Good morning, everyone! Summer is still in full swing here and we are spending a lot of time outside. When the kids are busy playing sometimes, I like to sit back in my hammock and read. Well, the day I scrapbooked about one of my dogs decided to be my shadow. He wouldn't leave my side lol, so I had to snap some pictures and scrap them.

I love this collection by the way lol. The kit I chose to work with was the good Stuff sampler kit.The colors are so bright and fun, one of the reasons I picked it! I started off matting my photos into a photo strip and then running the dark blue paper with criss-crosses on it, through my sizzix. I loved all the non-perfect circles and the fact that I could use this color and not make it seem to dark. My pup was looking off to the right so I thought I would put my photo strip to the left of the layout and move on with my layout from there.

​I went through the papers and pulled different ones I thought I might want to use and set those aside and pulled a few that I wanted to fussy cut a few things out of too. I pulled the rainbow striped paper out and decided to use it across the bottom of my layout, but I didn’t want that to be the only paper I used so I cut a strip of peachy pink paper too. I used a punch from my stash and ran it along one edge of that and slid it under the striped paper.

I went through and started pulling ephemera out and playing with where I wanted it on my layout, along with a few of the items I had fussy cut out earlier. I had thought I was going to use just the 3 labels I had cut out for my journaling and realized I had more I wanted to document, so I decided to make the patterned papers I added to my layout a pocket. This way I could hid a little more journaling n my layout and not make it overwhelming.

When I was done sticking all my stickers and labels and stuff down, I thought there was too much white space at the top. I saw that cute sun in the ephemera pack and thought it would work great on the top of my layout, so I cut out a few clouds by hand and laid them on my layout but thought I would take it a step further and run it through my sewing machine too. Lol. That finished this layout off.
