Sunkissed Layout By Phil Donahue


Monday, July 7, 2025

Hello scrappy friends and happy summer! Phil Donahue here back on Paige's blog with a sunny layout featuring her Happy Haven collection and a sunburst shaker element! This layout features a beautiful photo of my niece watching a mesmerizing sunset.
My favorite paper in this collection is Paper 5 so I knew I wanted to heavily feature it in an upcoming project and this was the time! The muted mustard backdrop and cream floral are the perfect contrast to the photo and a nod to a sunny color without being overly bright. I cut a 5 inch circle slightly askew from the center of the page and distressed the edges. Next, I glued a piece of acetate behind and surrounded the circle with adhesive foam then poured a mixture of gold and green sequins in the middle. I glued a piece of vellum over a green and white leaf pattern paper from the 12x12 Project Pad behind to secure all the shiny bits! After, I cut triangular strips from a ditzy floral paper (also from the 12x12 Project Pad), distressed the edges, and adhered them around the shaker element using adhesive foam for added dimension. I tucked torn strips of vellum and cream colored lace around the page to complete the main background and create an abstract sunburst. Lastly, I layered the photo in front of the green and white leaf paper and gold foil cardstock and adhered it to the page. I made my title with my Cricut using papers from my stash and the collection and added cream, yellow, and green florals from the Floral Die Cuts along the center of the page. Final steps were splatters of gold paint and more gold sequins around areas of embellishment to complete the layout! I hope you found some inspiration in this layout and choose to try Paige's Happy Haven collection along with a shaker element in your next project! Thanks for stopping by and happy summer scrapping!

  1. Such a happy sunburst! Love how you alternated the tiny floral paper strips with vintage laces against the gold background. Cheers!
