Carpe Diem!

Hi everyone!

 

This week, as part of my Design Team Work for All About Scrapbooks,  I'm sharing a layout I created using Simple Stories Carpe Diem. 

This is a gorgeous range.  I love the bright, happy colours.

 

 

I chose to go with a white background as my photo was really bright. 

 I added watercolour to the background - I went with blue to go with the water in the photo, and added yellow as it was fresh and summery.

I cut a few strips and attached these to the right hand side of the page. 

Instead of layering papers behind my photo, I used a variety of chipboard frames from the range.

I adore these!! I use frames often in my layouts, I love tucking them behind layers.

But I think these may be my favourites!

 

 

I then added some 2Crafty Chipboard - I used both the messy heart, and the small mini hearts.  I painted them in matching colours to my layout.

I then added a few embellishments.

 

That's about it!

Quick, fun, and summery!
