Today, we are featuring layouts using the Sunshine & Happiness collection!
"I {heart} Summer", by Megan Klauer.
This may be my favorite layout so far that I've created with the new collections. The bright colors are just so bright and fun! Makes me wish Summer was here already!
Supplies:
Sunshine & Happiness: Happy Clouds, Popsicle Kisses, Cute Cuts, Borders, Alpha+Bits, Just Write Journaling Stickers, Miniatures Stickers; Designer Tapes: Jail Bird; High Five Alpha: Black & White; Flags: Summer, Vacation
"A Kiss From Her Puppy Is Happiness", by Kimberly Neddo.
I’ve always wanted to try this quilting design on a layout, and I’m so happy with out this turned out. If you punch a circle and fold it down on 4 sides, you will create this fun look of dimension, and also show off some great styles of paper at the same time. I found by stitching it into place in some area’s it flattened it down a little bit more to add embellishments and my photograph.
Supplies:
Sunshine & Happiness: Sunny Side Up, Play Date, Borders, Happy Clouds, Popsicle Kisses, Miniatures, Ciao Chips; Sophisticates: Ciao Chip Borders; High Five Alpha Stickers: Blue, Pink/Red; Designer Tape: Blue Gingham; Buttons: Aqua Flowers; Crochet Flowers: Dahlia, Juniper
"Yum", by Katherine McElvain.
When I first got a hold of the Sunshine and Happiness collection I was excited to team it up with these photos I took of my daughter making a watermelon smoothie last summer. I love the pink woodgrain pattern on the back of the Play Date paper, so I punched out a variety of circles, layered and rotated the grain pattern to make a pink pop on the top of the page. I also wanted to use the other delicious pinks and greens that the line has to offer and added some to the bottom of the page in strips. A few black paint sprinkles, and the layout is as yummy as the smoothie itself. But not as messy, because the first time my daughter made her watermelon concoction she twisted the blender from the bottom and the smoothie poured out all over the counter and the floor. Wish I would have got some photos of that, but we were too busy cleaning up...Yikes.
Supplies:
Sunshine and Happiness: Petal Power, Play Date, Happy Clouds, Borders, Cute Cuts, Chipboard Icons, Alpha+Bits Stickers; Sophisticates: High Five Alphabets Pink-Red, Simply Simona Alphabets Oreo; Designer Tape: Teal Stripe
"Summer Fun" card, by Gretchen McElveen.
I mean, what is not to love about this line? It might be my most favorite Bella Blvd line to date! I love the bright colors, fun patterns, and all the flowers!
Supplies:
Sunshine & Happiness: Borders, Happy Clouds, Chipboard Icons, Alpha + Bits
