Hi creative friends! Monique Lowe here sharing a fun new layout made with Happy Haven which started with just one paper from the 12x12 Project Pad and grew from there to become a beautiful page of colorful patterned mini squares!
I started by cutting the squares from the paper in the 12x12 Project Pad apart and picked out seven favorites in rainbow colors. After distressing the edges and curling them up a bit, I lined them across the middle of a sheet of white mixed media cardstock. Before sticking them down, I added soft watercolors underneath - just enough to let the colors blend and peek out behind each square. Once the rainbow row was ready, I tucked in a few Journaling Die Cuts tone-on-tone for extra pops of detail. Above that, I layered a torn strip of patterned paper with a smaller floral piece, both from the 12x12 Project Pad, for extra texture and interest! I backed my two photos with Paper 9 and Paper 6 (with torn edges for texture), then I placed them together right in the center of my layout. To finish things off, I built three little clusters around my photos using Foam Stickers, Cardstock Stickers, and Floral Die Cuts. Then came the title with word stickers from the 12x12 Project Pad and a sprinkle of Mini Puffy Stickers - because you can never have too many finishing touches! And that was it! A colorful, happy page that came together so easily once those rainbow squares set the tone. Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you feel inspired to get creating with Happy Haven too!
