1. Use white cardstock for the base of the layout, drop some random drops of Color Shine mist on to the cardstock.
2. Cut out a piece of Artisan resist paper and color it with Distress ink; wipe the excess off with a baby wipe.
3. Pick out four different papers from the Hope Chest collection and cut them in random sizes. Start layering the widest, then the tallest and then smaller and smaller pieces to act more as a photo mat. Bend all the papers slightly on top and in the bottom to give the layers some extra dimension.
4. Between the Hope Chest layers add a piece of Artisan Border colored with acrylic paint (mine is pink) a piece of Luxe paper cut out with a border punch, a piece of She Art tissue paper, a Portfolio tab and another Artisan resist paper colored with Distress paint and some Artisan fiber. Also add some doilies to keep the layers from being totally square.
5. When all the layers are placed where you want them, staple them to the cardstock instead of tape/glue to better be able to add small embellishment pieces here and there. Then adhere the paper to the layers.
6. Decorate with burlap flower, Luxe chipboard star, color a Hope Chest butterfly clip.
7. Cut out the title using the Word Play Spring Cutting File with the Silhouette Cameo.
8. Add some handwritten journaling beside the title.

1. Begin by choosing a neutral cardstock as the base for your project.2. To mimic the look of the beautiful water in the photo, try creating a watercolor effect using the Heidi Swapp Color Shine mist in Tropical Teal mixed with a small amount of water. Lightly brush areas of the cardstock, then create a watercolor effect heart to embellish the project; add extra splatters.3. Next, begin creating layers on the layout underneath the photo(s) using various 6x6 Hope Chest papers, journaling cards, embellishment pack and stickers.4. Embellish the top of the page with a wide strip from the 12" x 12" Hope Chest papers. Sew it along the edge to secure
it and add dimension. The “who doesn’t love a vacation?” sticker is perfect to complete the look.5. Add the title using Heidi Swapp Clear Pop letters (teal) and secure them with machine stitching or clear glue.6. Finish the layout by adding little details from the Hope Chest paper goods pack and label stickers or adding journaling/phrases to those embellishments with a typewriter/typewriter font or even with a journaling pen.7. Finally, add various embellishments and stamps for a complete, cohesive look to the overall project.8. Secure any loose papers or embellishments with craft glue or machine stitching.
