Hey all - it's Meg here today sharing a layout using the very sweet Happy Hearts collection by Simple Stories!
I just LOVE Simple Stories collections, they're always so bold, bright and versatile and Happy Hearts is no exception.
This page was a really fun page to put together and I absolutely just went with the flow - I started by fussy cutting a strip of the roses from the Sweetheart paper. I often start by fussy cutting and inspiration will strike afterwards!
I decided to do a vertical layout and I tore a strip of the Sweet On You paper and vellum to layer on top of the fussy cut Sweetheart roses, which I stitched on top of and I distressed some of the edges. I tore another smaller piece of Sweet On You to go on the opposite side of the page, to balance it out a little.
I had some photos already picked out to go with this collection and so I sifted through and picked out this one with my husband and son on our wedding day, which is one of my most favourite photos ever! I double matted it with white cardstock and vellum before adhering it to the page and embellishing around it.
At this point I decided to use some watercolours to just add a little green and pink on the page behind the roses, then I began sticking down word phrases from the Combo Stickers sheet and the packet of Bits And Pieces. The title 'I Heart You' actually came from the Combo Stickers sheet but I added the 'Heart' from the Foam Stickers sheet on top to add some extra dimension. The 'Happy Heart Day' and 'xoxoxo' stickers were from the pack of foam stickers too.
I then focused on the little cluster on the right hand side of the page, popping up a little 'Love You' van from the Bits And Pieces pack plus a few stickers from the Combo Stickers sheet.
And voila! I added some journaling and the page was finished.
I really hope you like my page as much as I enjoyed creating it! Thank you for stopping by :-)
Take care,
Meg x
