Sweet.

Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing images of me building a layout. 
I used the lovely Scraptastic kit, add on and stamp set, Feel Again.
I started out by using some white embossing powder to emboss the adorable hearts from the stamp set and hand cut them out. (took forever but worth it!)

I then picked out five different color threads in blues and greens to use for my garlands

I went to use my sewing machine but the hearts are so little it jammed up. Instead I hand stitched each garland which took forever but I ended up liking it more than if I used the sewing machine. It allowed the phrases on the embossed hearts to stand out more :)

I made sure to add a knot at the bottom of each heart so they wouldn't slide around on the thread.

I laid each garland on my page one by one and attached it to the back using washi tape.

I secured a few of the hearts with some ATG tape so they wouldn't flip around

I picked out just a few embellishments for this page since I really want the garlands to stand out.

I layered my photo on a piece of tissue paper and layered that on a piece of patterned paper from the kit, clipped it together with a small clothes pin and added a die cut for my title. 

I then stuck my photo cluster to the page with some pop dots

I added a cute rub on from the add on kit underneath my photo and a clear heart to my photo cluster
