Simple Stories - Color Me Happy - The Best Memories

Hi!

It's Claire back on the blog today and I have another layout made with the Color Me Happy collection from Simple Stories.

I loved this collection as soon as I saw it, but creating with it makes me love it even more! It's such good fun!



For this post, I'm focusing more on the floral elements which are so pretty. I started with a sheet of plain white cardstock, and cut a circle from the How Cool notebook paper to act as my base layer.




On top of this, I cut a polka dot fishtail banner from the Right Now! paper and lay this across the centre, raising on foam to create separation. To help them stand out, I added a dotted black line with a Sharpie pen to each of the coloured edges.

Next, I wanted some bold pops of colour, so I cut out lots of circles from the All About It? Paper. I positioned 5 along the top, and 5 along the bottom of the banner, again adhering on foam for extra depth.



I cut my photo to the same sized circle and added this along the top of the banner, before creating a pretty floral cluster around it using flowers from the Floral Bits & Pieces.



For balance, I created a second cluster opposite my photo, using this space to house my title. Of course, I opted for the Foam Stickers for the 'Memories' phrase, complemented by a small chevron arrow from the Chipboard Pieces.




To finish, I added a few sequins from my stash to give it that little extra sparkle.

Thank you for joining me on the blog today. Don't forget to check out this stunning collection in the shop here.

Happy scrapping!
