Layouts with Faith

Hello! Jennifer here with you today to share layouts I created using the lovely Faith [1] collection! I adore the mixture of soft and bright colors incorporated into the variety of eye-catching patterns! Even if you don't prefer to do faith based scrapbooking or biblejournaling, the Faith collection has many prints that can be used for a multitude of themes!

For my first layout, "Child of God", I wanted to document a photo of my beautiful niece on her First Communion. I love the wood grain background of the Charity [2] pattern and decided to start with it as my base. I cut strips of the B sides of Shine [3] and Grace [4] and adhered them to the bottom of my page to add contrast.

I didn't want to crop my photo down too much and tried to keep it as close to 4x6 as possible. I layered some of the 4x6 Horizontal Elements [5]underneath which is a great way to use them if you don't do pocket pages. The 3x4 Journaling Card Elements [6] can be used for your titles or to add journaling; I chose the former because I thought it was fitting for my page and I love the white/teal cabana stripes! I added some of the cute feather Believe Washi Tape [7] and one of the adorable Decorative Clips [8].

I cut a floral circle cut file on my Silhouette using white cardstock and adhered it to the center of my page. I then used my sewing machine to add a couple layers of stitching to accent. Simple Stories never disappoints when it comes to embellishments and I had a lot of fun choosing mini die cuts from the Bits and Pieces [9] pack, Chipboard [10], as well as Decorative Brads [11]and Enamel Dots [12]to accent the circle.

I used pop dots to add dimension to the "believe" in the Bits and Pieces pack then clustered smaller embellishments around.

I love that Simple Stories has started to include Roller Stamps in their collections! Here, I used the Faith Roller Stamp [13] along side a date stamp from my stash. They are such a fun accent for my photos!

For my second layout, "He Knows" I used one of my all time favorite photos of our daughter from a mission trip to Haiti in 2015. My husband and I were lucky to head a team to Northern Haiti to finish building a home for a family of five. Our daughter seemed to bond with the kids right off the bat despite the language barrier. I started with a kraft cardstock background then used a cut file from The Cut Shoppe using the colorful feathers of Inspire [14].

The feathers are probably my favorite of this collection so I wanted to incorporate them into my page! I used a few of the die cuts as well as one of the Decorative Brads. Again, I used pop dots on one of the feathers; this is my go to technique when I feel like my page needs an extra boost!

I am in love with this die cut from the Bits and Pieces and knew I had to use it as my title! Again, its popped up to draw attention to it. The tiny brads and Faith Clear Stickers [15] are perfect accents!

I don't always care for my handwriting so if I am scrapping at home, I use my electric typewriter and white cardstock for journaling. I added a bit of splatters of spray ink to my page as well as more tiny embellishments.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you will check out the large selection of products included in the Faith collection including planner goodies and the new Doc-It Journal! Have a wonderful day!
