Love This | Storyteller Collection | Laura Alberts

Hey y’all! Laura Alberts back again with a fun art sculpture inspired layout! Back in April, my son and I visited a beautiful sculpture garden in Twin Lakes, Minnesota, USA. It was such a fun, quirky place to explore art and experience sculpture in a new way. I decided to channel the quirky feel of the garden with this layout using the Storyteller collection! Using the Cross It Off patterned paper for my background, I built a diagonal layout with a really fun collage look. Loved squeezing four 3×4 inch photos on this one!

For my title, I used the Love This from the Chipboard stickers and then layered a journaling spot and hearts from the icon ephemera underneath. For the photos themselves, I kept the embellishing very simple, so that it didn’t become too busy! I set two photos in each of the cross-filled corners and layered them up with word phrases, a banner, and a label.

I really enjoyed playing with white space on this layout, leaving large areas to allow the eye to rest on the opposite corners and keeping a fairly tight cluster of embellishments in between my pairs of photos. This adds a lot of balance to the page and made for a clever place to add splatters as well!

I hope this layout inspires you to find ideas in the least likely of places! It’s such a fun design and captures the mood and feel of the garden really well! To see how ‘Love This’ came together, check out the process video below!
