Fancy Pants - Life is Beautiful Layout by Rachel Lowe:

Happy Monday everyone. Today I am working with the gorgeous collection Life is Beautiful and it is indeed beautiful. I love the quality feel of their papers and their embellishments are always plentiful. Recently I had some professional photos taken and I have used a stunning one of my daughter and hence my choice of going super girly with the stunning floral papers. This layout is all about layering and with the ephemera pack you are spoilt for choice.

As a feature of my background paper I have used the dark floral paper to contrast against the black and white stripes. I have sewn on them to add definition. I chose the turquoise paper to mat my photo for a contrast against the florals.

I then chose the white floral paper and used a strip to start layering on. There are some lovely tags to chose from but in keeping with my theme I chose a floral one to layer behind my photo.

I then used the floral die cut frame which I attached with foam tape and added the typewriter die cut over it and the floral flair under it. I then foam taped other elements such as my title, 'Be Happy' die cut and butterfly. I then punched a small flower circle from the white floral paper and attached to the left of my photo to add interest.

I finished this layout off with some enamel hearts and dots. Thank you for stopping by today and do head over to the shop to see this gorgeous collection up close. Have a lovely week and see you next Monday. xXx Life is beautiful - decorative tags Life is Beautiful - ephemera pack Life is beautiful - flairs Life is beautiful - cactus bloom paper Life is beautiful - chill paper Life is beautiful - fancy floral paper Life is beautiful - save the date paper Life is beautiful - puffy dot stickers Life is beautiful - puffy stickers
