Hello Friends, I am going to show you 2
of my latest layouts created using the NEW Bloom & Grow Collection from Simple Stories. This collection is super cute and fun. Imagine
little gnomes in the garden, or flying a kite? I love the navy blue with a touch
of yellow and red in this collection. I really couldn't wait to use it.
The first layout I'll be sharing is
called " Bloom & Grow "
My mother is a great gardener and her
thumbs are certainly green! She does an amazing job at planters, her garden
beds and has a way to make her garden look amazing. My dad certainly helps her
out but it's mostly done by my mom. This layout is just to showcase some of my
mom's garden and her love for greenery.
I created this page similar to a Life
Documented page. It's not in a page protector but it is on a piece of
cardstock. I cut out the 3x4 cards in the SN@P pack and trimmed them to
2.75x3.75 just to leave enough white space between cards and pictures.
This little SN@P pack has everything
you need to create a page similar to this. Of course you can add extras with
the Expressions and Fundamentals Stickers. You can add or use as little as you
wish based on your photos. If you aren't into Life Documenting why not try this
form of layout? You can add several pictures and of course lots of color to these
pages.
I love creating dimensional images on
my pages and this was no exception. I added foam adhesive in the back of the
photos to bring them out a bit from the pattern papers that are around it. It
just makes the image pop a bit.
You can see again in this picture how
the photos are elevated as well as some stickers. You can also do this on a
layout. Instead of having your picture flat on the paper why not add some
dimensional adhesive to make it stand out from the rest.

My Second layout for you today is
called "Let's Play Outside"
This photo was perfect for this
paper. Don't you love that when it happens? It just fits!
I also like that his tshirt says Play ;) Nope that wasn't planned!
I wanted to create layers and a fun
page using some cute chipboard pieces and of course little Gnomes. OMG aren't
those cute or what?! Some find them spooky and I must admit I don't think I
would have them in my garden, but on a scrapbook page I'm all for it !
I added sewing to this layout and of course
a cluster of embellishments on the left of the photo. This doesn't distract from the photo and adds
lots of dimension and texture to my page. I wanted to add several pieces of
paper so I created a circle and added another smaller sized circle on top of it
to create a border around it. I again
added foam adhesive to my photo to make it pop off the page a bit and placed
some of the bits & pieces under it to create dimension.
The title I created using a
silhouette cut file " play" and the alphas from the Expressions
Sticker Sheet. You could add more alphas instead of a cut file but I think this
looks great and matches the page quite well.
Here is a close up of the layout. You
can see I used some chipboard pieces and layered them on top of one another. I
also created some journal strips instead of a journal block. Aren't these colors so fun together ?
I hope you enjoyed my layouts today
