Hello everyone!!
I am totally loving the Pretty Little Studio products that I bought a few weeks ago! They have great color quality as well as great material quality which is a great combination when working with paper crafting supplies! I primarily purchased the Ain't Life Grand collection - it's just so bright and colorful, I absolutely LOVE it! I recommend at least taking a look at their website and what they have to offer if you haven't ever bought anything from them! Their site is prettylittlestudio.com
I pulled out some photos of a trip we took to the zoo in North Carolina to meet my sister and nephew one day back in November. The photos are a little more fall-like colors, but I pulled out a lot of brighter colors from the products I'm using to contrast against the photo colors. I love how it turned out! A little bit of an unconventional color combination for me, but I really like the ending effect.
This is not part of my 2018 Kit Review Series, but if you are looking for the Kit Review Resource Guide where I've got all the information from all the kits I've reviewed in the past, as well as this new one. Here is the link: designbymelody.wordpress.com/resources-and-tools
