Hugs layout with a sketch, a kit and a plentiful stash

Hello, as I promised so many layouts I have finished up this weekend. I am particularly happy with this one. I really loved these photos. If you can read the journal card you will know I was completely flabbergasted, it was covid times and my husband is taking a picture...who is coming up behind me and "hugging" me? It was a hilarious moment so fun to be captured.

This sketch is from Rochelle Spears November challenge. I felt free to girly this one up with flowers and butterflies! Plus use some very pretty papers acquired from the The Scraproom.

I had a ton of fun with these clusters. Luckily my stash is organized. I was able to pull out a bag of white flowers. They were not in original packaging but by the quality I am guessing Prima. I then grabbed three of my tidbit organizers, the blue, the black and the white. I rummaged through finding all the right brads and embellies for the centers of the flowers. I fussy cut some of the butterflies from the AC/AT Monarch paper. I cut up a gemstone border flourish to fit my needs peeking out behind my clusters.

I recently found some old Stampin Up Paper Pumpkin kits at a thrift store. They were Thanks a Latte card kits. They did not contain the stamp set but I am finding uses for the pieces and parts of the kits nonetheless. When I saw I needed a journal card for Stacy's challenge I immediately thought of this piece. I die cut the title from a Scrapbook.com Bear Hugs die set in complimentary colors to the background and butterfly papers.
