Happy Sunshine Moments

Tropical Brights

Hi scrappers! Can you believe it’s June?! Despite all the chaos bringing life nearly to a standstill, time marches on.

Summer is here again and this week’s page features some photos from a trip to Hawaii several years back. These were taken in Waikiki in the man-made bay in front of the Hilton Hotel.

I started with a piece of off-white card stock and added a piece of subtly patterned paper from The Paper Studio’s Entirely Textures stack. In keeping with the tropical vibe of my photos, I used a piece of pineapple and floral patterned paper from the Utopia stack by Authentique. If you’re looking to scrap photos of a tropical vacation, this stack is perfect. All the papers have vintage feel while featuring Hawaii-centric patterns. I used some pink paper with a water marble design to mat my photos along with some pale pink card stock. I embellished with some paper and chipboard tags, little pink sandals by Jolee’s Boutique, and some pineapple washi tape.

This page was created for the Sketches in Thyme June challenge. The sketch called for a long title and the one I used definitely fit the bill. I used alphabet stickers from the Maggie Holmes sticker book by American Crafts. I was inspired to include a camera just like the sketch and found one in the Amy Tangerine sticker book, also by American Crafts. These books are great! They are meant to be used with a personal planner but they make for perfect scrapbook embellishments.

This page was also created for Color, Story Inspiration. Check out their super fun and fruity mood board! I used the associated “evidence” on this page:

Solid colored card stock
Paper with a painted look
Patterns with fruit or plants
Fruit
Palm fronds or other foliage
Rub-ons
Washi Tape
Use the same font alpha in different colors

Thanks for stopping by. Everyone stay safe out there!
