Echo Park ~ Sunny Days Ahead #2 ☀️

Hi all, it’s Anna back with you today. 

I’m still working with the wonderful bright and cheerful Sunny Days Ahead collection by Echo Park. You can find it in the shop here. 

For my second layout I began with the b side of ‘Shine on Sunshine’ as my base. I was inspired by the bunting on the element stickers in this collection to create a bunting style layout. 

I mounted my photographs on the reverse side of two of my spare 3x4 journaling cards from my previous layout. I placed them where I wanted them on my page and then added twine across the page. 

From there I added my remaining bunting pieces - I find it easier to do it this way than adding on the twine at the end - this way you can ensure your bunting is lining up evenly.  

To make my other bunting pieces, I created three different sized templates with scrap paper and used them to draw around various patterned papers and coordinating cardstock in the collection. 

I added a title at the top and in the middle of my layout using Pebbles Fun in the Sun Puffy Phrase Stickers.

I added various stickers from the Element Sticker Sheet to embellish my bunting, including adding the small bunting stickers. 

Thank you so much for looking! 

See you next month with a new collection.

Echo Park ~ Sunny Days Ahead #1 🏖️

Hello! 

It’s Anna back with you today and for the month of August I am working with Echo Park - Sunny Days Ahead. You can find the collection in the shop here. 

For this layout I have created one of my favourite style layouts, a grid…

To create this layout, I began with a sheet of white 12x12 bazzill cardstock and the 3x4 journalling cards. 

I used some Shimmerz Ink Spray to spray onto my white background. 

I trimmed down the 3x4 journaling cards and selected 6 in different colours to use and laid them out in a 3x3 grid. 

I printed four photos and mounted them on to the journalling cards. I left two as they were, one for my journaling and another for a sentiment. 

I added a boarder sticker from the Element Stickers along the bottom of the journalling cards and also dotted several other stickers around my layout.   

I added a title ‘Summer Fun’ from the Pebbles Fun in the Sun Puffy Phrase Thickers. 

Thanks so much for looking! 

I’ll be back soon with another layout using this collection. 

See you then! 

Anna
