Happy Saturday scrappy friends! Today I'm sharing another one of the layouts that I taught how to create with the Lovely Blooms collection at the Pinkfresh Studio May 2023 Create & Connect virtual event. The patterned paper with all the strawberries was just begging to be fussy cut :)
Use a piece of 12x12 light blue cardstock as the background. Fussy cut all the remaining full and mostly full strawberries, flowers, and leaves from the Little Wins paper. This takes quite some time, but is worth the results! Find the center of the background and draw a 6” circle with a pencil. Loosely place all the fussy cut pieces around the circle, starting with the largest pieces first and filling in the gaps with the smaller flowers and strawberries - don’t glue anything down yet.
Once you like the placement of everything, take a picture to refer back to in case things get moved around, flip the pieces over one at a time, add tiny foam squares on the backs, then attach them in place. Splatter watered down white acrylic paint in the center and speed up the drying time with a hair dryer. Adhere a 6 ½” round photo to the center then place Puffy Alpha Stickers around the curve of the photo to make the title. Layer two large Puffy Phrase Stickers across the bottom of the photo as a subtitle.
On the right side, add a blue tag Cardstock Sticker and a piece of the blue striped pocket envelope from the Journaling Bits with journaling written on top using a white pen. On the left side, add a torn strip of the green floral section from the top left side of the Choose Happy paper, also fussy cut the round “YAY” circle from that section to add on top, a little piece of green grid Start Somewhere paper, and a red sentiment Ephemera die cut. Finish by adding enamel dots in coordinating colors and round blue dots from the Puffy Alpha Stickers on and around the photo as shown.
Thanks for stopping by! Let me know if you have any questions and have a happy scrappy day!
