You Are My Sunshine layout tutorial

I'm here with you today to share a step by step tutorial. I had the pleasure of working with the fun and whimsical MCS April creative kit that is filled with Photo Play's Bloom and Doodlebug's Spring Things.

And here is my layout...

Step 1: trim pieces from the pink Bloom paper.

I counted six lines and cut. Some were taller but that's ok because I wanted to give some variation to my fence.

Step 2: Trim a piece of yellow cardstock and glue to each piece of the pink Bloom fence post on the top and one piece of yellow cardstock for the bottom.

For my layout, I made 2 sets...one to go on the left side and one to go on the right but you could make one continuous fence.

Step 3: I trimmed the 2 strips from the Doodlebug Springtime Spots and adhered to a sheet of white cardstock. Then I ran it through my sewing machine with a straight stitch.

Step 4: I added some pink and yellow paint splatters and let dry. Then I adhered a set of layered patterned papers to be the base for my photo.

 Step 5: I adhered my fence pieces to my layout and before the glue dried I slid one of the Doodlebug trees behind the fence.

Step 6: I added an adorable little bee and some flowers to my fence.

Step 7: Using an exacto knife, cut out the outer circle of the Doodlebug You Are My Sunshine

Step 8: Adhere your photo first and then add the circle to layout

Step 9: Use pop-dots on the back of the Spring die cut

Step 10: And adhere to layout

Step 11: Cut 3 circles from pattern papers and glue them together. Glue button to the center to create a small handmade flower. Adhere the flower and banner to top left corner of layout. 

Your layout is complete now!
