Happy by Tammy Klingner

 Good morning everyone!  Can you believe we are halfway through December?? 2 more weeks until the end of the year. Yep mind blown.   This week I've been working on a layout using some of Bella Boulevard's Illustrated Faith range. Just adore the colours!  

  This layout is inspired by the craziness of this time of year. In our attempt to get everything done, we can lose the joy. We can lose our focus.   So this is about finding happiness in the everyday craziness. It's about feeling grateful. It's so important.  

  I began by applying some gesso to white cardstock.   I then added a few brush strokes of paint. I wanted to journal on the paint, so I was mindful where I placed it. I added a few flicks of paint as well.  Love the colour!    I added a few strips of paper to the left hand side of my layout.   I added some layers behind my photo, and then embellished with a few page tabs and stickers.  

  Once this was all stuck down, I journalled.   For me this is the most important part.   I hope this layout inspires you to not only scrap, but also to stop and be grateful. So, what are you grateful for?     Products used: White Bazzill White Gesso Dylusions Paint - Polished Jade Bella Boulevard Illustrated Faith You are Loved Paper Borders Bella Boulevard Illustrated Faith You are Loved Paper Heart a Flutter Bella Boulevard Illustrated Faith You are Loved Paper Hearts Kisses Bella Boulevard Illustrated Faith You are Loved Paper Pieces Bella Boulevard Illustrated Faith You are Loved Fundamentals Stickers Bella Boulevard Addison Tabbies
