Happy. Go. Lucky. | Poppin' Tags with A Charmed Life & DIY Boutique

Hi Simple Stories friends. It's Heather and I'm here to share a couple of projects I made using A Charmed Life and DIY Boutique collections.

Happy. Go. Lucky. | A Charmed Life

I absolutely LOVE to stitch on my layouts and this one (and the one below) are no exception. To create this layout, grab your A Charmed Life supplies and do the following:

Cut the 6x12 Page Elements (Hearts) Paper in half to use on the right side of the page
Cut the Navy Stripe Paper at 8"x12". Machine stitch in different places along the stripes with navy thread to get a tone on tone effect.
Adhere the stitched navy paper to the left side of plain cardstock.
Adhere the heart paper to the right side overlapping the navy.
Cut small strips of the Happy. Go. Lucky paper and adhere where the paper seams meet.
Using the Green Stripes, Happy Times papers, along with 3x4 snaps cards and the tag from the Bits & Pieces, distress and layer them under your photo.
Cut the Happy. Go. Lucky. card from the Insta squares into individual banners. Staple over the photo.
Add embellishments (chipboard, die cuts, fussy cut elements) to your page. Use pop dots of various sizes to add dimension.
Add a journaling spot and you are done!

"Poppin' Tags" PageMaps Layout | DIY Boutique

I love working with sketches so when the opportunity to worj with Becky Fleck's March PageMaps presented itself, I jumped at the opportunity. The sketch was perfect for documenting a girl's weekend with some of my favorite scrappy friends. The DIY Boutique collection, with it's bright colors and great sentiments, was a sure fit for fun times with friends.

To create this layout, take a peek at the PageMaps sketch and follow these easy steps:

Trim a 1/2" inch off the top and one side of the grey woodgrain paper.
Center over the polka dot paper and adhere.
Stitch a 9" diameter circlein the upper right of the page, approximately 1 1/2" from the top of the grey and 1/4" from the right. TIP:Draw your circle in light pencil first to use as a stitching guide. Erase after you've sewn on the page.
Cut a 6" diameter circle out of the bright pink paper.
Cut a 5" circle out of the black/white polka dot. Adhere inside the pink circle. TIP: This is the B side of the pink paper so I cut these at the same time by simply cutting them inside each other. I just flipped the middle over and it was a perfect fit inside the pink circle.
Stitch it to the layout overlapping the larger stitched circle as well as overlapping the black polka dot on the side.
Cut frames out of the frame paper in the 6x6 paper pad. Arrange them around your photo.
Embellish with sentiments, stickers, brads, etc.
Add cards to the top and bottom to pull the layout together.
Embellish with more stickers, enamel dots, brads, mist, etc.
Add your title and journaling to complete the page.
