Hi everyone!
It's Tarrah McLean back with you and today I am sharing a new layout using the Hello Summer collection by Simple Stories!!!

I absolutely love that rainbow striped paper from this collection but I will be honest, it is a little bit intimidating to use it all as one whole piece because there is just so much colour! I decided to cut out a cut file design on white cardstock so that I could put it over the top and tone the colours down a little bit. I love how it looks over the top of the paper and how the arrows draws your eye into the photo!

This photo is a classic of myself with my friends at a scrapbooking retreat where we had a Hawaiian dress up night! This collection was perfect to use with this photo as the colours go perfectly! I couldn't resist using that awesome Summer chipboard title at the bottom of my photo.

I also wanted to add a touch of black and white so I added the 'Good Times' sticker to the right of my photo. I like how the black and white breaks up some of the colour going on! I added some of the leftover wood veneer pieces I had like the heart and the small pineapple.
