HELLO AGAIN YOU & ME LAYOUT | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna Lepper here today and I'm so EXCITED to share my very first layout using the absolutely stunning Hello Again collection. This collection has such a pretty color palette with pops of gold foil. I am in LOVE with it and I had the best time creating with it. Here's my page, I hope that you like it!

I wanted to highlight the colors in the collection so I created a simple mixed media background by ink blending a few Distress Oxide inks that coordinated with this collection. I used Saltwater Taffy, Kitsch Flamingo, Salvaged Patina and Squeezed Lemonade. I also splattered on some Heidi Swapp Gold Color Shine to bring in more pops of gold.

I then pulled out the coordinating Hello Again stamp set and stamped out the butterfly a few times around the page. Next, I pulled out a few papers from the 6x6 Paper Pad and tore into them at an angle. I made sure to place them in between my stamped butterflies and distressed their edges before adhering them down.

This collection has so many gorgeous embellishments and I had such a great time creating my embellishment clusters. I chose a few pieces from both the Odds & Ends, Chit Chat and Bits & Pieces packs and grouped them together. I popped some up on foam tape to give them dimension and interest. The hanging plants are my favorite!!!!

I matted my photo and placed it towards the right side of my paper layers. I wanted a little more color and some softness to my page, so I pulled out one of the Mini Paper Doilies in Mint and layered them under the patterned paper layers. My title came from the Chit Chat pack and I turned it on its side and adhered it right on top of my photo.

Here's another embellishment cluster. All of the pops of gold foil are just so stunning on this page. I tucked in a few of the super cute Gold Sprinkles and a few of the All Aflutter Shape Sprinkles. I love butterflies and these are the perfect additions to my clusters.

Lastly, I added in a few bits of tangled thread to add more texture to my page. I love all of the layers and soft colors on this layout. This collection is so sweet and was perfect to document this photo of my daughter in her wrap. She's a contact napper and I spend most of my day wearing her. Such a sweet memory to scrapbook!
