Choose Happy Layout by SUE CREASE
Hello,
Today you find me over on The Mad Scrapper Blog sharing this lovely layout using papers available in store. A full list can be found below.
This is another photograph of my sister's granddaughter, she is so adorable.
Here we go starting with my usual gathering of products I think I may use today. After selecting these gorgeous papers from Uniquely Creative I felt I needed some brightness so I grabbed the cut apart sheet from Dressed in Daydreams collection
I decided to add a couple of strips of the pink so I cut into the main paper 2 inches from the top and bottom. I distressed all the cut edges of the main paper and added some hand stitching then I added the pink strip to the top under both. For the bottom pink one I decided I would add some postage cutting allowing it to come over the top of the bottom piece. Once it was all dry I trimmed it down to 12 x 12.
I put the photo on to a coral mat rounding off the edges. Then I cut two cover plates one in the pink the other in the mint, off setting them slightly. Then I added back in the cut away pieces - I thought it gave a cute effect.
There are journal cards and extra ephemera to cut out on the Afternoon Breeze sheet and I cut the bow and stacked it on to the birdhouse. In the end I didn't like the postage edge so I covered it up with a manufacturer strip I kept from a previous paper; I just loved the butterflies and the colours were similar to those of the papers. The cup and 7 days a week are from the same ephemera sheet.
As there were butterflies on the paper I decided to add these two huge ones I saved from an old 49 and Market paper (I knew I'd find a use for them). I used one of the four journal cards to write on.
Here is the other butterfly, I also added a rub-on as I thought it picked up the sweetie tucked into the flower cluster. The yellow star and pink circle are from my stash and they are a nod to the foamy sweets on top of the cream. The title is also from the ephemera sheet.
As I mentioned, I grabbed another cut apart sheet for more flowers. I used the Dressed in Daydreams sheet - it also has a couple of mushrooms and I decided to tuck one in there, well why not? Generally when I add florals I use hot glue because it gives a little height if you like it that way. To finish off I added a few clear rhinestones.
Thank you for stopping by today. If you can do pop in to see Janine in the shop, if not then do as I do and grab a coffee and check out the newly improved The Mad Scrapper web site.
Sue.
