Christmas Cheer | Heart & Home Collection | Michelle Stokes
Hello Hello, Michelle here with you today to share a super quick layout featuring the Heart & Home Collection. This Christmas creation came together using elements from the Collection that are just the right shades and patterns to pass as a Christmas Collection.
I’ve documented a photo of our House Elf Twinkle as I am running low on festive photos. I generally live in the moment at Christmas time and forget to pick up the camera.
I kept the background super simple and just layered some pattern paper strips together to create a base for the photo, with the addition of some string wrapped around them to hang a cluster of embellishments from. As there were no pattern/ colour clashes with the photo and collection used I was able to print it in colour at roughly 3.5×4.5 size. I adhered it straight to the paper stack using foam for slight dimension.
I added cut apart pieces to the photo and the large cluster to the left of photo, then created bunches of floral pieces in 3 separate clusters around the top half of the photo/ paper layer stack.
The florals and leaf stems are perfect colours for Christmas Scrapping, without using the traditional style of christmas products. These colours together represent a soft Christmas themed palette compared to the brighter more traditional colours.
Once I added the tag to the twine I tied it up in a bow and added tiny glue spots to keep the strings in formation
I created the title using some of my beloved white alpha stickers from years ago, altering them with some glitter glue for a touch of sparkle, plus some mini alpha stickers and handwriting for a more personal touch
Lastly I splattered the entire layout with gold ink and called it done. Heres a final look at the entire layout…
Well friends thats all from me today, thanks so much for stopping by.
I hope you all have a magical festive season with your loved ones, and that you can squeeze in a little crafty time here and there.
Until next time, Happy Scrapping
