I created this layout for Simple Stories using the Bloom & Grow Collection. Love the colors in this kit and that wood grain paper -- fabulous!
I started with the wood grain
background paper called "dig it" This as my base makes it easy to add
assorted colors from this collection while not making my page too busy. I added tons of flower diecuts and subtitle
using the word lovely with a word sticker.
Adding some sewing to my layouts is
something i've done for quite some time and the little thread bunched under my
photos was inspired by Missy Whidden. I love the little extra detail it gives
to my page. I usually add some form of twine but I avoided that this time and created
texture with this thread.
Journal Strips are easy to do since I am more
comfortable journaling this way compared to journal tags or other. I type my
journaling on a word doc and print it on a 4x6 piece of cardstock and then cut
up to make strips. Most of my layouts have this form of journaling.
I cannot leave a page unfinished
without adding dimensions. Of course I used my dimensional adhesive under the
flower diecuts! One must always use popdots!
