The Summer Solstice collection by Pink Paislee was a favourite of the Summer CHA releases. The colour combinations, and the gold, the fun water theme, lots to love.
I am a sucker for patterned papers like this one.
For some reason designs like this one just beg to be cut apart and machine stitched back down with just a little bit of space between each piece.

I find that when you're able to create so much visual detail with a simple piece of background paper you don't need much more to complete a layout, even when layers and clusters of embellishments are your "go to" design. These sweet gold foam shapes are a perfect compliment to the colours and design. And how great is it when manufacturers create some cross-over in colour scheme so you are able to mix and match from one collection to another? The alphas from my title are from the Switchboard collection. Just another reason why I like to create my layouts using primarily one manufacturer. I'll do anything I can to reduce my average time of 1.5-3 hours to create one layout. You can see all the latest Pink Paislee collection in the Paper Issues shop right here. Including the gorgeous Merry & Bright.
This will be my December Daily collection of choice.
