Hi scrappy friends! Monique Lowe here with a monochrome layout to share! Today’s layout was made as a gift for a lovely relative who recently lost her soulmate.
I’ve carefully chosen colors that I thought she would like rather than my usual bold color palette. Paige's Love Heart cut file was the perfect frame for these cherished photos and for the beautiful patterned papers I did a deep dive into my stash of Paige Evans supplies! My search took me all the way back to the Pick-Me-Up and Truly Grateful collections – both of which offered the perfect shades of green and blue. To start, I cut the Love Heart from Paper 20 from Truly Grateful. I used my piercing tool to add evenly spaced holes through the center of the word "love" followed by hand stitching in a slightly darker shade of embroidery thread. Using foam squares and liquid adhesive, I stuck this to down onto the background patterned paper. Next, I cut the photos into hearts, backed them and machine stitched around the edges, and nestled the main photo behind the cut file. For embellishments, I fussy cut butterflies from Paper 14 from Pick-Me-Up and pretty foliage form Paper 5 from Truly Grateful and used these to create three delicate clusters around the photos. To continue the love theme, I added a few hearts in various shades of blue and green using the reverse side of the scraps from the Love Heart cut file. Last but not least, I extended the title using Mini Foam Thickers and finished off my layout with some gold splatters. Thank you so much for joining me today and taking a look at my sentimental layout using the Love Heart cut file. I hope you feel inspired to document those precious people in your life too.
