Under My Umbrella

It's Autumn here in New Zealand, and the weather can definitely change without warning! So far today we've had sunshine, torrential rain and a beautiful rainbow.

I usually don't like scrapbooking photos of myself but when I saw the Heart 2 Heart Weather prompt I knew that these photos would make a perfect match!

I used the So Much Happy collection to create this bright layout, and cut out some clouds from the cut outs as well as used some of the puffy stickers for interest. The rainbow zip strip tied n perfectly with my layout theme, and the matching journalling box made it easy for me to tell the story.



I used the umbrella thin cut from one of the Paper Doll stamp sets to further tie the theme of this layout together, and the sentiment from the cut apart sheet was the final touch.

I'm sharing this layout with the Design Team over at Heart 2 Heart challenges, and I'd also love to share this layout with Scrap Our Stash Saturday Cartoon inspired challenge as the Grumpy Bear inspired me with the blue and clouds.

So Much Happy Australasian CTMH Blog Hop

Hello and welcome aboard our March Australasian Close to My Heart Blog Hop.

If you have arrived here from Kara then you are in the right place.

If you landed here by accident, no problem, please join in by following the link at the end of this post.

Today I would like to share with you a creation which features Close To My Heart’s March Featured Paper Packet, So Much Happy.

I fell in love with the Workshops Your Way So Much Happy Scrapbooking Kit the moment I saw it- I knew it would be perfect for my recent travel and birthday photos! 

Here's the travel themed layout, featuring lots of different patterns and colours. 

I love the use of all the patterns and zip strips, as well as puffies (did I mention I love puffies!) and the ombre EXPLORE title.

I also love the matching PML cards and the cute little sentence stickers that add a little something extra to the layout. 

The birthday photos layout also caught my eye, as I wanted to document my son's 6th birthday party and these blues matched wonderfully with the photos. 

Look at this glorious combination of chipboard, mini title stickers and puffies!

I also made good use of the cut apart sheet featuring the rainbow ampersand, and the sticker sheet also comes with mini alphas for creating your own titles.

This Paper Packet definitely gives me So Much Happy!
