Just Chillin | Sunkissed collection | Tarrah McLean
Hi Cocoa Vanilla friends!
It’s Tarrah back with you and today I have a new layout to share featuring the gorgeous Sunkissed collection! This collection is so bright and happy! There are lots of cute ice cream icons in this collection and I knew I had the perfect photos to scrap of my eldest son when he was 5 years old eating an enormous ice cream!
My layout was definitely inspired by those ice cream icons, I knew I wanted to use the pocket card as part of the design. I began by taking a piece of the orange ombre paper from the A5 paper stack and building most of the design on top of this paper. As I used a white cardstock background, I needed a bright colour to help give all the elements a lift. I also added some strips of the Sunny Days 12′ x 12′ paper to the top and bottom of the layout.
As my photos are small, I was able to add 3 to the page, I used craft foam underneath the photos to pop them up off the page. I just love the expressions on his face eating the ice cream! To add some interest, I took some more of the papers from the A5 paper stack and punched the edges with a scallop border punch, I then tucked these into the top and bottom and the left edge of the orange ombre A5 paper. I pulled lots of pieces from the die-cut ephemera pack including the banner, the large ice cream die-cut, a rainbow, a couple of pennant banners and some hearts. I added these around my photos and to help with the design of the layout.
I also had to add a foam gold glitter title and some hearts in the same too. I love how the gold gives the layout some extra oomph! To embellish further, I created some small clusters of embellishments around the page adding some clear stickers, a wood epoxy button, puffy stickers and accessory stickers too! I pretty much added one of everything to the page lol! I typed some journalling onto some scrap pieces of cardstock and then cut them into strips. I am really liking journalling strips right now!
Thank you so much for stopping by the Cocoa Vanilla blog today! I hope you enjoyed my layout as much as I enjoyed creating it?!
