Happy Days puffy alphas

Happy Days | Best Ever Fun Day | Rachel Lowe

I love this photo, its not a visually stunning photo, no amazing scenery or backdrop but it is me with all my children after having a great day today.  I have used the Happy Days collection!

I decided to go with a white background as I knew I was going to used Flutterby paper which is a dark contrast. I cut a seven inch circle in the Flutterby paper. I then cut three hearts in three different sizes and lastly a double bow.

I then used the butterfly side of Flutterby and Little Blossom paper to create the top and bottom paper angled design.

I created an embellishment cluster in the bottom paper pieces using die cuts from the ephemera pack. As you can see I tucked them in and under.

I machine stitched the hearts down the middle to create a 3D heart. I next added my photo which I double matted and used the chipboard title stickers to create my title. I followed the flow of the circle paper and left enough space in between to add chipboard hearts.

I added  small floral cluster using the floral die cuts and finished this area off with a phrase sentiment from the accessory sticker sheet.

Lastly I added my paper bow (I used a cut file from the Silhouette Design store) and added a puffy heart to the centre.

This is a great design for multi photos if you wanted and you get to use many pattern pieces on one layout. My photo is double matted on paper from the A5 paper pad, which means you do not have to cut into 12×12 papers!

Thank you for stopping by and I hope this layout has inspired you in some way!

Happy Days Collection | Time to Travel | Rachel Lowe

Hello CVS crafty friends, tomorrow I leave for Europe and I am just a little excited. After Australia being locked down for over two years due to COVID this will be out first overseas trip! This inspired my layout, Time to Travel, and Italy is one of our countries we will be visiting. I have used the new and beautiful Happy Days collection.

I chose a 8.5×11 inch layout, as this is the size I always use for my travel layouts. I used Rainbow Bright (reverse side) as my base paper, the coloured tiny hearts perfect as a background paper. I next added two 1 inch strips of Feel Good paper, the yellow plaid adding a bright contrast.

I used a cut file from the Silhouette Design store which is perfect! I cut the title in a pink dot paper from the A5 Paper Pad. I used Definitive paper for the map marker icon. I used Sunshine Lollipops paper to cut the airplanes so they had varying colours showing which stops them looking flat.

I created two floral and embellishment clusters, one next to my photo and the other on the opposite side, I added foam tape to some of the elements to add dimension. I added puffy stickers to some of the flower centres and then hearts around the clusters.

You can see here I used the mini puffy alphabet stickers to add my destination Italy. Here I added floral die cuts over my photos which is a great way to make no people photos a little more eye catching.

I lastly created an embellishment cluster at the bottom right of my page using the fab camera from the die cut ephemera pack and finished off with some phrase sentiments from the accessory sticker sheet and a few more puffy stickers.

So there you have page 1 of 2023 Europe adventure scrapped! You certainly do not need a specific travel themed collection to create travel layouts.

Happy Days Together | Happy Days Collection | Rachel Lowe

I love all the different colours and patterns in the Happy Days collection! I just had to create a layout using the gorgeous Juicy Fruit paper and coordinating embellishments, these colours remind me of summer! I have scrapped two photos of me and my youngest which are some of my fav photos of us.

I used the two gingham papers from the A5 paper stack, and so I only had to use one of the 12×12 papers I cut the large circle in the middle so I could use the rest as a border against the white cardstock. My circles measure 7×7 inches, 4×4 inches and 3×3 inches.

I created my title and sub titles using the puffy alphas, using varying colours of the blues on the sheet. I next added the journal block ‘just peachy’ from the A5 paper stack with foam tape to the top circle.

 

I used this sticker from the Accessory Sticker Sheet so later I could go back and add my own hand writing and date. I don’t usually add a lot of journal spaces or add large titles but this circle design allowed for it to be easily added and look good at the same time.

I next added my photos which I matted using a yellow and aqua colour papers and adhered with foam tape. I created a small floral cluster to the left of the first photo using the Floral Ephemera. I next created another, larger embellishment cluster  the right of my second photo, adding the lemon and peach die cuts from the Die Cut Ephemera and more floral blooms. I layered them and some I used foam tape to add dimension.

To finish off my layout I add a phrase sentiment die cut to my photos, a yellow puffy heart and added a butterfly with phrase sticker, who can resist adding a butterfly somewhere on a layout right!!

This is a ‘busy’ page for me but I loved how this came together! Colour choices can make or break a busy layout, so keeping it to three colours allows you to add lots to your layout without it looking too overwhelming or busy.

 

As always thank you for stopping by and I hope this has inspired you in some way today!
