Hi MLS fans! It's Robyn with you today to share the projects I've created with the Coming Home collection. I had tons of fun playing with the beautiful mix of pastels and bright pops of color.
I did something that's rare for me: a photo without a person in it! This is a photo I took of our house right after we moved in last September, and the Coming Home collection was perfect for it in every way.
I used the house stickers to create a border along the bottom of the layout. These houses remind me of the ones in our neighborhood -- they each have their own personality.
Banners always say "welcome" to me, so I thought it was appropriate to add one to this design.
I added a kraft doily from Maya Road and a heart shaped button to convey feelings of a happy home.
The next layout captures the playfulness of the Coming Home collection with the paper airplanes and clouds. I added a frame of red stitching , and it really helped balance the smaller photo.
Okay, so my stitching isn't perfectly even. It's actually pretty amazing that I got it straight at all! It adds to the handmade feel.
I added colorful buttons to the centers of some of the die-cuts and stickers for an extra pop of color.
I went for more subtle colors in this next layout. I added a filter to my photo to soften the harsh sunlight and it worked nicely with the more subdued colors in this collection.
The little tree stickers were a fun way to extend the bottom border.
And another banner...this time, I added a button between each pennant to connect them.
Thanks for letting me share my projects with you. Happy creating!
Robyn!!! I LOVE ALL of these projects!!! Fantastic as usual and I forgot to tell you in person at CHA - congrats on your new home! :)
