Happy Days Together | Happy Days Collection | Rachel Lowe

I love all the different colours and patterns in the Happy Days collection! I just had to create a layout using the gorgeous Juicy Fruit paper and coordinating embellishments, these colours remind me of summer! I have scrapped two photos of me and my youngest which are some of my fav photos of us.

I used the two gingham papers from the A5 paper stack, and so I only had to use one of the 12×12 papers I cut the large circle in the middle so I could use the rest as a border against the white cardstock. My circles measure 7×7 inches, 4×4 inches and 3×3 inches.

I created my title and sub titles using the puffy alphas, using varying colours of the blues on the sheet. I next added the journal block ‘just peachy’ from the A5 paper stack with foam tape to the top circle.

 

I used this sticker from the Accessory Sticker Sheet so later I could go back and add my own hand writing and date. I don’t usually add a lot of journal spaces or add large titles but this circle design allowed for it to be easily added and look good at the same time.

I next added my photos which I matted using a yellow and aqua colour papers and adhered with foam tape. I created a small floral cluster to the left of the first photo using the Floral Ephemera. I next created another, larger embellishment cluster  the right of my second photo, adding the lemon and peach die cuts from the Die Cut Ephemera and more floral blooms. I layered them and some I used foam tape to add dimension.

To finish off my layout I add a phrase sentiment die cut to my photos, a yellow puffy heart and added a butterfly with phrase sticker, who can resist adding a butterfly somewhere on a layout right!!

This is a ‘busy’ page for me but I loved how this came together! Colour choices can make or break a busy layout, so keeping it to three colours allows you to add lots to your layout without it looking too overwhelming or busy.

 

As always thank you for stopping by and I hope this has inspired you in some way today!
