from A Case of the Blahs would be perfect with it.

I decided to create a vertical design on this layout.  I printed the photo a little larger than I normally do and kept it in Black & White.  I wanted to use a lot of the b&w embellishments from the collection to contrast with the pops of color from the background paper.  And I added in a few colorful embellishments to break up some of the b&w.

Now it's time to continue on the Hop, and you are off to visit Anna Kossakovskaya's Blog.  Here is the full Hop order, if you would like to use it for the rest of the Hop.

Pinkfresh Studio Playing Favorites Blog Hop

Welcome to the Pinkfresh Studio Playing Favorites Blog Hop!  You should have arrived here from the talented Bea Valint's Blog.  The Design Team has some fun inspiration for you, as we all share our favorite things!  I decided to focus on two favorite things...the Dream On collection from Pinkfresh Studio and Disney World (our favorite vacation spot)!  

The Dream On collection is great for everyday layouts!  I love all of the bright, happy colors, and they were a perfect match for our photo with Mickey and Minnie!  Since the collection itself, didn't I have a Disney theme, I decided to create my own Disney look with a large stitched Mickey outline shape.  I used Black embroidery floss for my stitching, so the image would stand out from the background paper.

Once I was finished with the stitching, I placed my photo in the center of the Mickey shape.  Then I started filling in all of the inside space with embellishments from the collection.  I mixed the ephemera pieces, leatherette pieces, chipboard pieces and puffy stickers, to create a lot of dimension and texture on the layout.

I hoped you enjoyed visiting my Blog along the way, and that you've found some new inspiration for using your favorite Pinkfresh Studio products!

To be eligible for one of 4 Gift Certificates, you must visit and comment at each Blog on the Hop.   Comments will close at 11:59PM CST on Friday, January 5th, 2018.  Random winners will be announced Monday, January 8th, 2018.

Pinkfresh Studio December Days Blog Hop

Hello, and welcome to the Pinkfresh Studio December Days Blog Hop!!  You should have arrived here from the talented, Anna Kossakovskaya's Blog.  Make sure you visit all of the Blogs along the Hop to check out amazing inspiration from the Design Team and for the chance to win a great prize pack from Pinkfresh Studio!

The Design Team will be showcasing the gorgeous December Days collection, along the Hop!  We recently had SNOW in southern Alabama...yes, real live snow!  I couldn't wait to document one of the photos, and I knew the December Days collection would work great with it!

The Christmas Magic patterned paper is great for giving you a head start on your layout!  I love that it already has the "Christmas Magic" sentiment and cute ornament printed on the paper.  I placed my photo near the ornament and under the words, which helped me with the placement of all of the other elements on the layout.

I kept everything else on the layout in a diagonal design.  Since I love to use cut files on my layouts, I cut some snowflakes to embellish the layout.  I used one of the papers from the 6x6 paper pad for the larger snowflake and some White card stock for the smaller ones.  I layered the large snowflake under my photo and scattered the smaller ones throughout the rest of the design.

I combined the Chipboard Alpha Stickers, Foiled Woodgrain Sticker and a die cut word for the title.  I love to mix different alphas and textures to add interest to my titles.  I finished the layout with a few ephemera pieces, wood buttons and puffy stickers!

To be entered in the GIVEAWAY, you MUST leave a comment on each Blog participating in the Hop.  One random winner will be selected from the comments left on the Blogs.   Comments will close at 11.59PM CST, on Friday, December 22, 2017.
