Bloom | Unforgettable Collection | Melissa Vining

Hi everyone, it’s Melissa here and I am so happy to be back with you today sharing a layout that I created with the beautiful Unforgettable collection.  I recently used this collection for Throwback Thursday and as I was going through it I realised that I hadn’t yet used the partial wreath paper.  I was recently packing up my craft room (we are moving) and I found this really old photo of myself pregnant with my first baby, who is now 14. My photo is slightly damaged, but it didn’t stop me from scrapbooking it!

I started by fussy cutting out the centre of the wreath, and I adhered the wreath to the blue and white stripped paper.  I backed my photo with some of the papers from the 6 x 8 paper stack, and lightly distressed the edges.  I used dimensional adhesive to lift up the edges of the wreath.

I rotated the wreath so that it was located on the left side of the page, and then I tucked my photo under it.I added more dimensional adhesive under the flowers that overlapped my photo.

I embellished with ‘Die Cut Ephemera’, ‘Accessory Stickers’, ‘Clear Stickers’ and ‘Enamel Dots’.

The Bloom title is from the ‘Foam Title Stickers’ and was so perfect for my photo.

I hope I have inspired you to use the wreath paper from this beautiful collection in a different orientation.

Have a great week

Melissa xx
