The Good Life Layout by Zsoka Marko

From the delicate flowers to the impeccable color palette, this new layout by Zsoka Marko will leave you swooning!
Hey there friends, I'm sharing my newest layout I've created for the Paige Evans + Silhouette Design Team. I didn't really have a plan for this one, I only knew I wanted to use the gorgeous Large Flower cut file and the Oh My Heart collection. I still love this collection so much, I actually ended up using it for all my May projects!

I didn't want to go with the obvious and blow up the cut file, I do this too often! So I went with the second most obvious, haha! This design I do very often too but I can't get tired of it. I guess we all have our favorites! I usually do this with circles - these flowers are pretty much that, too, right? So I cut a few of them in different sizes from textured white white cardstock then partially backed them with patterned papers.

I was going to go with a rainbow of colors but I changed my mind halfway and went with yellows and greens. I wish I checked my supplies before making decisions like these because I almost always end up struggling with embellishments. I don't have much left from Oh My Heart, especially not in these colors, so I had to go through all of Paige's collections. I added Chipboard Stickers, Stickers, Ephemera Die Cuts, and Puffy Stickers from Turn the Page, a button and the puffy sticker title from Fancy Free, a Chipboard Sticker bow from Take Me Away, and Heart Charms from Oh My Heart.

I played around with the flowers and the photo until I liked the arrangement then adhered them down. For a couple of them I used foam adhesive for additional dimension. I also layered some tissue paper behind my photo as well as a Journaling Spot. A clear sentiment sticker from the Turn the Page Sticker Book was the perfect color and length for my photo so I added this too. I stitched on three buttons - the big yellow-green is from Fancy Free (I've been hoarding it because this is one of my favorite colors), the other two are from my stash. Last but not least, I stamped the date (which I now realize is a year off, since it should be 2018 haha!), added enamel dots, and a puffy sticker title finish off my layout!

I hope you like this layout as much as I do! Those flowers are just so pretty, they make me happy. I will be back soon with another Oh My Heart layout - I hope you'll join me then too! Have a wonderful day!
