Good Day Sunshine with Monique!

Hello My Creative Scrapbook friends! It's Monique here sharing my July step-by-step tutorial using the Main Kit with amongst others all the lovely Echo Park "Good Day Sunshine" goodies!

This is the layout I created and I thought I'd show you how I made it. Don't you just love those happy colors & patterns?!

I started with the fun July cut files and decided to go with the umbrella cut file in the top right corner:

Using my Silhouette Cameo I cut the umbrella from the b-side of the Echo Park paper "Little Red Wagon":

I chose three patterned papers to back the umbrella, trying a few combinations first before deciding on these three:

The three left-over pieces from the umbrella cut file served as a template to hand cut around:

Love the result:

As I found the white cardstock a bit too white to serve as a background for my layout I sprayed some yellow and blue mist on my cardstock:

I started building my layout by creating a border on the left side, adding a few lines of typed journaling as well:

The umbrella came next:

After matting the photo I decided it should go at the bottom of the umbrella. I chose a few stickers and chipboards and punched two flowers to add to the photo. On top of the umbrella I adhered two chipboards as well:

I love the Dear Lizzy alphabet stamp set that is included in this kit and used it to stamp the title on my page:

And for the finishing touch I used the sewing machine:

Really loving how this turned out.

Here are a few close-ups of my page:

This is it! Hope you like it!
