Butterfly Grove – Enjoy Each Moment - 3 Quarter Designs Design Team Reveal

 Today I’m sharing another 3Quarter Designs Design Team layout created with the beautiful Butterfly Grove Collection.

This layout is all about one of those completely random little moments that ends up becoming a favourite memory. These photos of me with my girls were taken while we were just messing around and taking selfies together — nothing posed or planned, just us having fun.

Butterfly Grove worked so beautifully with these candid photos. The soft pinks and purples, touches of orange and all those gorgeous florals gave me plenty to work with without overpowering the photos.

I created a layered photo area across the centre of the page and added torn strips of patterned paper behind the photos for some extra texture. I also snuck in some of those fabulous stripes again — I really do love the striped papers in this collection.

For the embellishing, I used plenty of fussy-cut flowers and leaves, building small clusters around the photos and in the corners of the page. I mixed these with some of the black-and-white florals to break up the colour a little, then added loose thread, little gems and my favourite finishing touch — plenty of ink splatters.

The title “Enjoy Each Moment” seemed just right for these photos because sometimes it really is the ordinary, silly moments together that are the ones worth remembering.

I’m really enjoying how versatile Butterfly Grove is. It works just as beautifully for those everyday family photos as it does for something more feminine or glamorous.

Have you heard about the new Colour Your Own DieCuts? They are designed so you can colour them to suit the layout you are working on, or coordinate them with your favourite 3Quarter Designs collection.

But when I started playing with the Floral Elements on this page, I really loved the look of the flowers just as they were in black and white. Against all the soft pinks, purples and florals in Butterfly Grove, they added such a lovely contrast that I decided not to colour them at all.

I love that they give you the choice — colour them to match your page, or leave them black and white and let them become a feature on their own.

You can find Butterfly Grove and the other gorgeous collections from 3Quarter Designs.

Hugs.
