You are the best | Happiness Collection | Michelle Stokes

Hello Hello! It’s Michelle here today with a new layout share as part of our current ‘Scrap-lift the followers’ theme. This was such a fun theme to play along with, but narrowing down the choices on who to lift was a tough one! All our followers had such amazing layouts created for the interNational Scrapbooking Day/Weekend, but I finally narrowed it down to one. Here’s what I created using the Happiness collection

The layout I chose was one of a few that had caught my eye from the time it was loaded into the ISD Challenge group. The triangular elements were something that I really wanted to try on a layout and what better time than a scrap-lift!

This super sweet creation was made by Belinda Griffin for Gwen’s Grab 5 challenge using some of her favourite CVS papers.

I drew inspiration from multiple elements on Belinda’s layout including using 2 cute kids in a photo. I wanted to step back in time and scrap a photo of Leila and my cute little nephew from a couple years ago along with a fun title based on a catchphrase their Grandad tells them every time he sees them – ‘You’re the best’

I used recreated the triangle shapes top and bottom of the layout using most of my favourite colours and patterns from the Happiness collection and sewed them all down randomly and roughed up other edges. The papers used are SPRINKLES, GOOD VIBES, FRAME OF MIND and MEADOW.

I adhered the photo to a piece of BRIGHT & BEAUTIFUL and adhered it left of centre to leave space for the title that I’ve made using DIE CUT TITLES and some handwriting.

I fussy cut some of the floral clusters from the SO FRESH wreath paper, one of my most used papers recently, and adhered them diagonally across from each other using foam tape for a little pop of dimension.

I also added a couple of butterflies, mini hearts and phrases from the ACCESSORY STICKER SHEET to finish it all off.

Lastly I added a sprinkling of gold ink and called it done. I really enjoyed this Scrap-lift theme, and hope you like what I’ve made based on Belinda’s layout. Be sure to check in each day to see what the rest of the team has created based on our wonderful followers inspiration.

That’s all from me today, thanks so much for stopping by.

Until next time, Happy Scrapping!
