My Happy Place | Heart & Home Collection | Laura Alberts

Hey y’all! Laura Alberts here with a fun autumn layout using the new Heart & Home collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studio. These lovely photos worked beautifully with the color scheme of Heart & Home, especially the vellum florals! I started this one using multiple chipboard circle templates that I created in various sizes using bowls from my house. Cutting out circles in these beautiful patterned papers made for a quick and easy background!

Each of the circles are outlined in black gel pen with a few faux stitching marks. In the top left circle, I positioned two photos with the first part of my title and tucked a journaling spot from the cut apart sheet underneath. I added a mix of ephemera, fussy cut, and vellum florals on the right side for a simple cluster.

In the top right corner, I built a large cluster using a frame from the ephemera pack and backed it with a cut apart. The floral cluster added depth by layering ephemera florals above the frame and vellum florals below. This gives the cluster a dynamic look despite how flat it actually is!

In the bottom right corner, I let one of my photos go off the page and trimmed it. This functions as the second-half of the title, but also gives a third point of interest on the page. These photos didn’t need a lot of embellishing, so I kept this cluster simple.

And just to add a little extra something fun to the last circle, I added a medium sized cluster with both vellum, ephemera, and fussy cut florals. Love how this one turned out! I hope this layout inspires you to find a new way to incorporate household items into your scrapbooking!
