Kiss Me | Simple Stories Love and Adore | Tarrah McLean

Hi Sassy Scrappers!
Tarrah McLean joining you today to share my last layout created with the Simple Stories Love and Adore collection! I ended up creating 6 layouts using this collection and I still have a few bits and pieces left as well! Talk about getting the most out of your supplies!

For this layout, I decided to fussy cut out the geo heart that is on the reverse side of the black and white stripe paper. I put that piece to the side to use another time and I then hand stitched around the entire perimeter of the heart using a dark pink thread. I then backed the hole using one of the other papers! 

As the paper behind the open heart is on a slight diagonal, I decided to use this as part of my design by adding my photo and embellishments in the same diagonal direction. I used a few of the Love and Adore journaling cards to act as layers under my photo and added a few of the chipboard stickers, ephemera and accessory stickers to complete my layout!

My niece was over visiting from England at Christmas time and we loved having her. As you can see she LOVED my littlest son as well! She is trying to give him a kiss here! So precious!

   Thank you so much for stopping by the Sassy Scrappers blog today! Check out this collection and what's new in the Sassy store too! So much yumminess!
Happy creating!

Sweet | Simple Stories Love and Adore | Tarrah McLean

Hi Sassy Scrappers!
Happy Friday! It's Tarrah McLean back with you and today I am sharing a new layout for with you using the gorgeous Simple Stories Love and Adore collection!

The blue in this collection is such a pretty blue and it matches my niece's beautiful dress perfectly! The dress also has a touch of the maroon colour so this photo was the perfect choice for this layout! 

The XOXOXO cut file is from the Cupid's Arrow set over at Just Nick Studio.

So Happy Together | Simple Stories Love and Adore | Tarrah McLean

Hi there Sassy Scrappers!
It's Tarrah McLean back with you today! Happy Friday!
I have a new layout to share with you using the gorgeous Love and Adore collection by Simple Stories!

The Love and Adore collection is so perfect for photos of weddings, engagements, your loved ones, Valentine's Day etc...it is so versatile! This is my 4th layout using this collection and I still have another 1 or 2 more layouts to share with you using this same collection also!  

I decided on a photo of my brother and his wife from their beautiful wedding day this week, previously the photos I have used with this collection were my sister and her husband's wedding day, my 2 sons and my Mum with 3 of her 5 grandchildren!

I love how this collection has flowers as well as hearts for embellishments...so well suited to this photo!

LOVE | Simple Stories Love and Adore | Tarrah McLean

Hi there Sassy Scrappers!
It's Tarrah back with you today to share a new scrapbook layout using the gorgeous Simple Stories Love and Adore collection!

I was inspired this week to use lots of different size circles on my layout...I even die cut my photo into a circle shape too! I added machine stitching to each individual circle for extra texture. 

This layout design is a great one to do if you only have scraps left! You can simply punch circles from patterned paper and you have an instant design! I also decided to fussy cut that LOVE title from one of the journal cards and I also machine stitched through it to create texture!

I just LOVE that geometric chipboard heart! I wanted it to take centre stage on this layout so incorporating it into the title was the perfect solution! Lots of other ephemera hearts were also added from the ephemera pack to help balance my page.

Thank you so much for stopping by the Sassy Scrappers blog today! I hope you will check out this gorgeous collection plus all the other beautiful goodies now in the Sassy store!

Happy creating and have a great week!

You Hold the Key to My Heart | Simple Stories Love and Adore | Tarrah McLean

Hi there Sassy fans!
It's Tarrah McLean back with you today sharing another layout featuring the gorgeous Simple Stories Love and Adore collection!

I started my layout by cutting a heart background cut file from the 'So Happy Together' paper with the pink side up! I then backed some of the holes in the hearts with other patterned papers. This photo is of my Mum with 3 of her treasures (as she calls them) my 2 sons and my niece Amelia! My Mum absolutely LOVES her grandchildren and can not get enough of them so this layout is dedicated to the love she holds for all of them...even the 2 treasures who were unfortunately not there that day..

As soon as I saw that 'You Hold the Key to My Heart' 3x4 card, I just knew that it had to be included on this layout....I found the metal key in my stash to add to it too...I think it goes perfectly! I used lots of the stickers, ephemera and chipboard stickers to embellish my layout and that flair button was from my stash too!

Thank you so much for stopping by the Sassy blog today! Be sure to check out the Sassy store...you never know what you might find in there!

Happy creating!
