Alexandria is back up today showing her process to make an adorable layout using the No Place Like Home collection. Here she is!
To start I pulled out my very messy tray of supplies. From the tray I pull out a few pieces I think I might want to use. I have an idea in my head, but I'm not entirely sure how it's going to work.
I cut some triangles from the pattern papers and a circle from one of the journal cards. I made a triangle template from a scrap of white paper.
I pick a photo and fussy cut some houses from one of the pattern papers. I stamp out "home sweet home" and fussy cut it. And of course smudge the ink a little bit, but it's fine.
I put everything together on a piece of white cardstock from my stash. I aligned the triangles long the middle in an intentionally mis-aligned row. I decided to mount it on the fur paper because it tied into the cat picture and I love how it tied everything together in the end. I arranged the other pieces around the page and scattered some confetti hearts. To get them a little more random I simply sprinkled a bunch in the general area I wanted them, removed the ones that didn't follow the line I wanted to create, and added a few where necessary and used a bit of glue to stick them down. I tried a glue pen this time (previously used glue dots) and it seems to be holding well. I stapled the large cork hearts down, added the date and a bit of journaling.
Thank you so much to Alexandria for sharing her incredible work today! If you would like to be further inspired by her, be sure to check out her blog and Instagram.
