Hello,
It's Claire here today! I've been away from my scrappy desk for a while as I've been poorly, but I'm delighted to be back with all the gorgeous scrappy products Papermaze stocks and have my first layout to share with you!
This month I'm using the Sunny Days collection by Simple Stories, and it's a good one! So many gorgeous colours, patterns and icons, the possibilities are endless!
I started with a piece of Premium White Cardstock and used a Sunburst cutfile to create a backdrop for my layout. I resized it three times (approximately between 2" to 3") and cut each size twice in different patterned papers.
The papers I used are:
Once they were adhered flat to the page I thought they almost looked a bit like fireworks as well as sun beams, but the photographs I'm scrapping are of my first trip out after my stay in hospital so it definitely felt like a celebration to me.
I mounted my photos on cardstock from the Matchmaker Pack and layered them with foam on top of the big film strip from the Big Bits & Pieces pack. I then created a long fishtail banner from the Happy Days paper to anchor my photos into the sun bursts.
Next, I chose a selection of ephemera pieces from the Bits & Pieces using a combination of the VW Van, 'Smiles' bottle top, sunglasses, bag and hearts.
I also scattered some colourful hearts around the layout to create small clusters, with extra pops of colour coming from the polka dots in the Foam Stickers.
I adore the Foam Stickers in Simple Stories collections, so I also used the bug Good Vibes sticker for my title which helped stretch the design across my page.
As a final touch, I added some gold splatter for that extra touch of magic and sparkle and that was my layout complete!
I hope you've enjoyed this blog - I have really missed being here and am so happy to be back in this creative community sharing this lovely hobby with you all.
Until next time, happy scrapping!
