Think Happy Be Happy

Hi there. Yesterday was a great day. It was my first kid's scrapbooking class at my home. I'll be doing a class every Monday, concentrating on a different technique and theme every week. I only have two little girls at the moment, to be three next week and hopefully will expand to a full six.

This week, we did a simple stenciled layout where the girls went to town with rainbow colours and cranked out die cuts on the Big Shot. All lots of fun.

Starting off very simply with a stenciled background.

On to my current layout. I'm slowly making my way through our summer holiday photos.

Think Happy Be Happy

I love the colours in this kit - dark pink, yellow, orange and greens. Such a pretty combination.

 I sponged on some gesso on the background paper and also smushed some distress paints around the page and splattered with some white paint before putting down the photo and embellishments.

I dug out some resin flowers from my stash to bulk out the embellishments. I added lots of layers to the photos and also a lace edge.

I love the little ready made pinwheel and the cute wooden buttons. Oh, and of course the cute smile in the photo.

I added a cute happy flair to the heart banner and some sequins around the page.
