Hello America

Monique Liedtke

Hi everyone! For today's "patriotic" feature I created this fun layout of my daughter celebrating her imminent departure for the USA with one of her best friends.

I started my layout with a large cut file of a star and adhered red and blue papers from the Par-r-rty Me Hearty collection behind it. Next I placed the 4 small photos in different ways on the background and decided I liked the angled look best. 

Next I cut a large title also from the Par-r-rty Me Hearty collection and decorated my layout with die-cuts, puffy stickers and wood veneers from both the Happy Traveler and the Par-r-rty Me Hearty collection. 

For the finishing touch I added a few drops of color mist and some machine stitching. Hope you like it! 

Supplies:

Imaginisce: patterned papers, puffy stickers (Par-r-rty Me Hearty), die-cut shapes, wood veneers, puffy stickers (Happy Traveler), alpha stickers (Sunny collection). American Crafts: cardstock. Other: Silhouette Cameo; cut files: star cut file: Studio Calico, "America": Silhouette Store #8529, "hello": misc. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by our blog today! Have a great day!

xoxo
