Happy Days | Happy Days Collection | Melissa Vining

Hi everyone, it’s Melissa here and I’m so excited to be back sharing the first layout that I’ve created with the brand new Happy Days collection!! This collection arrived last week, in perfect timing for my layout today! Yay!!  I don’t know about you but I always struggle with a new collection because I don’t want to cut into anything.  I decided to create my ‘go-to’ design which is to feature a large piece of beautiful patterned paper, or in this instance two!

I just had to feature ‘Definitive’ and ‘Little Blossom’.  Both sides of all the papers are stunning, and I’d highly recommend purchasing at least two pieces of all the papers! I tore the edge of Little Blossom and glued it onto Definitive.  I machine stitched the edge for texture.

The photo is a cute selfie of two of my daughters that my oldest daughter took and I discovered on my phone.  Love it when that happens!  For my title I just had to use the name of the collection from the ‘Die Cut Titles’!  So perfect!

I cut apart one of the gorgeous images from the ‘Specialty Paper’, and I just love the gold foiling.  I tucked it slightly under my photo and then embellished around with ‘Die Cut Floral Ephemera’, ‘Die Cut Ephemera’, and one of the stunning ‘Puffy Hearts’.

You can watch my process video below.

I hope you enjoyed my first layout created with this stunning collection using my go-to design!
