Heart This Girl

Hi everyone! Today I want to share I layout I posted over on the Scraptastic Club Blog using the March Lost In My Mind kit and add on
There was a discussion over in the forum talking about using a white background. I know some people are over it or think it's boring but I'm still in love it with. I tend to get stuck when I use a solid bold color as my starting point and if I use a patterned background I find myself using less embellishments on the page. I like to keep the focus on the photo while adding lots of tiny details. 
Here's my page with my white background.

I used three colors of Heidi Swapp mists to add some color to the page. I layered some pretty papers and embellishments, stamped a couple things and I was happy.

IMG_9695-002
I used the Lost In My Mind stamp set and stamped "this" with some Heidi Swapp ink and cut out a couple flowers from a patterned paper to use as embellishments.

I made a little butterfly embellishment using a wood veneer piece from the kit, a stamp from my stash and a cute wood/enamel dot from the kit. 

So what are your thoughts on a white background? I would love to hear. Are you growing tired of it? For me it's something that is timeless and I'm sure I will continue to use a white page with the occasional patterned background here and there. 
Thanks so much for stopping by!

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
IMG_9649

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
IMG_9656

I picked out just a few embellishments for this page since I really want the garlands to stand out. 
IMG_9658
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

And here is the finished page!
