Happy | Heart & Home collection | Tarrah McLean

Hi creative friends!

It’s Tarrah back with you to share a new scrapbook layout featuring the gorgeous new Heart & Home collection! This collection is so gorgeous and perfect for documenting outdoor themed projects as well as thankful, home and Autumn/Fall themed projects! Heck its suitable for any type of project really!

I am documenting a recent photo taken on an adventure with my love. I take photos of us every chance I get!

I started by choosing an Autumn Leaf cut file from CUT to YOU and cut this out from plain white cardstock. I did resize it down slightly and then cut it out. I then adhered the cut file to the yellow/mustard coloured paper from the A5 paper stack. I fussy cut around the edges and then placed it to the side while I created the rest of the layout. I took a plain sheet of white cardstock, as I mostly start with, I took the ‘Flurry paper’ ( I love this paper!!) and tore it in half horizontally. I then adhered this to the top half of the white cardstock, I did leave the adhesive off the bottom  in case I decided to tuck anything at the bottom, which I did decide to do. I cut the bottom strip of rainbow diagonal stripes off the bottom of the ‘Gather paper’ and adhered this piece down.

Once the strip was adhered, you can see in the close up photo above that I rolled the edges of the tear part of the ‘Flurry paper’ to add some texture to my page and to reveal the paper on the other side, I love how this paper blends in with the diagonal stripes perfectly. I took the cut file that I finished earlier and using craft foam underneath for dimension, I adhered it overlapping the papers on the page and slightly over to the right hand side to leave some room on the left side for a title and some embellishments. I then placed my photo right on top of the cut file, I love how this adds an extra layer between the background and the photo. On top of the photo I adhered a phrase die-cut piece from the Ephemera pack and tucked in at the top the heart speech bubble die-cut. I cut some of the banner pieces from the ‘Gather paper’ and adhered one on the right hand side, tucked in behind the cut file and the other on the left hand side, underneath the sticker that says, ‘Another Perfect Moment Captured’ from the Accessory Sticker Sheet.

I also adhered the Simple Joys circle die-cut from the Ephemera Pack using craft foam on the right hand side and took a small phrase sticker and placed this above the circle die-cut. My title is one of the gorgeous gold foiled cardstock titles, I chose the word ‘Happy’ and adhered this to the left of my photo using craft foam to add some more dimension. I also added a few more of the small black and white word and phrase stickers from the Accessory Sticker Sheet around my page. I love to add these to my layouts as I do not journal all that much on my pages, adding these helps to tell the story of the photo and capture the moment a bit more. Next I took some of the leaves from the Floral Ephemera pack and tucked in a few of these around the cut file to extend on the cut file and bring the Autumn leaves from the paper above down to the bottom of the layout. I love how these look tucked in all around the cut file.

The Puffy Stickers are just SOOO beautiful so they definitely had to be added to my layout too! I placed most of these down amongst the Autumn Leaf die-cuts, placing some of the circle ones tucked under leaves and the heart ones out for all to see! Lastly stamped the date stamp as I always do and then I added some sprinkles of Gold Heidi Swapp Colour Shine.

I love the detail, the design, the dimension and the collection! It is SO easy to work with and you too can create pretty projects!
