HELLO AGAIN EVERYDAY LIFE LAYOUT | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna Lepper here today with another layout using the super gorgeous Hello Again collection. I'm so in love with this collection and I'm so inspired by all of the beautiful elements in it. Here's my page:

When I received the collection, I was so excited to see the Gold Dots Heavy Weight Acetate and knew that I wanted to create some sequin shakers with it. I took the circle die cut pieces from the Bits & Pieces pack and punched holes in the centers of each one. I cut and adhered the acetate to the backs of them to create windows for the shakers. I then adhered foam tape around the perimeter and filled each one with sequins in coordinating colors.

Here's a closer look at the sequin shakers. I LOVE how they turned out and that acetate is beautiful!! Sequin shakers are so fun to make and they can be made out of almost anything.

For this layout, I decided to use a larger photo than I normally use and adhered it right in the center of my page. I arranged my shakers on a diagonal and used a phrase from the Chit Chat pack for my title. I adhered it at the top of my photo and ended up really liking how everything was placed.

I used a piece of white cardstock as my base and to add even more color from this gorgeous collection, I trimmed down two strips of The Bright Side 12x12 paper and placed them on the top and bottom of my page. I also chose a few phrase banner pieces from the Chit Chat pack and adhered them to those strips.

I embellished using a mixture of the Icons and Mini Icons Stickers, Puffy Icons and the Odds & Ends pack. I tucked and layered each piece and made sure I spread out the colors in each cluster.

For some finishing touches, I added in some tangled thread and a few of the Hello Again Sprinkles. I also added my daughters name directly onto my photo using the gorgeous Gold Alphabet Soup Puffy Stickers.
