Fun in the Sun | Sunkissed Collection | Raquel Bowman

Hey everyone, it’s Raquel here today sharing a new layout with you using the latest and gorgeous Sunkissed collection. Today’s layout is a layout I created for fun featuring some holiday memories using this bright and fun summer themed collection.

Here is the layout that I created to share with you today:

This layout is documenting a moment with our family when we have been away over summer. This layout is a flashback to 2018, I cannot believe how time flies and how quick our kids grow up!

You can see by these pictures that Mumma scrapbooker was trying to get those picture perfect photos – this is a foreign thing to these kiddies. I think they have been accustomed to posing for photos that on this specific day – this Mumma just gets what she gets, even if it wasn’t the perfectly posed photo . I printed three 3×4 photos for this layout and quickly realised that they would be too large for this layout. So I used a circular die I had in my stash to cut the three photos into circles.

The base of this layout was inspired by a Daffodil cut file from Cut  to You. I used various patterned papers in the paper pad to back the cut file.

The title of this layout ‘Fun in the Sun’ was created from the Glitter foam titles pack. To help balance the gold in the title I used some of the hearts amongst the layout also.

To build more detail to the cut files I added extra floral ephemera pieces, in particular I used leaves and the bud stems. To the top right of the page I added some short typewritten journaling that simple documented the when and where of the layout.

I was able to embellish in three main clusters on the page allowing the layout to still have balance. For the smaller details I used the puffy stickers and small ephemera hearts.

The white card stock base of the layout was framed with the blue clouds and machine stitched. I was able to add depth and dimension using foam adhesive to the cut files, florals and photos.

I hope this layout has inspired you today. Thanks for stopping by the blog to check it out.
