Hello, Kristin – I’m here to share a 12×12″ Life Documented Layout showcasing a photo of my Great Aunt Justyna and friends at a luncheon. I used my favorite adhesives from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and a beautiful paper line by Simple Stories.
Creating the Background
I started with a sheet of patterned paper from the Simple Stories, Simple Vintage Life in Bloom collection. The soft purple background creates a pretty frame around the rest of the page. Next, I added several pieces of coordinating patterned paper to a sheet of white cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser. I put a strip of adhesive on each square so that I could hand-stitch vertically through each square. I love how this created a layered collage behind the photo.
Adding the Photo and Embellishments
I added several butterflies, flowers, vintage labels, button stickers, and other embellishments. For even more dimension, I used 3D Foam Squares White Mix to lift several of the embellishments from the page. To make sure that photo was well adhered to the photo mat, I used the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.
Finishing Touches
The combination of vintage patterns, florals, butterflies, and soft colors gives this scrapbook page a beautiful heirloom feel. To give the page a small bit of sparkle, I tucked some gold thread behind a few of the embellishment clusters. Using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® foam and adhesive made it easy to securely attach my layers while adding dimension to the design.
Thank you for visiting! 💕✂️
