Quick & Easy LayoutIt’s Heather again, back with a layout that came together SO quickly with the help of a cut file and some fussy cut flowers. Let’s get into it! The initial version of this page was inspired by a Paige Evans process video, which you can watch here. As in the process video, I started out with a mixed media background, using a mix of plain old watercolors and some Lindy's Gang Magical Powders. I used a white background with white hearts, which acted as a resist to all that watercolor. I also cut an ampersand cut file from Paige Evans, fussy cut some flowers, and arranged it all on my page. At this point, it looked like this: I liked it well enough, but I had one big problem: I just wasn't finding a picture that matched the light, airy vibe of the page. So I changed tack completely and swapped out my mixed media background for a gray hearts paper from the Maggie Holmes Round Trip collection. I kept my fussy cut Dear Lizzy flowers, added a black foam title, and matted two pictures of my sweet pups, Petra and Cayde-6. Here's how the final page turned out! I love how the bright flowers pop off the neutral background. A few puffy dots, a couple stickers, and little journaling card finish up the page! Should I have kept the mixed media background, or do you like the little black hearts? If you were a fan of the mixed media, never fear--I'm holding on to it for a future layout. Stay scrappy!
