You are my heart – Layout by Michelle Lee

Hello, 49 & Market Friends!

I’m thrilled to be sharing my first layout using the brand new Toddler Time collection. It’s a beautiful collection with muted colors and adorable graphics, perfect for preserving memories of your little ones.

For my layout I chose the B-side of the “Cats & Dogs” paper from the Toddler Time 12×12 paper collection. I started by anchoring my design with a film strip from Nature Study Filmstrip Frames pack from my stash.

Next I layered my staggered photos using a few pieces from the Toddler Time Ephemera Bits pack, using thin cardboard between the layers for added dimension. After gluing the photo layers to the background I added some rub-ons from the Toddler Time Blendable Rub-on Transfers pack to bring some of the teal color into the background. Then I began building clusters to frame the photos.

I chose to focus on the peach and teal combo so I pulled a few different icons, tickets, and buttons from the Toddler Time Laser Cut Icons pack. I layered the pieces with flowers from a pack of Wildflowers as well as a pack of Florets in Pacific. I love layers and tucking little added details among my clusters. Finishing off my design with some splatters of acrylic paint and a few random sequins.
