There's something so classic about a red, white, and blue color palette, and the Hometown USA collection makes it even more special with beautiful silver foil accents that add just the right amount of sparkle!
For this layout, I wanted to create a bold focal point, so I started by using nested star-shaped dies to cut several stars from the patterned papers in the 6x6 paper pad. To give them extra dimension, I layered each star with foam adhesive. On three of the stars, I added stitching using coordinating silver thread, which ties in perfectly with the silver foil details throughout the collection while adding a fun bit of texture.
I arranged the stars along the left side of a sheet of white cardstock and then created a playful background by using an entire pack of the star spangled shape sprinkles. They add so much interest while reinforcing the patriotic theme of the collection.
My 4x6 photo is matted with both white cardstock and the blue polka dot pride patterned paper to help it stand out from the background. I finished the page with title words from the Chit Chat pack, along with a few additional embellishments from the Bits & Pieces pack, including a tab, plus a banner from the Chit Chat pack to complete the design.
One of my favorite things about this layout is how quickly it came together! Every patterned paper you see was cut from the 6x6 paper pad with exception of the blue polka dot. It's a great reminder that you can create a layered, eye-catching scrapbook page using just the smaller paper pad and a few coordinating embellishments.
I hope this layout inspires you to pull out the Hometown USA collection and document your own favorite patriotic memories!
