JOYFUL

Hello all! Hope everyone is well during this crazy time. I've been taking this time to just scrapbook and relax. It's been nice, being stuck in the house for a change. I've just been able to focus on ME. Today, I'm sharing another layout I created using Simple Stories' Simple Vintage Garden District Collection. For this layout, I wanted to play with the stamps a bit... mainly the floral stamps!

To begin, I cut a patterned paper from the 6x8 Paper Pad to measure 8x4. Then I used a ruler and black pen to draw a 1/4" border around the layout. I stamped the flowers at the bottom left-side of the layout and the top right-side of the layout to use as a photo corner.

I embellished the layout using several Floral Bits and Pieces and Decorative Brads. I even managed to add  a piece of washi after cutting the washi in half so it was not too big.

Normally, I would hand-journal on my layouts, but the sentiments from the Bits and Pieces and stamps was enough. These embellishments look so pretty together. I used a tiny stapler to staple the heart directly onto the photo.

And here is the completed layout. That green is sooooo pretty. I just love the color scheme of this collection and the patterns. I have one more layout I created using this collection and then I will be moving on to Vicki Boutin's latest collection for a fun mixed media layout.

Thanks for visiting today!
