I am currently obsessed with the "You Are Enough" Paper and butterflies from the National Scrapbooking Month. The papers are stunning with beautiful patterns, and gorgeous rose gold accents. The only thing I still desired is a solid rose gold foil sheet to cut a title out of, but the sticker sheet is still pretty great. Add on my ongoing obsession with hexagons, and anyone who has been following me on Instagram will not be surprised to see this layout... other than the fact I haven't done a layout in forever!!

I created a 2 page layout featuring the large stitched hexagon thin cuts and wanted to create a corner border in opposite corners. I used a variety of the papers to do this, and I am not sure if you can fully appreciate this on the first picture.


There is something about the blue belle shade that attracted me , so I had to add a little more as the backing for photos. I felt like I needed a little more pattern in the back, but couldn't bring myself to cover up some of the paper. I took the stripped piece and cut it in half, so it only was in the open spaces.


I used the stickers for "Believe in Yourself" as a title. Here is a little hack if you are ever struggling with darts: use the hexagon die to do it! A square would also work, but wouldn't be as wide. I finished things off with the rose gold stickers, the butterfly sequins and 3 die cut butterflies.


The bonus card I made was a slim card, with more hexagons  for my amazing grandmother for mothers day. Similar products and techniques.


Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you love this paper as much as I do!
