You’re Beautiful | Happy Days collection | Tarrah McLean
Hi creative friends,
It’s Tarrah back with you and today I am sharing a new layout featuring the gorgeous new Happy Days collection!
Have you seen the gorgeous new gold foiled specialty paper in this collection? It is soooo beautiful! I knew I had to use it for a layout! I decided to document some dress up photos of my niece, adding a total of 3 photos on this layout!
Make sure you get the specialty paper in your Happy Days collection order, you won’t be disappointed!
I took the gold foiled specialty paper and carefully cut out the centres of the ‘frames’ with my craft knife, leaving just the outline of each ‘frame’. I put the centres aside in case I want to use these on a project in the future. I then took the A5 paper stack and chose 1 of each of the papers from the pack and backed all the spaces in the papers where there were no photos. My title is made up of the gorgeous chipboard alphabet stickers. I placed the title split up so that it helps draw your eye around the layout.
Once all of the spaces were backed, I trimmed down the specialty paper and adhered this piece to the ‘B’ side of the ‘Definitive’ paper to frame the entire layout. I chose a variety of the beautiful embellishments in the collection to embellish each of the ‘frames’ including die-cuts from the ephemera pack, enamel hearts and dots, fabric puffy hearts and accessory stickers. Many of the embellishments have been adhered using craft foam underneath to add dimension to the page, I love how the craft foam creates shadows and dimension.
On some of the spaces, I chose to leave the embellishments off as I felt that the paper was enough for that space. You can in the below image, I left them off the rainbow paper and the round butterfly space. I also left the orange and lemon space free of embellishments and the horizontal rectangle at the bottom as well. Some of the spaces only have subtle embellishments such as the round space with the rainbow paper, I have only added 2 enamel hearts to this space.
I love how colourful and bright this collection is and how easy it is to create pretty projects! The collection made this page come together so easily and I love how it turned out! I can’t wait to see what you all create using this beautiful collection! Make sure you get your hands on it soon!
Thank you so much for stopping by the Cocoa Vanilla blog today! I hope you enjoyed reading about how I created my layout as much as I enjoyed creating it!
Happy creating!
