You are my sunshine | Clique Kits Design Team

Good morning everyone! I hope your having a good week so far. I'm already ready for the weekend here! I want to get some crafting done! But I wanted to share a layout with you today that I made with my Happy Blooms kit from the Clique kits shop. I love this kit!! The colors are amazing and all the pretty things that come in the kit!!

I have this love for yellow. I don't know what it is, maybe that it's such a bright and happy color, IDK. But I had found the little banner piece that said You are my sunshine and that kind of set the tone for my layout. I pulled one of the papers with that beautiful yellow and white and cut that at a diagonal for my background. I stuck that down to some white cardstock and started pulling papers and ephemera to layer behind my pictures of me and my goofy little girl.

I did run some white cardstock through my cuttlebug to add a little more texture to my layout. WHen I did this I really didn't know where I was going to put it but I wanted to have the option to use it if I wanted. Either way it would be used on something lol.I added a white border to my pictures and layered them the way I wanted and grabbed that beautiful blue paper with pretty flowers all over it and cut a square, then layered a piece of the packaging behind that, ruffing all the edges up as I went. That just wasn't where I wanted it though. I wanted more layers and some more color as well. Since I added that floral paper, I could use pretty much any color I wanted. I went through the tags and other ephemera and found this purple tag and added it in to the layers, then cutting my die cut in half I popped that in there too.

Once I did that I really started to like my layout, but I still wanted more on there. So it was time to break out the ephemera, puffy stickers and die cuts. I went through everything, pulled out way to much as I tend to do lol. Then I started to tuck a flower here, put a puffy sticker there and then I found the big teal floral puffy sticker frame and just had to use it. So I added it in under the tag layer and I love the color pop it gives!

Finishing off my layout pretty much came down to adding the pretty little banners here and there that said things about me and my daughter and doing a little journaling on the back of my layout. I hope you liked this layout, I did have fun making it. I'm trying my best not to hoard all the pretty things lol. I think I'm doing a pretty good job of using my pretties though. Make sure to head over to the shop and check out the new kits and hey if you like this kit, it's still available in the shop too! Along with so many others!!
