You Are My Sunshine Layout

Ever since I got my hands on the various pieces from the Party Mixers line from Core'dinations, there has been no turning back. Today I am going to showyou how I incorporated them into a layout!

Supplies Used:

• Core Essentials - Brights
• Party Mixers - Paper Pops Brights
• Party Mixers- Rosette Garland Scattered Straw
• Core Tags - Brights
• Darice Fabric Tape
• Core Essentials - Neutrals
• Orange & Yellow Embroidery Floss
• Enamel Dots in coordinating Colors
• Core Basics Patterns: Dark Pink Polka Dot
• Electronic Die Cut Machine

Step 1: Cut your title out using a cut file (You Are My Sunshine) and use the negative space of your white cardstock.  Back it with different cardstocks from the Brights paper pad.  Matte your picture and also add that to the base.

Technique Tip: Core'dinations cardstock cuts great on the Silhouette Cameo.  Set your blade at 4, speed at 3, thickness at 33, and set it to double cut.  That has worked every time for me - even with the textured cardstock!

Step 2: Start layering Paper Pops to create interest behind and around the picture.  Top with a Rosette that you will turn into a sunshine.  You can use foam adhesive behind some of them and outline the pops or  with black if you want to add some extra pop them!

Step 3: Do long stitches from the sun outward to look like sun rays.

Step 4: Add a tag under the picture, fabric tape to the top and bottom of the layout, and enamel dots throughout as your finishing touch.
