Summer | Simple Stories Hello Summer | Tarrah McLean

Hi everyone!
It's Tarrah McLean back with you and today I am sharing a new layout using the Hello Summer collection by Simple Stories!!!
I absolutely love that rainbow striped paper from this collection but I will be honest, it is a little bit intimidating to use it all as one whole piece because there is just so much colour! I decided to cut out a cut file design on white cardstock so that I could put it over the top and tone the colours down a little bit. I love how it looks over the top of the paper and how the arrows draws your eye into the photo!

This photo is a classic of myself with my friends at a scrapbooking retreat where we had a Hawaiian dress up night! This collection was perfect to use with this photo as the colours go perfectly! I couldn't resist using that awesome Summer chipboard title at the bottom of my photo.

I also wanted to add a touch of black and white so I added the 'Good Times' sticker to the right of my photo. I like how the black and white breaks up some of the colour going on! I added some of the leftover wood veneer pieces I had like the heart and the small pineapple. 

I fussy cut a few of the clouds from the cloud paper and added to the top of the photo along with the sunglasses and phrase sticker.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Make sure you check out the Sassy store for amazing goodies you can't live without!  

Happy creating!
