Project Friday with Kristine and Becky

Hello MLS fans. It's project Friday and time for another fun project idea from our talented design team. Today Kristine and Becky are teaming up on the blog to bring you today's inspiration using our Platyime and Pretty Little Things collections.

Here's a close up of this beautiful project Kristine created.

Paper Flower Arrangement

Products used:
Playtime patterned paper: Catch Me if You Can
Playtime patterned paper: Day Dream
Playtime patterned paper: Hide n Seek
Playtime patterned paper: Sidewalk Chalk
Playtime patterned paper: Sunny Side Up
buttons
Cricut machine with Mother's Day Bouquet cartridge
fabric paint
flower pot
ribbon
wooden dowel rods

Kris's Tips: I had so much fun creating this flower arrangement using the beautiful B-sides of the Playtime papers. Each of the 12 flowers has 3 layers of paper cut at 3.25 inches, 2.75 inches, and 1 inch that are centered with a button and embellished with dots of white fabric paint. I used my hot glue gun to adhere them to the dowel rods. I inserted the rods into a piece of floral foam that I had cut down in size to fit snugly into the flower pot. I covered the floral foam with "grass" which I made by running a couple sheets of the green paper through my paper shredder and then folding each shredded piece back and forth. Some green, brown, and white ribbons finished the arrangement off. I can't wait to display this in my daughter's bedroom!

Here's a layout from Kristine too!

Playtime 3D Roll-Up Flowers
Playtime cardstock stickers

Kristines Tips: I used several of the B-sides of this collection's patterned papers to create a soft, feminine layout of my daughter being held by my goddaughter. I added border punched white cardstock and I hand-stitched around the edge of the page with white floss to compliment the bright white highlights in the photo.

Now some inspiration from Becky

"I Love You a Bunch"

Supplies:

Pretty Little Things collection: Seed Packets, cardstock stickers

Mini Alphabet Stickers: Seaside

Other: foam adhesive, Queen and Company pearls.

Becky's Notes: add pearls or other bling to flower centers to add extra dimension to your project.

"Thinking of You" card

Supplies:

Pretty Little Things collection: Little Miss Sunshine, Cardstock Stickers

Other: twine, glossy accents, Ranger Stickles glitter glue, rub-on by Pebbles Inc.

Becky's Notes: I wanted this card to be more simple in design so I cut out the cute little ladybug and used one of the cardstock stickers as the focal point of the card. I then added bits of glitter glue for more dimension and to add some spark to the card.

Pretty Little Things Notebooks

Supplies:

Pretty Little Things collection: Just Add Water, Little Miss Sunshine, Lovely Lady, Grown With Love, All Things Beautiful, Seed Packets, 3-D Roll-up Flowers.

Mini Alphabet Stickers: white, peppermint stick

Glitter Alphas: Snowflakes, Walnut

Becky's Notes: I have three little girls who love to write and draw and their papers often are found scattered around the house. For my project this month I decided to cover a few composition notebooks for my girls so that they would have their own personalized books to keep their art projects together in one place.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a merry creative weekend!
