Shine Bright

Hello from the heartland! It is sunny and I am feeling the summer vibes for the Paper Issues June Challenge: Crowning Achievement.  I wanted to use the June Scrapbook Kit: Pontoon and this paper just jumped out at me to document how they got to SHINE in this sweet moment during their dad's speech for the school staff!

Check out that Pretty Little Studio bold yellow paper in the June kit!

 It's from the Bohemian Dreams collection and they called it tie dye, but I will stick with sunburst!!

It looked like the perfect sun paper and the other kit papers from June and April worked as layers.

To add texture to the patterned paper, I machined stitched around the circle layers.

Do you have the tiny Pinkfresh alphas? They worked so well as a mini tone on tone title.

The May Swag Bag kit called Summer Camp provided all of the embellishments for the photo cluster. It had lots of perfect pieces for this sunny-color combination!

A close up of the crazy stitching and the picture.

  Not the best picture, but the memory sure is!!

 Look at his little flip flop feet! 

 I love his nervous look and how he's holding his brother's hand during the speech! So very sweet!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Super Sundae Player of the Game

Hello! Stacie here with the new June challenge, Super Sundae!

 Go check out more details on the Paper Issues blog.  

I couldn't wait to use the beautiful, new June kit: Pontoon.

The May swag bag for added ephemera and layers. 

I was inspired to create the look of sprinkles on top of the sundae!

The PI free cut file baseball heart is from the set called  Homerun Heart. 

I backed the cut file baseball with vellum for a cool opague layer. 

It created a nice title grouping in the solid "dish" part of the sundae.  My son loves the team huddle after each game to hear the coach talk and award the Dairy Queen sundae player of the game! 

We all play for ice cream!

The photo mat layers are from the June kit or the PI  Swag Bag from May. I love the pops of color that are stacked and lead your eye into the sprinkle toppings (polka dot).  The cool Bella Blvd. red Florence alpha for the title was such a fun pop of color on the layered title. 

I hope you are inspired to try a new June challenge including Super Sundae in the Paper Issues Friends and Fans Facebook group.  All June challenges are open until July 1st.
