I really love collections like HEART STRINGS, the colors are amazing, the patterns are cute and the embellishments even more. 

I started by cutting 1inch squares from two of the patterned papers and arranging them on my white cardstock in a checkerboard pattern. The edges are distressed to make them stand out more and there's also a stitched detail that I did over the whole pattern. 

 

 

Then I created my paper-pieced heart and hand-stitched the borders. If you've been following me for a while, you know that I love creating cute characters for my layouts and I also love to hand-stitch them. After placing the heart onto the layout, I added a die-cut heart next to it and drew a hand holding the small heart. I also gave the big heart legs and feet and I think the whole thing has vintage vibes... so cute!! 🙂

 

 

The rest is looking for cute embellishments, like die-cut pieces, brads and stickers, and arranging them in little clusters around the heart and photo. 

 

 

I think it turned out adorable and I already created three more layouts and a mini album with this collection, so stay tuned on Instagram to see all the creations. 

 

 

Thank you so much for stopping by and see you next month 🙂
