Hi, friends! For our October Scraplift Challenge we are using this gorgeous layout by Kat.


For my layout I am using the You are my Sunshine Collection.  I stayed true to Kat's design except that I used layers of papers in different heights and sizes and distressed the edges.  I used 3 papers from the 6x9 mixed paper pack to create my photo strip's mat as well as the other layers.  Also, in the layers is a 3x4 journaling card. My journaling tag is also from the same pack. I used three super cute diecut borders similar to Kat's design.  I used a second diecut tag behind my journaling tag for extra embellishment and added some twine to connect them. I added some quote labels similar to Kat's quote bubbles as well as a blank label just for the added color. My title is from the Berry Sweet Words diecut pack. I also added several diecut hearts and sticker hearts for added embellishment. My last little finishing touch was the sticker stitches which I used in two places.

I had so much fun creating this layout! Thank you for joining me today. You can see my process video on YouTube (ScrapRona).
