"Summer Fun"

by Carissa

Happily Ever Paper Crafter

            1. Get a sketch idea.

I found this sketch of a layout on Pinterest. (Thanks Michelle Wallace!)

 2. Find a paper and cut out a bunch of die cuts. With my Cricut I cut out a variety of sizes and shapes never knowing what I will use.

3. Gather embellishments, paper, trim, ect.

I have several boxes of Pumpkin Spice supplies, so I just go shopping through my stuff and pull out everything I think I will use. I don't use it all though!

4. Start layering pieces according to the sketch.

I always try to do a variation of the sketch. I make my pictures work. If an embellishment looks funny, then I just move it to another spot.

5. Adjust edit and layer.

Keep moving the pieces until it looks right. Layer more to add interest.

6. Add the final touches.  Here I added words and rhinestones and stickles.
