Hey friends, happy Monday! Brianna here today with another layout using the Lucky Me collection. The weather here has really warmed up in the last couple of weeks and my daughter and I have been spending a lot more time outside. I really wanted to make a page dedicated to how lucky/grateful I am to be able to stay home with her. What's that saying.. The days are long, but the years are short? It's true...I've experienced that with having older boys that are now young adults. It goes by so fast and I'm enjoying every second we spend together. This collection is so happy and fun, the perfect collection for the story that I'm telling. Here's my page:
To start, I selected the Color Me Happy 12x12 paper as my base. I then layered a piece of white cardstock that I trimmed to 11x11 on top. I absolutely love a diagonal stripe as my base layer! I really wanted to add a nice even mix of cardstock and patterned paper so I trimmed down a piece of the Pistachio cardstock and layered both the Rainbow Skies and My Lucky Charm papers on top of it. The cardstock helped break up some of that busy pattern.
Next, I matted my photo using the Clover Patch 12x12 paper and then double matted it with the Swimming Pool cardstock to help it pop even more. Look at all of those pretty paper layers!!
The new coordinating Shakers for this collection are amazing and I really wanted to make a simple shaker element for this page. I pulled out my 2" circle punch and punched out a circle using the B side of the My Lucky Charm paper. I love that tone on tone pink polka dot print! Then I pulled out my flower punch and punched it right in the center of my circle. This created my window for my shaker and I love the flower shape! I backed my shaker with the Rain Drops Heavy Acetate, applied foam tape around my window and carefully poured in some of the Rainbow Bright Shakers mix. I closed it up using a scrap piece of vellum and I love how it turned out. So simple but oh, so cute!
I placed the shaker at the bottom of my photo and then decided to adhere my title right on top of it. It really stands out! I felt like I needed to add some larger pieces on each side of it, so I selected the cute sun and the cloud piece from the All The Things pack and adhered them on each side. Then I started to embellish the rest of the page by pulling in more die cuts, Puffy Icons as well as some regular Icons stickers.
