Hitchin Lavender - Paige Evans’ Garden Shoppe Collection

Hello, it’s Rebecca with you today sharing my final layout created with Paige Evans’ Garden Shoppe collection. I’ve used this collection to document a few summer photos now, as the bright colours are perfect - but I also think this collection could work for Autumnal layouts too - so that’s my next challenge! You can shop the full collection here.

I started with Paper #19 and cut a strip about 7 inches wide, tearing it diagonally along the bottom to add some texture. I placed this centrally onto a sheet of Premium White Cardstock - sticking the top flat, but raising the torn edge up on foam pads. To the top of this, I added the flower border sticker from the Accent and Phrase Stickers. I then replaced all the internal flowers, but raised up on foam to add a bit of interest. 

I matted my photo with a layer of the B Side of Paper #19 to coordinate with the colours in my photo, and placed it onto the layout, raised up with foam. 

I then moved on to embellishing the layout. The photo I’m documenting today is of my little boy sat among a field of lavender - so I wanted lots of florals on this page. The Floral Ephemera pack was perfect for this - I added a few flowers to the page, arranging them in  three clusters to create a visual triangle around my photo, and curled the edges up to add dimension. 

For my title, I selected some of the alphabet stickers from the Sticker Book. I went for a mixture of colours for ‘Hitchin’ to coordinate with the background paper, and then focused on the purples for the word ‘Lavender’. (The Lavender Farm is in a place called Hitchin!)

To complete the layout, I added a sprinkling of sequins among my floral clusters to add a bit of sparkle. 

Thank you for reading! I hope you’ve enjoyed this layout and the previous 2 I’ve created with the Garden Shoppe collection. I’ll be back next month, creating with Simple Stories ‘Harvest Market’ collection. 

Take care,
