Life Is Beautiful | Simple Stories Tea Garden | Emma Kate

Hello Magpies, I’m back with another seasonal layout for you this month using the Tea Garden collection from Simple Stories & the Hey Little Magpie April Embellishment kit. I started off my page by cutting apart the Be Happy striped patterned paper, making each strip a different length & finishing off each end with a banner cut.

Next I adhered the strips, only at the top, to white cardstock leaving a small gap in-between each one. Then it was time to add my 4×6 photo followed by the beautiful floral ephemera.

Only securing the strips at the top of the page allowed me to tuck the ephemera pieces underneath, I like how the different elements of my layout interact. At the bottom of my photo I used a Cardstock Sticker for my Life Is Beautiful title & a label just below that to use as a journalling spot.

The April embellishment kit included 3 lace butterflies but they got slightly lost against the colours of the patterned paper, so to bring them to the foreground I mounted each one to white cardstock then fussy cut around the edge. When adhering them to my page I only used adhesive down the centre of the butterfly so I could fold up the wings.

To finish, I dotted the blossom Cardstock Stickers across my layout & of course a sprinkling of sequins from the embellishment kit. I hope you are all enjoying the change of season & seeing all the flowers & trees come into bloom, I certainly am!

Until next time, much love,

Em xxx
