Storyteller | Happy | Rachel Lowe

Hello CVS friends! I wish I would journal more on my layouts, using my own handwriting but I struggle and therefore using other means to journal. Today I am sharing a rainbow fun layout when I have used Storyteller collection and the accessory stickers to add my journalling.

This double rainbow cut file is from the Silhouette Design store.

I have used the curve of the rainbow cut file to add my accessory stickers/journalling. I chose my phrases and then cut them as I needed to fit the curve. I know this is cheating but it does look good!!! I used Oh My Heart paper, using both sides to create my rainbow. You will see that I have used foam tape on some of the rainbow pieces so it didn’t look ‘flat’. Once I had done this I added accessory stickers on thee top curve to create my journalling. I chose a patterned background paper using Little Love paper.

Here I added the Storyteller puffy sticker hearts adding them to the hearts on the paper pieces of the rainbow. On the top rainbow I added a butterfly Wood Epoxy Button. Adding these embellishments prevents your layout looking ‘flat’ and adds texture.

I used Ditsy Daisy paper for my title HAPPY. I also added some of the letters with foam tape. I used the smaller pattern of this paper from the A5 paper pad which is perfect when you are creating smaller elements.

I created a small floral embellishment cluster using the floral die cut ephemera pack, just because I like flowers really but keeping in mind this layout is ‘busy’ in patterns and colours so not wanting to over do it.

I matted my 4×4 inch photo and added to the lower right of my page with foam tape, tucking under a banner tab to the top and then a phrase sentiment from the die cut ephemera under my photoA black and white photo against these colours/patterns really pops.

This is a simple but fun layout to create. I love the font of the accessory sticker words/phrases and they really do work well on this layout as my storytelling of my photo.

As always thank you for stopping by today and look forward to sharing my next layout with you in September.
