Together | Joyful Collection | Laura Alberts

Hey y’all! Laura Alberts here with a sweet Christmas layout using the gorgeous new Joyful collection. I fussy cut this stunning wreath from the Holly Days patterned paper and backed it onto the Feeling Festive paper. I love the way these little dots give the appearance of confetti bursting around the wreath! In addition to giving this wreath a 3D look by backing it on a different patterned paper, this fussy cut background brings the attention straight in to the photos.

For my title, I used the gold puffy words from the Joyful collection to add a simple ‘Together’ to the top of the wreath and drew my journaling lines underneath. This filled in the open white space above my photos and gave it a purpose. To add details to the wreath itself, I added gold Nuvo drops in the centers and white Nuvo drops around the outside. These tiny gold stars from the puffy words sheet were the perfect scattering bits to finish off this page!

Along the bottom of my photos, I added a swag of florals that I fussy cut from the Tis the Season patterned paper. This covered the connection between the photos and the bottom of the wreath and helped them blend more seamlessly together. My favourite part though was adding these puffy gold fabric stars around the wreath. These are such a beautiful touch to this collection!
