HOMETOWN USA FIREWORKS PAGE | with Traci
Hey guys! With the July 4th holiday just around the corner, I decided to create a super fun 12x12 scrapbook layout. I've been loving the Hometown USA Collection but I haven't used its Shadow Box Insert Kit yet. So ... today's the day! 🎉 I think this page turned out so cute and celebratory. I just love it!
If you haven't used one of the Shadow Box Insert Kits yet ... I totally recommend. It comes with a circle template, white cardstock, vellum, and tons of adorable stickers. You place the stickers on the vellum with the help of a template behind it and when you remove the template ... voila! The cutest patriotic collage ever!
These are so fun and every paper collection has one. The Hometown USA kit is filled with fireworks, the Statue of Liberty, American flags,
a hot air balloon, enamel sprinkles, and so many great images.
Here's how I created the layout ...
I used the 12x12 Land of the Free red hearts paper as the base and layered white cardstock and the 12x12 Summer Celebration fireworks print on top.
Then, I cut out a 7.25" circle from the red Land of the Free paper and used that behind the round collage.
Next, I matted my photos and added those to the page. I chose the 6x6 stripe print called Red, White, and Blue behind the photo above. I thought the smaller size worked better.
And finally, I decorated the page with die cuts from the Bits & Pieces and Chit Chat. I used 1 sticker from the This & That (the metallic silver USA in the photo above) and added a little bit of ladybug twine to my tag.
Such a fun and simple layout but I think the fireworks and fun collage make such a big impact. Perfect for the 4th of July celebrations.
I hope this layout inspires you to create something wonderful with the Hometown USA collection and the Shadow Box Insert Kit. They will definitely have you looking forward to the holiday!

HOMETOWN USA WREATH LAYOUT | with Erica
What is one design that you can do over and over again on your scrapbook pages? For me it is a wreath design or large circular element in the center! Today I have a fun layout using the Hometown USA collection to share with you.
I am using some Lily White Textured Cardstock for my base and I have trimmed it down to 11.50" square. Next I layered a piece of solid cardstock and a 12x12 pattern paper from the Hometown USA collection.
I used a large circle template to draw a circle in the middle of the layout base and then began to adhere some of the large acetate fireworks from the Bits & Pieces pack.
Next I added a second and third layer of fireworks using more acetate, Icon stickers and Odds & Ends. I used foam adhesive to adhere them down to give them a lot of dimension.
After all the layers were down I went in with smaller elements from the Hometown USA collection like puffy icon stickers, sprinkles and mini icon stickers. I matted my photos on some pattern papers from the 6x6 paper pad and adhered to the layout.
I created a smaller cluster of embellishments above the photos and added one of the Chit Chat pieces for my title below the photos!
I just love how it turned out and how easy it was to create the wreath! There are so many little elements around the wreath giving it so much dimension and interest! Thanks so much for stopping by the Doodlebug Blog today!

HOMETOWN USA FIREWORKS LAYOUT | with Brianna
Hey friends! Brianna Lepper here today and I've got another layout using the Hometown USA collection. There are a lot of fireworks pieces in this collection so I thought it would be fun to document some photos of my boys setting off some a few years ago. Here's my page:
To start, I pulled out the Summer Celebration 12x12 paper and used it as a base. I took the Polka-Dot Pride 12x12 paper and trimmed it down to a 9x12. Next, I layered a piece of the white cardstock from the 12x12 Textured Cardstock Assortment that I trimmed down to a 6x12 right on top of it. I was able to display some pretty patterned papers and also have the pretty white to make my photos and embellishments pop.
I love large ephemera pieces but sometimes I have a hard time incorporating them into my layouts. I kept this in mind when I was putting my page together and made sure to leave space for this adorable plane from the Odds & Ends pack. It fit perfectly!
I matted my photos using the 6x6 Paper Pad and centered them on my page. I then adhered the fireworks stickers from the Freedom Fireworks Shaker-Pops on each side. For my title, I chose the 'Fireworks' phrase from the Chit Chat pack and centered in between my two photos. I love the font of this phrase, it's so fun!
To continue along with the fireworks theme, I pulled out a bunch of fireworks from both the Odds & Ends and Bits & Pieces packs. I popped them all up with foam tape and arranged them around my page. I also chose another phrase piece from the Chit Chat pack and centered it at the top of my photos.
