Happy Day Layout with Basic Grey Sun Kissed

Hello, hello!  I', here to share a fun summer layout with Basic Grey's Sun Kissed Collection.  It's such a cute collection, and I just love that pineapple die cut!  It's cold and wintery where I'm at, but I know it's summer somewhere!  I'll admit, I was wishing for warmer days while putting this layout together.  

So this pineapple was the starting point for this whole layout. It just shouts "Summer!" 

There are some beautiful patterns in this paper, reminds me of a kaleidoscope.  I chose many of them and cut them in squares & rectangles to make a mosaic background for the photos. 

Did some embellishing with the cork stickers, die cuts and stickers to add the finishing touches to the layout.  I had just as much fun making this layout as the kids did carving their names into our picnic table that Daddy built.  

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day!

Stars of the Show Bo Bunny Carnival Layout

Welcome to the blog today!  I've got my last circus layout on here today designed with Bo Bunny's Carnival I Want It All Bundle from Fotobella.com.

At the end of the circus my kids were dying to meet the Stars of the Show and didn't mind waiting in line at all to get their autographs.  My son definitely wanted to meet the clown and my daughter was all about the Trapeze artists (my favorite also!).

I matted the two photos side by side, first on white yardstick and then on the red curtain patterned paper.  The background paper is amazing.  The paper with the giraffe is the backside of the "Big Top" paper, and I added and  piece of the "Levitation" paper on the right side of the page.  The "Levitation" paper was perfect for this layout, featuring all types of circus stars and acts.  

Some of the embellishments on this page include the pennant flag banner which I fussy cut out, chipboard star stickers, top hat, shooting stars and Sideshow tab.  I added some Diamond Stickles to make the stars shine.  

Thanks for visiting today and hope you enjoy paper crafting with Bo Bunny's Carnival Collection as much as I did.

Have a fabulous day!
