Hello Happy!

Hello there! Allie [1] here today sharing two layouts using the fun, NEW Sunshine & Happiness [2]collection! I love all the bright cheerful colors that have me in the mood for summer!

[3]

For the first layout, was instantly inspired by the High Five [4] patterned paper. I cut it up and repieced it back together to create a dimensional background! I added sewing around the triangles to really make them pop. Once I had my photo down, I used the Bits & Pieces included in the SN@P! pack [5] to create my title. I added pop dots to the bottom of "HAPPY" for extra dimension!

I added a few more embellishments to complete the layout--the Bradz [7] are my favorite!

For my next layout, I used the Happy Day [9] paper and some watercolors to create a fun effect.

I loved the flowers in the corner of the Total Crush [11] paper, so I cut the corner from the page and used it as a base to my layout. I layered with fussy cut flowers from the Happy Day paper, and added Bradz and enamel dots on the centers.

[12]

I also used chipboard [13] and some of the Bits & Pieces for variety. Once I had everything down, I used watercolors and a waterbrush around the edges of my layers. I alternated between pink, orange, and yellow watercolors.

Using a waterbrush allowed me to have more control over the look. I cut out the quote from the 4"x6" Horizontal Elements [15] paper, then placed it beneath my title. I completed the page by using the watercolors to add splatters!

Thanks for joining me today, I hope you feel inspired to use the new Sunshine & Happiness collection! I had a lot of fun creating these layouts and it's made me extra excited for Summer!
