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!

Made Up With Love (A little extra - January Kit)

 

Lynn here today with a little extra layout using the Papermaze January kit. I have two more to share in a couple of weeks, but made this little extra as well. I couldn't resist scrapping these photos of my great niece, who had been having fun with some make up!

Please see THIS earlier post for details of the kit, now available from Papermaze.

I started with the sheet of white Bazzill and trimmed the sides to make the sheet 29.5 x 29.5cm, then I cut circles in various sizes across the top half of the page. I inked the inner edges of the circles with Distress Inks, in shades to match the make up.  I flicked Cotton Candy Spritz lightly over the page to give the cardstock a subtle shimmer.

 

I backed the two largest circles with the photos, then placed this cardstock centrally over the Guava Sensation Bazzill and glued it in place.

I inked the cut out circles and popped them back in place in the remaining empty circles.

I spelled out Scarlett's name in one of the circles, and then filled them all with embellishments from my stash. I used buttons, sequins, gems, pearls, and Nuvo Drops.

I cut a quote from the Carta Bella - Gather At Home - 4 x 4 Journalling Cards paper, and trimmed it to make another circle, inked the edges and added it to the layout.

I cut three brushes and one tube from the P13 - Let Your Creativity Bloom - #06 paper. I arranged two brushes on the circle and one brush and the tube at the bottom right of the layout. I wrote the date onto the tube with a black marker.  

 

I will be back with two more layouts using this kit soon.
Thanks for looking
