Little Loves | Day Dream | Kellie Moore

Welcome back CVS fans!

While waiting for the new “Happy Days” collection to arrive, I pulled out an old favourite of mine… Day Dream! Im such a big fan of using rainbows, I think they are such a fun and happy motif so I cut out a bunch from the patterned paper and added some handstitching to add texture and I love the result.

To start my page I used the woodgrain paper to create a base for where the majority of my elements were going to sit. I think it brings some nice warmth to the page with all the pastel colours.

Next I created a heart with the pink heart paper and again stitched around the edge to help it pop on the page. I placed the heart to the top left of my photo so that it stuck out from behind my photo and draws the eye in.

I wanted to add a bit more to the white cardstock as it felt a bit stark for my liking so I used a stencil and distress oxide to add some circles around my design… I think it adds a little something without overpowering the page.

From the ephemera pack I chose a scalloped circle diecut that I cut out and added half to the left of the page and the other half to the right…this helps create balance. I added one of the flair badges inside the circle with some gold thread underneath it, again creating that texture. On my page you will see a house to the right of my photo and a sun to the top left…these are both from the ephemera pack, as well as the row of rainbows under my photo.

Next, I added the rainbows around my page…how sweet are they?!

For my title I used words from the word die cuts….I wanted the word ‘loves’ not love, so I cut and ‘s’ off another word…make the products work for you!

Lastly I added some torn paper strips to the top left and bottom right of my page…. creating more a diagonal design.

I hope you found some inspiration today…and maybe even adding some hand stitching to your own pages.

Have a creative week!
