Happiness Here Layout by Paige Evans

Here is the finished layout that we made in today's Make with Me Monday! I used my Garden Shoppe collection with American Crafts and used three 2x4" pics of me & Chris at the Nate Bargatze show at the Red Rocks Amphitheater last May. The colors of my sweater match the patterned papers :)

 These are the dimensions of the paper strips:

Paper 2 - orange geometric 3/8"

Paper 3 - blue striped 1/2"

Paper 5 - pink ombre 3/4"

Paper 6 - green plaid 1/4"

Paper 7 - golden 3/8"

Paper 11 - pink/orange diamonds 3/8"

Paper 15 - yellow polka dot 7/8"

Paper 17 - salmon floral 1"

Paper 18 - green ferns 1/2"

Paper 19 - cornflower dots 7/8"

Paper 20 - pink checkerboard 5/8"

Paper 21 - yellow floral 1"

Paper 22 - cornflower stitches 1 1/8"

Paper 23 - orange circles 1"

Paper 24 - pink triangles 3/8"
