I just love a cute basic patterned paper and I love it even more, having this paper in a TON of beautiful colors. We got the new Petite prints in 12x12 and 6x6 and I have to say... JUST BEAUTIFUL!! I was very excited to use them for this layout. I chose the Pistachio Candy Stripe-Sprinkles paper for my background as this color was just too pretty to use in small amounts... :)
I went through all of the colors of the Doodlebug rainbow, chose one Petite Print for each, and cut out a heart from each. I distressed all of them with my scissors. I placed the hearts on my paper and chose a fun way to display them. Some of them are overlapping, which gives it even more interest. I adhered the hearts using liquid glue and foam tape.
I matted the photo on a piece of lily white Petite Prints, distressed the edges and added it to the layout.
I wanted my title to be super colorful and whimsical. I grabbed all of my Doodlebug alpha stickers and used letters from all the different styles.
Next I added some little nests of colored thread behind some of the hearts. I like how it adds more color. I wanted to add a little more to the layout , so I trimmed the Pistachio Sprinkles paper on each side (around 1/2 inch) and then adhered it to the Lily White Sprinkles paper. I distressed the edges, bent them up slightly and added a doodled border all around.
I also drew borders on all of the hearts. To complete I added some Puffy Shaped Heart Stickers and Mini Jewels. I LOOOOOVE all of the pretty colors on this layout. Go get yourself some fun new Petite Prints, I'm sure you desperately need those in your stash...:) See you soon,
