It's a good day for a sunburst!

I tried to scrap some fall photos the other day.  Didn't work out.  This is the time of year where everyone comes out of hibernation and basks in the sunshine.  So warm spring and summer layouts it is!  This one was really fun to make.  The hubs thinks it looks "unfinished" but I didn't want to cover up too much of the sunny rays so I think it's just fine the way it is.  What do men know about this sort of thing anyway? ;-)  Happy Friday everyone!  Hope you all have a fabulous weekend.

I started out by cutting a sunburst mask out of cardstock.

Placed the mask over another piece of white cardstock, grabbed a circle stencil, and added some yellow mist.

I layered a red mist over the yellow to get some firey orange in there.

Removed the mask and got a great contrast of the bright colors and the bright white!

Outlined the rays with a roller pen, stamped and added a bit of shiny bling 

Really felt like I had to bring the green from the grass in the photo into the layout and settled on  these green rosettes.

Materials used:
white cardstock
Heidi Swapp Color Mists in Mustard and Sweet Cherry
Tim Holtz Visual Artistry Lost and Found cling stamps
Sticko dimensional stickers
Webster's Pages bloomers in Happy Green
Graphic Call 45 Curtain Call Let's Dance patterned paper
vellum phrase from who knows where
Roller pen

The Great Hair Band Comeback!

Had so much fun with this layout.  A few years back I had picked up a paper pack from We R Memory Keepers called Teen Angst for a commissioned scrapbook I was putting together for a teen's graduation album.  Most of the paper pack and die cuts have sat, unused for several years now...but like fashion from the 80's....they have made a comeback!  I was putting together a layout for another CSI challenge (that CSI founder Debbi was hosting for the ladies over at Soul Scrappers) and the die cuts from the Teen Angst packet were just too perfect for this photo.  Rock and roll is here to stay, dudes.
