Fancy Pants Happy Place haul and some extras

Hey, everyone! Just wanted to do a quick post about a collection I picked up recently. I wasn't much one for buying supplies that weren't in my usual kit club, but I had a special project in mind when I bought these. I have been going back to do my 2014 instagrams as a PL album and I realized I had about a million *awesome* photos from a vacation to South Carolina with my fiance's family. I decided to stretch out of my 12x12 standard and I've been working on a 6x8 album.

I knew I wanted a summery happy collection but I didn't want anything overly hot pink. I found this collection, Fancy Pants Happy Place, and the colors are amazing and fit perfectly with a laid-back beach vacation vibe.

I picked up the Brag Cards. It is so hard to tell what the cards look like so I tried to snap a photo of the back of the box so you could see what's included. It's a good mix of designed filler cards and cards with space for journaling. They're also a mix of vertical and horizontal orientation.

Update: These cards are out of stock on Scrapbook.com but are available on Amazon here.

I also picked out these puffy stickers because I love the dimension they add to the layout. I also picked out a pack of enamel dots because of course I did. They aren't the Happy Place collection but they certainly coordinate!

These flair make me really really happy!

I photographed a few of my favorite papers from the 6x6 pad.

This blue ombre stripes has just a hint of the ocean waves in it without being too literal or overwhelming.

These little triangles are so trendy! And I love the pops of yellow to go with the beachy sunshine!

This paper would be awesome cut down into a 4x6 pocket as a filler card and the stripes are a nod to the nautical.

So many plus signs! Plus signs everywhere!

Bright tropical floral- love it! That blue is my favorite!

This paper has a tropical little bird on it. There's also a card that says "free" with the bird on it and a flair with the bird on it. These are PERFECT for documenting my nephew's first frolic in the ocean!

I also got these Crate Paper Craft Market Marquee Thickers. I am using them for a very specific cover page idea I had, along with this Heidi Swapp wood veneer piece.

I also got a few of these arrow paperclips. I love how an arrow moves your eye around the page.

Finally, one of the things I am *most* excited about is this chipboard to use with my Silhouette. It is thinner than I was expecting, but that is okay because I know it won't destroy my Silhouette blade. I made a die cut using it then added paint, glitter, and even spray laquer and it held up really well!

I am so excited about this haul and can't wait to get to work on my album! Stay tuned to see how it comes out- I will definitely post my progress here! Thanks for reading!
