creating {non}sense: Love Here + Now

Hello everyone!! Today I want to share this page I created for Pretty Little Studio's blog using the brand new PLS designer collection from “Hello Heather” called "Here + There". And what an awesome collection this is! I adore the colors, the designs and all the gold elements. I used this fun photo of my daughter and her host sisters from last year. Because of all the blue colors in this photo I thought it was a perfect fit for this collection.

To create this layout I painted the white cardstock with pink watercolor paint and added a few drops of paint as well. While the cardstock dried I selected papers, a clear sheet and a 3×4 journaling card and layered these on top of each other. Using a small attacher I stapled these together and adhered the photo on top. Next I chose the large heart cut file from my own stash and adhered this too. When the cardstock had dried I adhered the little pile of papers with the photo & cut file and started decorating using some die-cuts like the flower, the flair, the word etc. and also added some handwritten journaling. Next came the little cluster in the bottom right corner and last but not least I added the machine stitching.

Flowers are not my “go to” embellishments, but I happily made an exception for these … aren’t they awesome?!

I’m a huge fan of flairs and use them on almost all of my layouts and this one is so fabulous!

I so adore the gold dipped die-cut hearts!!
