The Good Life | Daydream collection | Rachel Lowe

Hello CVS friends Rachel here! Haven’t the DT layouts using the stunning new collection Daydream been just gorgeous! I had to use all my restraint not to use the rainbow paper this time around, but I promise I will end up over using it as it is my absolute fav!

So here is my first layout using Daydream titled The Good Life, which is documenting our sea change to a coastal regional town (which was the best decision ever!)

I chose a camper cut file as my new home is all about the sea and visitors in camper vans all summer long. I used Garden Variety  and Daisy Days papers to create the body of the camper van. I used Sun Showers paper and the wood grain paper from the 6×8 inch paper pad to create chassis and wheel. I then machine stitched each segment. I added the curtain and door with foam tape to create height.  I had to use the gold puffy heart which went perfectly in the centre of the wheel.

I created a floral cluster using the die cut flowers from the Ephemera pack, this was to add a feature that softened the layout. I layered them and used foam tape to adhere some of them. I added some glossy accents to the flowers, cut file leaves in white and finished off with a moth/butterfly.

My photo is of our jetty at sunset which is stunning. I framed it with a die cut frame and added to my layout with foam tape. I tucked the sun die cut under the frame and finished off adding one of the gorgeous flairs. I used a scallop paper strip to form my ‘sky’ and a strip from the Garden Variety paper to create my ‘grass’. This links everything together.

I added journalling under the camper in the form of a phrase sentiment from the die cut pack and some that I typed.

This would make a great travel layout and of course you could add more photos!
