You're My Sunshine | Scrap the Girls June Challenge

Hi everyone!

Can you believe we are into JUNE already? I can't! The year is certainly flying by very quickly. I am here today to kick off with my first design team share for the month, and what better way to start winter than with a beautiful burst of colour? 

Today I am sharing my take on this month's challenge at Scrap the Girls, which is all about celebrating best friends in honour of "International Best Friend Day" on June 8th. Here's a look at the inspiration board...

I created a layout featuring a selfie of myself and my bestie that was taken when we were at a music festival earlier in the year. And as this month's sponsor is Flutterby Designs, I couldn't go past using the recently released 'Good Vibes Only' collection from Flutterby for my page.

I used the gorgeous 'Ray of Sunshine' paper from the 'Good Vibes Only' 12x12" paper pack as the base; then I cut a variety of pieces from the coordinating Everyday Etc cards and filler cards, and arranged them in a patchwork style on my page. I then used my sewing machine to add some subtle stitching before adding my photo on top.

On top of my layers, I added a couple of phrase stickers from the 'Good Vibes Only' Sticky Quote sheet, which I also then stitched over the top of. Above those, I added a Charms Creations handmade heart embellishment. I also added the fuck I love you babe quote sticker from the 'Mad About You' Sticky Quotes sheet directly onto my photo.

My title was created using the sunshine word from the 'Good Vibes Only' Die Cut Bits & Bobs pack, combined with you're my cut from a white Tiny Sticky Quote. I also added the stitching through the die cut word to tie in with the rest of my page.

I used the little pina colada image from one of the Everyday Etc cards, and HAD to use the super cute pina colada flair button alongside it. (Pina Coladas are my absolute favourite cocktail and my bestie and I have shared MANY of them together, so it had extra significance putting it on this page.)

I am so happy with how this page turned out. If you missed out on the 'Good Vibes Only' range when it was released, never fear, there is still some left! Head over to the Flutterby Designs shop and grab it while you can - such a fun collection to document your summer memories!

Thanks for stopping by today so I could share this with you. If you would like to play along with this month's Scrap the Girls challenge for your chance to win a Flutterby Designs prize, head over to the STG blog HERE and check out the details.

Until next time, happy scrapping! X
