So Glad We're Friends

Hey there!  I hope your Thursday is going well.  Today, I'm sharing a page I created using the new Hello Again line from Carta Bella.  This page was up on the My Scraps Blog last week HERE.  I've had this line for a while now, and I finally had the time to play with it.  Oh my goodness...it is amazing!  I almost couldn't cut the gorgeous pink/orange ombre paper...both sides are gorgeous.  I'm glad I bought two of that sheet!

As much as I like starting with white cardstock and creating my own background, I also love challenging myself to start with a busy piece of patterned paper.  The key is creating a base for your photos so there's some separation from the busy-ness.  This way your photo doesn't get lost in all the pattern, and it still stands out.


I added a button & some cord.  There are a lot of fun stickers on the included sheet :)


I love these little people holding hands...perfect for a "friend" page.  I also threw in some embossed vellum I had cluttering up my desk from a previous project.  Use it up!


More cord, more stickers!


The My Scraps store has a lot of Carta Bella products, as well as a lot of other new brands.  This particular collection has already sold out, but there are TONS of other lines available!  Go check it out HERE.

Thanks for taking a peek, and have a great day!
