Truly Grateful by Monique!

Hello friends of My Creative Scrapbook! It's Monique here today sharing a step-by-step for one of the layouts I created with the October Main Kit. I think this kit is my favorite to date! It's filled with the awesome "Truly Grateful" collection from Paige Evans/Pink Paislee. I love how colorful this kit is!

A few weeks we had this furry sweetie joining our family and of course I only want to scrap her photos now. Here's what I made:


And here's how I created this page. I gathered all my supplies:


I used some templates from my stash (Technique Tuesday) to draw 6 different sized hearts and hand cut them:





I adhered the largest heart on my layout and machine stitched two times around it: 



Next I glued the other hearts on top with just the minimum of adhesive, machine stitched right through the middle and folded the sides a little upwards:


I love that all the papers in this collection have two awesome sides! Before I stitched the hearts in place I had a hard time choosing which side should go up! 
Next I decorated the inside of the top heart with words from the Truly Grateful cardstock sticker sheet:



After decorating the heart a bit more with some of the Truly Grateful puffy stickers I started on the photo of my puppy. I printed a square 10 cm x 10 cm photo of her and matted it on a piece of patterned paper. Both at the bottom and at the top of the photo I added a die-cut with a few puffy stickers:



In the right bottom corner of my layout I added a few more cardstock and puffy stickers and the date stamp:


On the right side of the hearts I added a few more die-cuts and puffy stickers and around the entire layout I drew a black line.  


A few drops of ink and my page is done!  

Thank you so much for visiting the MCS blog! I hope you have enjoyed my step-by-step.
