Love These Days | These Days Collection | Melissa Vining

Hi everyone, its Melissa here and I’m back today with another layout that I created with the beautiful These Days collection.  This collection is still on sale over in the shop, so make sure you head on over and purchase it before its gone!  I was in the mood for creating with circles and I created all of these circles using my Cricut Design Space.  If you don’t have an electronic die cutting machine you could use a manual die cutting machine, a circle cutter or you could trace around circular items.

This photo is of my eldest daughter in my husband’s relatives pool in January during our summer.  The back ground paper is Daybreak and is so beautiful with all of the mixed media-look background. The majority of patterned paper circles were cut from the A5 Paper Stack, and I distressed all of the edges.  I stuck some flat to the paper, and placed others on dimensional foam for interest.

I embellished the circles with Accessory Stickers, Clear Stickers, Puffy Stickers and Wood Epoxy Buttons.  I used several circular embellishments to add to the design. The Die Cut Ephemera banner was so cute too!

For my title I used the Clear Sticker words which look lovely because they are subtle and look so good on top of the patterned paper.

Have an awesome week
