Our Story | Storyteller collection | Mandy Melville

Hello everyone!

Mandy here today to share a new layout featuring the fabulous new Storyteller collection! I’m loving how versatile this collection is – it’s perfect for documenting so many different themed photos. For my layout today I chose to scrapbook a photo of my hubby and I. We recently booked a ‘Mystery Picnic’ date and had so much fun discovering new places and collecting lots of delicious food for our picnic along the way. I was keen to get this selfie that we took on the day scrapbooked, and the Storyteller collection was the perfect choice for this photo.

I started my layout off with the lovely blue Ditsy Daisy paper as my background. I then cut a circle, approximately 9 inches in diameter, out of a sheet of white cardstock. I then matted the circle with the woodgrain Cross it Off paper, added some machine stitching around the edge, and adhered it the centre of the page.

Next I matted my photo with three different papers from the A5 Paper Stack, adding some craft foam between the layers for extra dimension. I also tucked a Die Cut frame under the bottom right hand corner of the photo and added a little banner Sticker along the bottom edge of the photo.

For my title I decided on using the phrase ‘Our Story’ from the Foam Title Stickers. I love how this really pops! These stickers are so beautiful and versatile, and make it so easy to add a title to your layouts. Underneath the title I added a couple of little word stickers.

For my embellishing I couldn’t go past using some gorgeous fussy cut florals from the Spring Fling paper. I created a beautiful floral cluster on the bottom left hand corner of the photo, layering together various fussy cut flowers. Again I used some foam tape for added dimension when adhering some of the flowers.

I balanced this cluster out with another one on the top right hand corner of the photo, using more fussy cut florals from the Spring Fling paper. I then scattered a few die cut hearts around the floral clusters to finish the layout off.

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today! I hope you enjoyed taking a closer look at my layout.
