Disney Inspired Collections - Magic at Chef Mickey's

Welcome back to the Papermaze Blog! ScrappyAdam with you today with another layout using a mix of Echo Park and Simple Stories. For this layout, I have used an exclusive sketch from Dotty About Flair as my initial inspiration as it just grabbed me and I wanted to use that blue background!

I started off with the Happy Magic Memories paper from Say Cheese Main Street which was this fab ledger paper in blue with some red lines. The sketch basically called for a strip of patterned paper across the middle and then lots of little strips from the middle to the bottom. I used a variety of papers from the Say Cheese 6x8" Paper Pad and the Echo Park A Magical Place 6x6" Mega Pad. For the strips across the middle I used a strip of Smile Words, white cardstock, B Side of Balloons and B Side of Here We Go.

I have used two 4x4" photos which I have matted on Full of Smiles and then a longer strip of Here We Go, the red side once again and for this second mat, I have torn the top and bottom - I do really like the texture and look of torn paper on layouts!

The base of my layout done, it was then a case of embellishing!

I have used a combination of embellishments from both collections. I have used the Brads, Sticker Book, Ephemera and Elements Sticker from Echo Park as well as a Chipboard from an older Echo Park collection and then some stickers, foam stickers and ephemera from Simple Stories. I have also added two flair from Dotty About Flair and a puffy sticker!

I added my title with alpha's from the Echo Park sticker book and "Magic" was from the 12x12" Stickers from Simple Stories. 

Finally, I felt like the top right was missing something and so I layered five banner pieces from the collections with a scrap of patterned paper and two phrase stickers which pulled the layout together and finished it off!

This layout is part of an album/section all about our character dining at Chef Mickey's and so there isn't any journaling on this page as there is/will be on other pages. 

I am going to carry on with this Disney combo kit into June as I have so much left and I am working on a smaller album to share with you through June!

Thank you all so much for taking the time to have a read of the blog today! Take care, stay safe and see you all back here soon! Happy Scrapping!

Happy Birthday with Disney Inspired Collections by ScrappyAdam

Happy Saturday!

Adam, aka ScrappyAdam here with a new Disney layout using a combination of Echo Park and Simple Stories Disney inspired collections. Anyone that has followed me over on Instagram or Facebook will know I love scrapping Disney - both with and without Disney inspired collections and I have a lot of both Echo Park and Simple Stories from Papermaze left so I decided to combine them for some layouts and, hopefully, something a bit different too!

One thing I will say, bear in mind that Simple Stories tend to use a cream base for their Say Cheese collections whereas Echo Park tend to use a white base. I personally don't mind this mix but I know some scrappers won't be keen!

I started with a full sheet of the Balloons paper from Echo Park's 'A Magical Place' using the black star reverse side for a 1/2" border around the page with the 4x4 Elements from Simple Stories' Say Cheese Main Street on top. I decided to use the reverse of one of my favourite papers from A Magical Place; Strike a Pose (those cameras!!) as a base for my photo and embellishments on the page. 

I love that Echo Park now have two 6x6 pads - their usual one and then a 'mega' pad! This is the same but has 6x6 solids and three of each design. Of course, I got the mega pad - and it's brilliant and Papermaze are stocking it! I used some papers from this pad as well as Say Cheese scraps to layer up around and to the bottom of the photo. I matted my photo once and then decided to add two further mats and tore the bottom to add a bit of extra texture. 

It was then a case of embellishing which I love! I do love layering lots of paper and using patterned paper background but embellishments are so much fun!

I had lots to choose from but kept it relatively simple - for me anyway!

I used embellishments from both collections including some chipboard, stickers and ephemera and enamel dots. I also added some fab Bramble Fox perspextives - those Mickey heads are so cute! I love the Echo Park chipboard - so crisp and white background!

I'm loving mixing these two collections and will be back with some more fun scrapping with it very soon! I'm hoping to use this Disney mash up kit to make a little album which I hope to share with you all soon!

In the meantime, pop to the blog and check out the amazing inspiration from the Papermaze Design Team - there is so much scrappy goodness right here on the blog! Take care, stay safe and I will see you all soon!

Havin' a Blast at EPCOT - ScrappyAdam - Say Cheese Main Street

Happy Friday!

ScrappyAdam back with you today with my second project using Simple Stories 'Say Cheese Main Street' and it's another double page layout from me today!

I started off with inspiration from a sketch and made the sketch work for me - and work for a double page as the sketch was a single layout. 

I started with two sheets from the basics paper pack which have different colour in large and small spots. They're fab to give extra cardstock to a collection! 

I used various papers from the 6x8" pad to create banners in 1", 1.5" and 2" widths. I then took two strips of each of the Happy Magic Memories and Magical papers - I have used the black and red sides. I layered these in the middle, inwards on the left page and right across the page of the second one. I layered my banners in four blocks of three behind these strips. 

I backed my photos with the B side of the 4x6" Elements paper. I also used one of the 4x4" Elements in my row of photos. I placed the photos on top of the central strips of paper. 

It was then a case of embellishing with the embellishments in this collection. The foam stickers have got to be one of my favourite - they're amazing! I also used the stickers and ephemera as well as some enamel dots and some items from my stash (such as Dotty About Flair flair and border pieces). Of course, I had to use some of the cute puffy stickers!

I did use some washi tape on this one (forgetting the washi tape from the collection and instead using some from my stash - doh!). I tucked in some strips in and amongst the banners and layered some word stickers from the 12x12" Elements and Sticker Book. 

I hope you're all having a great March so far and I will see you back here soon! Thanks so much for reading. Stay safe and take care.
