My Sunshine | Daydream Collection | By Raquel Bowman

Hi everyone, it’s Raquel here with you today and I am sharing my latest layout featuring the gorgeous Daydream collection.

Here is the layout that I created:


The subject of this layout is my gorgeous girl – this was a picture I had taken of her over the summer holidays when we were on a vacation to a coastal town. She enjoyed every minute of being away together as a family, the daily walks, trips to the beach and playing board or card games in the evening. I feel like that happiness really radiates from her in this photo.

A key element of this layout is the heart floral cut file that I used from the Cut to You store. I cut the file on a patterned paper and chose a complimenting patterned paper to back the florals within the cut file design. I wanted to have a pop of colour on this layout and this was created using the yellow patterned papers and ephemera pieces.

The title was using the die cut words – as soon as I saw the words ‘my’ and ‘sunshine’ I knew it would make the perfect title for this page. I adhered the title to the page using a small foam square adhesive; just to give the title that small lift and pop. The journaling is a quote that I found and love that I have created in my usual way- typewritten and cut into strips.

The embellishments are placed in a more vertical pattern on the page – however the majority are in three main clusters  one to the top left, one to the middle near the title and one to the bottom right.

Some of the embellishments – the tiny flowers for example are fussy cut from patterned papers within the collection. This allows me to have more control over the colours I use and include on the page also as I can choose ones that fit within my desired colour palette.


I decided to add one of the gorgeous fabric hearts to this page. I thought the deep read colour was perfect.

Thanks so much for stopping by the CVS blog today – I hope this layout has inspired you to get creating with your CVS stash.
Stay safe and take care,
