Echo Park ~ Magical Birthday Boy #3

Hi all, it’s Anna back with you again! Today I’m sharing my fourth and final layout with the Echo Park magical birthday boy collection. Which you can find in the shop here.

You can see my first layout and blog post here and my second and third layouts here. 

In my first blog post I mentioned that I hoped I’d show you a variety of layouts created with this collection. Although my other layouts have been birthday related as per the theme of the collection. My final layout isn’t birthday related, but is still Disney themed! 

I have used the balloons patterned paper (b side) from the collection as my base. I then used an Echo Park cutfile, which I cut out on vellum to create the castle. 

Around the edge of the vellum castle I created a silver Nuvo drop boarder. 

I fussy cut lots of the clouds and balloons from the tags patterned paper. I adhered some flat and others slightly raised on 3D foam pads. I then used some silver thread to hand stitch the balloons’ string. 

I’ve included a few interactive elements in these magical birthday boy pages and I’ve done it again on this layout! There was some journaling that I wanted to include which is important to the page. So I made the photo into a flap, which opens to reveal two sides of journaling. I used two Project Life journaling cards for this. My reason behind this was because I really didn’t want to go overboard with this layout, I really wanted the castle to be clear to see. If I’d of added too much more to the page or lots of journaling, it would have been a shame to loose the look of the castle. So interactive elements are also a great space saver. 

I added a phrase fussy cut from the birthday fun patterned paper to the top right hand corner along with a couple of the banner stickers from the element stickers and some acrylic embellishments.  

Thanks so much for looking, have a great week! 

I’ll be back soon with a new collection.
