Write your own Story | Heart & Home collection | Rachel Lowe
Happy New Year crafty friends!
My layout, using the beautiful Heart & Home collection is about documenting some goals for 2024 (I will add some handwriting to the journal card).
I found this book cut file in the Silhouette Design store and cut it in black for impact. I cut the white cardstock down to 9 inches square and added to the beautiful Bountiful Paper. I added black machine stitching to add definition between the floral and white papers. I next added splatters of black paint to the white cardstock to break up the white.
I used the puffy alpha stickers to create my title which I added to the book pages. I used Golden Fields paper to create my layered butterflies. I used foam tape to layer them and used the puffy stickers to add hearts to them. I arranged them so they appear to be flying off the page.
I created a small embellishment cluster at the top left of my page using the die cut ephemera.
I matted my photo on a paper piece from the A5 paper pad and machine stitched a border in black. I added to my page with foam tape and before securing I tucked to the left the journal card ‘the story’ from the die cut ephemera pack. Lastly I added a floral bunch using the flowers from the floral die cut ephemera at the top of my photo and journal card. My photo size is 3×4 inches but you could certainly add a larger photo. I used thee puffy sticker dots for the centre of these flowers.
I created another small embellishment cluster to the bottom right of my photo to balance my layout.
You could add more photos and more journalling using the puffy alpha stickers. You could also paper piece the book if you wanted to add another colour to the layout.
As always thank you for stopping by and happy 2024 to you all!
