Cousins & best friends | Daydream Collection | Anna Blades
Hi CVS friends! Anna here with you today, sharing a new layout with the gorgeous ‘Daydream’ collection. For this page, I chose to document a photo of my daughters with my sweet niece from this summer. These three girls always have a great time when they’re together. You just have to see their faces.
I started fussy cutting this beautiful floral wreath from the Daisy Days paper. I have to say that I’m not a fussy cutting lover, but I wanted to give this wreath some dimension, so I raised it with foam and placed it on top of the B side of the Sweet Serenity paper. (I’m a B side lover)
As my title and focal point of my layout, I used this cut file from Cut to You. It’s just perfect for my photo. I backed it with papers from the 6×8 Paper Stack because they have a smaller scale and work better for this. All the colors match perfectly. I put it a little crooked on the left side of the page, so this way, I had the spot for my picture on the right side.
Instead of backing the hearts of the cut file too, I decided to place three of the puffy hearts on top of them. I love their texture. They are the cutest. I also raised them with foam dots. I’ve said it many times, but I think dimension is so important in layouts.
I layered my photo with some pieces of the 6×8 Paper Stack, attached a label from the Accessory stickers on it, and another one in the lower part that says “oh happy day”.
Around the wreath, I added some die cuts from the Die Cut Ephemera pack: flowers, butterflies, hearts, and a cute rainbow. This gives more dynamism to the page. I could use these flowers on every layout because they are just perfect for embellishing anything.
Finally, I feel that it needed something more, so I trimmed half an inch of two sides and framed the page with the B side of the Stepping Stones paper. This adds a touch of color and helps to enhance the page.
Thank you so much for joining me today. I love how it turned out, and I hope you do too. See you soon with more inspiration!
