Sunshine and Happiness Layout by Maija Männistö

Hi friends, Maija Männistö here to share my first DT layout with Go the Scenic Route. Don’t you just love the colors?! I love the bright and crisp tones, they will sure bring joy in the upcoming darker months here in the north!

I just couldn’t resist fussy cutting into all those gorgeous floral papers so I really wanted to create a wreath. I didn’t want any flowers on it so for my cut file I chose Paige's Branches Wreath cut file. I cut it from one of the papers in the 12x12 Paper Pad - the perfect turquoise color! I wanted to add some dimension to the wreath so I used the off cuts as my guides and blotted the paper with pink ink. Then I added pink splashes of color mists. The wreath itself I only glued on from the circle and bent the individual branches up just a little bit for dimension.

For my cluster of flowers I used two of the floral papers from the 12x12 Paper Pad as well as the same one with the bright pink flowers from the 6x8 Paper Pad. I love to be able to add flowers in different sizes. To bring even more fun and colors into the wreath I fussy cut butterflies from a paper in the 12x12 Paper Pad. As the title I used two pieces from the Chipboard Stickers - "sunshine" & "and happiness".

On the opposite side of the wreath I made another cluster with the same flowers. I also added the super cute "wild and free" sticker from the Cardstock Stickers. Around both clusters I added some of the Enamel Dots, which are just the perfect finishing touch to any layout!

Thank you so much for stopping by today, have a lovely and crafty day!
