Hey Everyone!
Audrey here. I had the privilege of playing with the NEW Summer Porch Collection for this layout. I love the bright and bold colour palette in this collection. 
To start, I used a dark navy colour from the Summer Porch 12x12 Solids Collection, as my base to frame the main layout. The main is actually the back of the cover page for the Summer Porch 12x12 Paper Collection. I love how 49 and Market don't waste any of their packaging. You can use just about all of it somehow. Whether it be a 12x12 piece of paper, like in this case or some fussy cutting elements and more.
I trimmed about 1cm from the edge of the main paper so there was a frame of the navy showing.
I matted my photo on a red from the Solids Collection Pack.
I played with placement of papers and laser cuts, on the main page and once happy I glued them in place. Starting first with papers from the Summer Porch 6x8 Paper Collection for the background. The seagull print is from the 12x12 Collection pack.
Mounting pieces give the page a little more depth.I use foam mount for the window, hot glue for the larger laser cut pieces and pva wet glue for the tinier pieces.
I LOVE rub on transfers, I do tend to pop them on towards the end of my layouts or creations, adding that finishing touch. I will trim the transfer and even tuck it behind or overlap the design on paper etc. Along with some pieces from Summer Porch Ephemera.
Until Next Time
Happy Creating
