Love Your Smile by KERRY MCINALLY

For this layout I used the needlework paper, apricot card stock, a 4x6 journalling card and a few things from my own stash.

I began by cutting a couple of mm from each side of the Needlework paper as I wanted to create a very thin border of the apricot card stock. Next using a craft knife I cut out the hoop and the circular grid within it.

I then attached then remaining paper to the apricot card stock adding the grid circle too. Using the outside ring of the hoop as a template I cut out a piece of clear acetate and using double sided tape stuck this to the underside of the hoop. Then I attached a circle of foam tape to that.

I glued a few sequins to the grid circle and then sprinkled a few more. I then attached the hoop.

Next I backed my 2, 3x4 photos with some scrap white card stock and then to some blue scraps. I distressed the edges of each layer and over lapped the photos slightly before adding them to the bottom left using some foam tape.

I cut the feather banner from one of the remaining journalling cards and attached this to the bottom left. I also used ‘the details’ circle from the foam sheet and a few of the small puffy stickers to create a cluster.

I added a flower sticker from the foam embellishments provided to the top right and also added two butterflies which I cut from a 12x12 sheet which I purchased separately from this collection.
