This week I participated in a weekly challenge at Shimelle.com- to scrapbook using hearts.  I had a lot of fun putting a bunch of my heart realated supplies to use this week.  Thank you Shimelle!

I used 5 different heart supplies on my layout:

1. A white and grey heart print patterned paper from Amy Tangerine Cut & Paste
2. A Felicity Jane heart stamp http://felicityjane.com/collections/stamps
3. A tiny Recollections heart paper punch
4. Heart themed die-cuts and stickers from the Jen Hadfield Homemade Collection
5. Recollections Coral Hearts Chunky Glitter

The first thing I wanted to do was create my own patterned paper using stamps and ink.  I pulled out some stamps, Memento dye ink in Angel Pink and a subtle patterned 6x6 paper from Bo Bunny Madeleine collection.  I started with the largest stamp, then went into the gaps with the smaller teacup stamps, then filled in any smaller spaces with the heart stamp.  This paper turned out so beautifully and it matches my theme and colour scheme perfectly.


I started with a a pink and cream polkadot from the Pitter Patter Collection by Kaisercraft, a strip of white and grey heart paper, and a bunch of 6x6 papers.  Two are from the Crate Paper Notes & Things 6x6 paper pad.  I wanted to mix brown and black on this layout, so adding a border strip that contained both colours from DCWV helped a lot to bring the colour scheme together.  I simply added in a few stickers and die-cuts from Jen Hadfield Homemade, gold foil word stickers called Stick-a-bilities by The Paper Studio, and the Recollections heart glitter. 

Here is the final result.  A very heart themed layout about something I love: Coffee!
