Hey friends! Brianna Lepper back with you today sharing my newest layout using the super beautiful You Are My Sunshine collection along with the coordinating Cut Out, Summer Sun. If you haven't had a chance to grab any of the Bella Cut Outs, I totally recommend them! They are super convenient and perfect if you're scrapping on the go, if you don't have a die cutting machine or maybe you do own one and don't want to fuss with anything. A lot of Cut Outs have multiples in each package and you can get several different projects out of one! Let's get to my layout:
I used the "Summer" Cut Out from the package and backed it using these 12x12 patterned papers: Everyday Magic, Sunshine, What A Day and Shine Bright. I didn't use the templates that were provided and opted to just trace each letter on the patterned paper and then fussy cut each one out. Once it was completely backed, I put foam tape on the entire thing and set it aside.
Next, I took the striped side of the Shine Bright 12x12 patterned paper and cut two 2" inch strips. I took a piece of white cardstock and adhered each strip on the two sides. I ran it through my sewing machine using a fun stitch and then adhered the Cut Out down to the page.
Next, I matted my photos using the B side of the Everyday Magic paper (the blue and white polka dot pattern is one of my faves!) and popped each one on foam tape. I tucked them both on the sides of the Cut Out and love that the Cut Out is sandwiched between the two.
Here's my other photo cluster:
Then I got to work on embellishing my page! I pulled out the ephemera, ciao chip stickers, epoxy stickers and the Oh Happy Day puffy stickers. The photos on my page are of my two boys parasailing in Maui and I thought that the hot air balloons would be perfect additions to this page. I scattered them around the Cut Out, added some tangled thread and built my clusters around them.
I love texture and dimension in my clusters:
