HELLO AGAIN LET'S STAY HOME LAYOUT | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna Lepper here with y'all today sharing another layout using the Hello Again collection. I"m so excited to share it!! I had this photo of my three kids that I've been wanting to document and I knew this collection would be the perfect one for it. Here's my page:

I decided to print my photo a littler bigger than I usually do since it's currently one of my favorites. I printed it at 4x4 when I usually print them at 2x3. I thought it would be fun to put it right in the center of my layout and embellish around the borders. So, I took a piece of white cardstock and trimmed it down to an 11x11. I then matted it using the 12x12 Butterfly Garden paper and then ran it through my sewing machine using pink thread and a zig zag stitch. I love the pops of black from the floral centers and the butterflies!

Next, I pulled out several floral pieces from the Bits & Pieces pack and popped them all up on foam tape. I arranged them on the four corners of the white cardstock and adhered them down. I also added a few cute houses from the Puffy Icons sticker sheet. They look so cute on top of the florals!

Next, I matted my photo with one of the 6x6 patterned papers and centered it on the page. I did move it up just a bit so that I could add my title from the Chit Chat pack as well as a larger floral piece from the Bits & Pieces pack right under it. I popped my title up on foam so that it would stand out even more. I'm loving the large photo and large title on this page!

I wanted to add some shine and bits of color so I pulled out the All Aflutter and Hello Again Shape Sprinkles and added them in here and there. I love that they're smaller elements and look so cute tucked into different spots. I also pulled in a few phrase stickers from the Cardstock Sticker sheet and popped them up on foam tape for some dimension.

Lastly, I added in a few of the super cute cake plate stickers from the Icons Sticker sheet and tucked them under my title. They filled in that space so nicely and it really brought everything together.

Here's one last look at this beautiful page. I LOVE all of the pops of black and gold in this collection!!

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope that I inspired you in some way! Have you tried scrapping a different size photo than your usual go to size? It's fun to change things up, especially when the photo is one of your favorites and you want it front and center! I'll see you in my next post friends!
