I absolutely love those layers of different patterned papers peeking out from behind the photo, and the colours are gorgeous too. Since I really love the blues and yellows I chose to use the new Jen Hadfield collection - Simple Life. It has some beautiful patterned papers in.

I also love the little clusters of wooden hearts and enamel dots Becky has used, so I've tried to stick to her original as closely as possible.

The papers I chose perfectly matched my photo, and the cake sticker was just perfect!

So here's my take on her layout!

Please feel free to have a go at scraplifting Becky's page too, and come and show us over at the Paper Issues Facebook group. If you'd like to buy Simple Life, don't forget to use code: Pol for 20% off at the Paper Issues Store!

Hi scrappy friends! Today on the Paper Issues blog we're featuring Jen Hadfield's new collection, Simple Life. 

I must admit I was slightly overwhelmed by all the browns in this collection, but on closer inspection there is plenty of gorgeous floral papers too. I also love using the dark wood grain papers as backgrounds.

I started with a free Paper Issues cut file and backed it with both sides of 2 floral papers. I then chose 3 contrasting papers to tuck behind my photo, added a tag from the ephemera pack, and positioned it all on one side of my cut file.

My title came from the puffy stickers and some alphas from my stash. I then added 3 clusters of ephemera and stickers at various points round the cut file, and a flair from A Flair for Buttons.

The only thing I don't like about the stickers is that they are very transparent which means they don't show up as well on patterned papers.

If you fancy buying Simple Life, pop on over to the Paper Issues store and remember to use code: Pol at the checkout for 20% off your entire order.
