When my order arrived and I had the opportunity to see and feel the papers from the "Hello Darlin" collection, I was immediately captivated. It was a moment of pure crafting bliss, and that's when my love affair with Close To My Heart began.


The patterns, colors, and designs of the "Hello Darlin" papers and digital art kit, lent themselves perfectly to creating a heartfelt and visually stunning scrapbook page. The florals and fireworks added a touch of whimsy and charm, evoking memories of warm summer nights and joyful celebrations.

As I delved into the world of Close To My Heart products and began working on this layout, I discovered a newfound passion for paper crafting and storytelling. The process of bringing together photos, papers, and embellishments to create a cohesive and meaningful layout was truly rewarding, sparking a creative fire within me that continues to burn bright.





Creating this scrapbook page was not just about preserving memories; it was about expressing creativity, capturing moments, and immersing myself in the art of storytelling. The "Hello Darlin" collection provided the perfect backdrop for my creative vision, and I couldn't be happier with how the layout turned out.



For this 12x12 double-page layout, I took inspiration from a sketch by the talented Allison Davis. Thank you!
