Sweet Safari Backyard Adventure!
Close to My Heart has a fun vibrant new paper collection perfect for your backyard adventures, zoo trips, or sweet memories of your little ones. I was pretty excited to scrapbook these photos of my boys. It was a simple moment in time that makes me smile just to think of it. Surrounded by ferns, my boys were pretending they were in Jurassic Park and at any moment a T-Rex would spring from the lush foliage. The shrieks and laughter were contagious! I am happy to have finally recorded this special memory.
I’ll admit I almost passed this paper packet by as it gives off a vibe perfect for babies. I have very few baby photos left to scrapbook. I am so glad I didn’t though. Turns out I have so many pictures that work well with this paper pack. I may need to order a second! I
Note the little pennant banner in the top right hand corner. I created this with left overs and Waterfall Stickles Glitter Gel. It is a simple embellishment that makes a big statement on the page. It is perfect for incorporating pops of color and utilizing those leftovers. I utilized the dies in the Pennant Banner Alphabet stamp set to cut all the assorted flags.

Happiness Lives Here
The Happiness Lives Here collection is truly a ray of sunshine. The cheerful Canary yellow and gorgeous Blue Belle blue is a color palette to swoon over! I have created several layouts with these papers but this one is my favorite. I absolutely love visiting the ocean so naturally, I am excited about the pictures. The Sunshine title is from the coordinating sticker sheet as well as the other embellishments on the page. I did fussy cut a few of the Picture My Life cards to add to the mix.
I love layering stickers to create embellishment clusters to complement my photos. The cute circular sticker was perfect because the sun rays mimicked the sunburst stenciling radiating out from the title. Little details working together is scrapbooking bliss. Check out the youtube video below to see this layout come together.
Below is a closer look at all the pretty patterned papers in this collection along with the coordinating sticker sheet. I have become a big fan of the stickers because they make for super quick yet stunning layouts. I always add in the Picture My Life cards (PLM) as well. They can be used for layering elements behind the photo, title options, or fussy cut and used as embellishments.
Here in the gallery below are pictures of another fun layout I created from this collection. A double page spread featuring family game night snapshots. You can see I was able to capture an entire different look on this layout. I have always loved the versatility of these paper packs. If you don’t particularly care for one pattern or color, flip it over and you have another choice. Who doesn’t love options?
Thank you so much for stopping by and visiting my website. I hope you found a little inspiration in today’s layouts and set aside some time to get crafty. Have a wonderful day!
