Marci began her “Home Sweet Home” layout by thoughtfully selecting her photos and background paper, creating a warm, inviting base that reflects the cozy theme. Inspired by the November sketch, she added a punched left-side border and placed her photos just where she wanted them to tell her story. She also chose a few coordinating word strips to help guide the flow of the page and set the tone for the rest of her design. At this stage, she focuses on balance making sure colors, textures, and placement all work together before adding the final details.

In the completed layout, Marci truly brought her vision to life!  She used elements from the November Collection Kit to add layers of personality and warmth, giving the page that “lived-in” homey feeling. The soft patterns and gentle tones frame her photos beautifully, drawing the eye to each heartfelt memory. From her stash, she added delicate twine borders and a sweet little bow to tie the look together. A few scattered gems bring a subtle sparkle, while the small alpha stickers spelling “forever” perfectly capture the sentiment behind her design.
