Family Moment Captured | Heart & Home Collection | Michelle Stokes
Hey Crafty Peeps! It’s Michelle here today with a new layout share for you all and I’m so excited about this one as its using our NEW collection Heart & Home. This collection is absolutely stunning with all its pretty florals, soft colour palette and sweet sentiments.
As this was the first layout I’ve made with the collection, I felt I needed to use some extra special photos. I found a couple of sweet family snaps from a few years back that were in need of a new layout base and I think now that its complete, I may add it to a shadow box frame and display in our living area.
I kept the base of the layout very simple by using a strip of the GOLDEN FIELDS paper across the width of white cardstock background, with machine stitching for added detail. I then built the photo cluster on the right side of this.
Under the main photo I’ve used pieces of FALL BEAUTY & LEAF LITTER with pieces from the ACCESSORY STICKERs, EPHEMERA PACK and GATHER cut apart sheet tucked in for good measure.
The smaller photo has been framed using the smaller square frame in the EPHEMERA pack and popped up using foam for a little dimension
I created the title using a GOLD FOIL TITLE word and a piece from the EPHEMERA pack layered above one big beautiful floral cluster. I chose florals from both the BOUNTIFUL paper and SPECIALTY PRINTED VELLUM to fussy cut and layer together, with the addition of some puffy dots from the PUFFY STICKERS pack to complete the cluster
I do love to create a mixed title using different elements of a collection. Tell me in the comments what your favourite way to create titles?
I made a second smaller cluster in the top corner of the layout using elements from the larger group. I even gave it a “handmade” touch by creating a faux cross stitch frame using the cute hearts from the GATHER paper and a larger frame from the EPHEMERA pack. I think it turned out pretty sweet
Lastly I gave the layout a sprinkling of gold ink around the clusters for a little extra detail
Heres another look at the whole layout
Well friends, thats all from me today. Thanks so much for stopping by to check out the first layout I’ve created using the new HEART & HOME collection. It was a joy to create, and I hope its something that inspires you to get your craft on!
Until next time, Happy Scrapping!
