Hello creative friends! Monique Lowe here, popping in with a fresh new layout created with Paige’s Crafted Moments collection. This one was such a joy to make - colorful, textured, and full of those cosy, whimsical details that make this collection shine.
To build the background, I started by cutting five patterned paper strips about 1.5" wide and in varying lengths. I distressed all the edges for that soft, worn texture, then lined them up vertically on a sheet of 12x12 white textured cardstock. Once I was happy with the placement, I stitched each strip down the center to add movement and a handmade touch. Next, I grabbed a border punch and created a few white cardstock strips. I tucked these behind the patterned papers along with some torn pieces of Create Your Way Paper from the 6x8 Paper Pad. I backed my photo with the same patterned paper for cohesion, popped it up on foam squares, and then the embellishing fun began. Wherever I had tucked in torn paper or border strips, I added Floral Die Cuts, matching the colors of the florals to the patterned paper beneath them for a tone-on-tone design. To finish the page, I sprinkled in butterflies, a sunshine, and a few sentiment tabs from the Ephemera Die Cuts. A handful of Puffy Stickers and Enamel Shapes added the perfect finishing touches along with a few coordinating paint splatters. For my title, I reached for the Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers - small but mighty and always adorable. Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope this layout inspires you to dive into Crafted Moments and create something beautiful of your own!
