YOU/TRINITY STAMPS
Good morning, friends! Nicole here with a pretty Spring layout I created using the Sketchy Florals Stamps and Dies along with the Large Branch Die, Curtain Call Dies and First Bloom 4x6 Stamps and dies. I love mixing and matching stamps and metal dies to create beautiful layouts. 
To begin, I stamped the Sketchy Florals stamp set onto white cardstock and colored them in using alcohol markers, being careful not to smear the blank ink. I used a black waterproof ink so that the images did not look blurry once the flowers were colored. After the images were colored, I used the Sketchy Florals Die to cut the flowers out.
I used the Simply Sentiment You stamps and dies to create a fun title directly on the photo to fill in the white space. Isn't the font just lovely? I love it so much. 
I used the Large Branch Die as an accent for the flowers. I cut two branches from white cardstock to place on both sides of the cluster of flowers. 
I used the Curtain Call Coordinating Dies to create a fun border across the top of the layout. Love how clean and simple this layout is...but also so pretty! What do you think?

RAYS FOR DAYS/PERFECT PAINTS
Hello friends! I'm excited to share a fun mixed media page I created using Polishing Plaster through a stencil. I'm about to start my Outer Banks album and wanted to get my mixed media divider page completed! Plus...I was in the mood to just play with mixed media.
This was pretty simple to make and I just love how the waves turned out! It's so pretty... I used foam squares and rub-ons from Simple Stories' Just Beachy collection to embellish the page once the Polishing Plaster was completely dry.
When I'm working with a variety of Polishing Plaster, I start with the lightest color and work my way up to the darker colors. I used the Jack Frost Polishing Plaster for the first layer and then I used the palette knife to spread the MexicanTurquoise all over, being careful to let some of the Jack Frost show through. Next, I added a little bit of the Organic Sugar to lighten up the colors and I absolutely LOVE how this turned out. It's so pretty!!
I waited for the Polishing Plaster to dry before embellishing the page with foam stickers, gems and rub-ons.
I hope I inspired you today! Thank you so much for visiting today.

BOOK STACK/PRETTY LITTLE STUDIO
Hello friends!! I am so excited to finally receive the Good Vibrations collection. It's super cute and I just love it so much. I'm an avid reader so naturally...I had to have it!
The color scheme of this collection is so beautiful. I'm totally in love with all of the beautiful rainbow colors and fun elements.
I had to find a way to use the cute little girl reading her book. Isn't she lovely? I cut the flower die cuts in half to spread them out on the layout.
I yellow couch is so eye catching! It was a nice addition to the layout. It filled in the white space at the bottom, nicely.
I popped the "read more books" die cut up using a few foam squares to add dimension to the layout.
I tucked the other half of the flower behind the "book stack" die cut. It's perfect...It helped hide some of the un-wanted items to show from the photo.
What do you love the most from the Good Vibrations collection? If you said "all of it", I'm with you! Thank you so much for visiting today!
Nicole
