PSA Essentials and Nikki Sivils Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the PSA Essentials & Nikki Sivils blog hop! If you're coming by via Jamie Cripps you're on the right track. If not make sure you start at the beginning and check Kim Moreno so you don't miss any amazing projects.

I'm featuring the Exit Here paper collection from Nikki Sivils.

I created a mini vacation book. I started by creating the pages first and created the spine last. In between the designed pages...I have blank pages (combination of solid and patterned paper) for notes to fill for all those fun vacation memories. I used my Silhouette SD to cut majority of my shapes from the patterned paper.

 

I added the corresponding embellishments from the collection and added a zig zag stitch to add some texture to my layout. 

I stamped "family" on the cover of the mini book using PSA Essentials Peel and Stick Archive stamp set. 

The first designed page features a space holder for a favorite photo. I also added a stamped circle tag. Used the PSA Essentials Peel and Stick U.B.U Beach Bucket stamp set.

The pre-cut shapes and sentiments came so handy.

Here's the last designed page. This page screams F-U-N. The Beach Bucket stamp set blends so well with this project too!

I fastened the book with a rectangular spine, punched through the pages and added my decorative fabric buttons to secure the book.

Hope you enjoyed this project. Your last stop is PSA Essentials . Thanks again for stopping by and don't forget to follow PSA Essentials and Nikki Sivils blogs. Don't forget to comment on each blog and good luck in the giveaways!
