Always Happy Layout

Hello crafty friends!  I hope all is finding you well.  I'm happy to say I have been able to venture into my craft room again, and this time I created something I haven't done in more than a year... a layout! I have been wanting to create layouts again for quite some time, but I have had such a craft block lately and I wasn't quite sure where to start with making a layout again.

So I turned to several challenges that helped get the ball rolling, and this is what I created...

To create my layout I used a mix of Pinkfresh Studio products (many that come from older collections such as Up in the Clouds: their very first paper collection). 

I was inspired by the Pinkfresh Studio Challenge:

As well as the Scrap Our Stash Challenge: "Feelings"  The Feeling I chose was Happy! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope to be back with more crafty projects soon!
Happy Crafting!
