I included one of the chipboard hearts in this cluster also.įor my photo layers, I added a layer of the 'Patchwork' patterned paper behind the photo. The top left corner also contained a small cluster of embellishments, as I mentioned earlier, for the purpose of balance. I added a few small embellishments to the left of this including a fussy cut butterfly from the 'Mariposa' patterned paper. I kept it short and simple but clear enough to convey the message that I wanted to record. I added the journaling to one of the 'o' in the grid. To add further detail to these pieces I machine stitched through them and bent the upwards to add further dimension. I always love to finish my clusters off with tiny details like smaller embellishments. The cluster in the image below is made up of the gorgeous die cut ephemera pieces, some accessory stickers, a wood veneer heart and finished off with the smaller embellishments, enamel dots. To achieve balance on the page I created three main clusters which form a visual triangle. I really wanted to be able to showcase that paper design on a page. I couldn't go past the 'Grow Wild' marble design paper to cut them out on. I decided to mimic a tic tac toe board for this layout as a feature on the page. For the layout design I was inspired by the xo cut files available in the Cocoa Vanilla Store.

Hubby is not a romantic at all really, so this gesture was a lovely and unexpected and I just had to record it in my scrapbook. On this page I am documenting a photo of roses that hubby brought me for valentines day this year. Since February is the month of Love I decided to create another page on that theme, why not right? Hey everyone, it's Raquel here with you today sharing a new layout with you all featuring the new and amazing Wild at Heart collection.
