Hey everyone, here is a new layout for Simple Stories using
the gorgeous Heartstrings collection. I always love Valentine’s collections and
this one is no exception, I particularly love the colour palette, with pinks,
oranges and reds are just fabulous and I love the pops of blue and green too!
For this layout I wanted to showcase the papers, so I cut nine
hearts out of different papers. I distressed the edges of each one and raised
them on foam pads onto a white background. For the middle heart I wanted to
include a heart-shaped photo, so I used one of my hearts as a template to draw
around the part of the photo I wanted, and then hand-cut slightly within those
lines to make my photo slightly smaller than the patterned paper heart. This
way it had a nice border around the edge.
I then set about making each of my hearts into a mini scrapbook
page! Lots of the hearts have a small photo. We had a ‘gal-entines’ party for
my daughter and her friends – they go to a girls’ school so there are no
boyfriends on the scene so they decided to celebrate their gal friendships
instead! At the party we had cookie decorating, lots of pretty decorations,
pizza, music and lots of silly fun! So all the little photos show some of those
things.
I was worried the small photos were a little too big to go on
the hearts, but at the right angle they looked ok and the hearts still
maintained their heart-shape without too much being covered. Some of the hearts
contain titles from the Sentiment Bits, and the bottom right heart has a little
clipboard journaling spot, for me to write my journaling.
I added Floral Bits to each heart together with Bits &
Pieces, some of the small hearts from the Foam Stickers, Decorative Brads and
some phrase stickers from the Cardstock Stickers.
I finished off with a few splatters of black paint – I love
the pops of black in the collection so the black splatters were the perfect
addition!
I love how this one turned out! Happy scrapping
