Hello Sweet Girl | Happy Days | Kellie Moore

Welcome back to the Cocoa Vanilla blog everyone, it’s Kel here today to share my next layout using the Happy Days collection.

I decided I wanted to limit my colour choices to the magenta, yellow and aqua colours in the collection and this is what I came up with… I just LOVE this colour palette..

To start my page, I traced some circles in different sizes onto my background using a black permanent marker, then coloured them in using some watercolour. Next, I added some stamping in circular shapes in corresponding colours to help fill in my background.

To keep with the circular elements of my background, I cut my photo into a circle and backed it onto another circle using the Feel Good paper. I also cut some circles out of the Feel Good, Little Blossom and Flutterby papers to help fill out the background.

Next, I worked on my title. I used the ‘Hello’ banner flag from the Ephemera pack and some of the Chipboard Title Stickers. The word ‘girl’ didnt come as a word in the pack so I just made my own word with the letters on offer.

Next came the fun part of embellishing! On the right side of my photo I used the two pinwheels from the Ephemera Pack and also the sun which I layered under the ‘Hello’ flag.

To the left of my photo I used some of the florals that I cut from the ‘Lush Blooms’ paper. I also used some of the tiny florals that I cut from the A5 Paper Stack to scatter across my page. I also created a small cluster of the florals to the right side of my page.

I love the phrase stickers found on the Accessory Sticker Sheet and I used some of them under my photo and on the right side of my page.

I still felt my page need more so I used some of the butterflies from the Ephemera pack and some which I cut from the Flutterby paper..one next to my florals on the left, and a few ‘flying’ up the right side. I love to use dimensional foam under these to help them pop off the page.

Lastly, I used some of the Puffy Stickers to finish off any gaps, and stamped some black hearts to co-ordinate with my black and white photo and the black in the title…this helps make the colours on the page stand out.

Thanks for stopping  by today and you feel inspired.

Stay Scrappy
