Schools Out | Sunkissed Collection | Michelle Stokes

Hey Hey! It’s Michelle back here today with a new layout share featuring the sweet Sunkissed Collection. I am absolutely obsessed with the colours of this collection, and as usual I’ve used more of those beautiful florals. The entire layout came together pretty quickly as I was chasing daylight to get it done, so theres no messy mixed media on this creation.

I went back in time to the end of last year with some last day of school photo documenting. Leila was so very happy to be done with last year, but more because of the endless amounts of screen time she thought would be happening HAHA.

I’ve used the Pocket Cards pack in place of pattern paper across the top of the layout. The 3x4inch size is not only perfect for pocket pages but for backing photos and using for title pieces on larger layouts too.

I printed my photos out as 3×4 size then cut the edges down slightly before distressing them with an old nail file to give them a white edge. I added ephemera bits to both photos before ‘stringing’ them across the page with the other cards.

I added white alpha stickers to the card on the right to spell out most of the title and finished it off with a gold glitter foam word, my most favourite embellishment within this collection. I sewed through the letter stickers to ensure they stayed put in years to come. Theres a sticker tag, ephemera bits and some florals tucked into the top to fill in some white space.

Under the title I created my main floral cluster using fussy cut flowers from the Growing Wild paper, layered with different forms of adhesive for dimension and finished with a wood button.

Along the bottom of the layout I added a strip of pretty hearts from the Feelin Fine paper then machine stitched through it. I created another mini cluster using more florals, wood button, ephemera pieces and a label from the Fun in the Sun cut apart paper. Lastly I added my usual sprinkling of gold colour shine, which I might cry about when its all gone..

Well friends thats all from me today. Thanks so very much for stopping by to see my newest creation. I’m really enjoying creating with the Sunkissed collection and loving everything your all sharing with us across social media.

Until next time, Happy Scrapping!
