Hi! It's Dannielle here with another Inspired By post. First lets take a look at my layout.

Banning Lane | @felicity_jane | "Tuesday"

I had this photo sitting on my desk for awhile, and I even knew the words I wanted to document. When I stumbled upon this design inspiration, I was ready to tackle this layout.

The design for this layout actually came from an app called LiveCollage. It is a photo collage app that I didn't actually end up downloading, but when I saw the example picture they used, I knew that it would make a fun layout. 

Here is a look at the collage picture I saw:

I really liked the two rows of hexagons, and I thought the design would be a perfect way for me to use several of the patterned papers that came in the kit.

The first thing I did was tackle those hexagons. I used my Silhouette to cut out a pattern that I traced on several different pieces of paper. After I had several cut, I arranged them, and rearranged them until I thought it looked nice and balanced.

I originally cut my photo into a hexagon as well, but it looked so little that it didn't stand out as much as I wanted it to. I decided to go against the inspired design and use a square photo instead, and I was much happier.

I used some black Felicity Jane letter stickers for my title. I am in love with these alphabet stickers. They come in black and white (for now) and they are the perfect size and font. Definitely check them out in the Felicity Jane shop.

I debated how much embellishing I wanted to do since I had so many different patterns on my layout already. I settled on added a couple flowers below my photo, and a few hearts above my photo. I think it is the perfect amount.

I decided to tuck my journaling into a little pocket behind my photo. To make it easier to pull out my journaling card, I attached a little "happy" tab from the cut apart sheet. I also punched out a little notch so that you could see I actually had something behind my layout.

Even though this layout pushed my boundaries a bit as far a style goes, I still think it turned out super cute and I am pretty happy with it.
