Hi crafty friends! Anett here ♥

I have two layouts to share today using the gorgeous Everyday Musings collection! I love the colors, and the design, so fresh and lovely!

When I saw the little watering can design in the Ephemera pack I knew I want to make this can in big, so I made a cut file from it and cut it from paper Present and Perfect. I backed it with white cardstock and stitched around the edges. I also made some pretty clouds from white cardstock and added some watercolors in the background with the packaging technique.

I needed lots of flowers to embellish the layout, so I fussy cut many flowers from paper Beautiful, and arranged them. I always take a photo with my phone, and this helps me to remember the design when gluing on everything. I only added glue to the center of the flowers, so I could bend up the petals and used foam adhesive to create dimension.

I used the puffy sticker - grow- as my title. You can see my daughter - well only her red dotty boots - on the photo. We were planting some onions in our garden. My children are such a big help in garden works.

For finishing touches, I drew some filler flowers with a black liner around the fussy cut flowers. I must admit, it was time-consuming to create this layout, but I love stitching or fussy cutting, while “watching” a good film.

For my second layout, I used my own cut file design. I used paper Time for Fun for a Valentines theme layout. My daughter and her doggie Mex love each other so much. It was love at first sight ;) I made some pretty splatters with gold watercolor. On Pinkfresh YouTube Channel you can watch the whole process! 

I moved my heart cut file design out of the center and glued on using some spray adhesive. I layered my photo, and embellished around it, with gold and red embellishments. I used elements from the Ephemera pack and also a journaling pocket. I put my journaling in it.

The gold puffy Accents were a great addition, I used “together” as my title. For finishing touches, I stitched around the big heart with golden thread, and also added some stitches to the golden frames on the edges of my layout. It is a simple, but lovely layout, easy to lift! 

I hope these layouts inspire you to get creative! Thanks so much for visiting today! I am really happy for your nice comments on YouTube!
