Echo Park - Here & Now Range

Hi, sooo excited to share some layouts with you using the brand new range from Echo Park, Here & Now.  I have posted a couple of sneaks on Facebook, but here are the complete layouts.

What I wanted to show you is at first, the colours seem to bright and bold but they are so versatile so you can create a soft look using them as well.

For this first layout, I created a background of strips of different colours using Blues, Greens and yellows, and mixing it up with some black cardstock and washi tape.  I chose these colours because of the colours of the canoe, so definately wanted to include these colours on the layout.  To add some more dimension I added three layers underneath the photo, including some gorgeous Vellum from Studio Callico Atlantic Range.

 

I have also added a little dimension using some texture paste and a homemade mask.  I used some transparency and using my hand hole punch, I just punched some holes in the transparency.  The butterflies are cut from the Silhoutte including the gorgeous word "Explore" which is from the Heidi Swapp Cut Files.

Products used for this layout :-

Papers - Feathers; Rainbow Chevron; Teal/Green, Border Stripes,

Here & Now - Sticker Sheet,

The second layout is much softer and subtle, using the pinks & soft blues from the range, and I have added some Heidi Swapp Serendipity Range - Lovey Dovey Paper.  I just love this photo of the girls, which was taken quite a while back.

Using lots of strips of Washi Tape to add some colours here and there, I wanted the colours to match the PJ's my daughter is wearing.  So I used that as my inspiration for this layout, 

The title is one from the 4x6 Journalling Card Paper, and I just cut the words up and arranged them how I wanted.

Products used for this layout

Papers - Echo park Here & Now 4x6 Journalling card,  Chalkboard Quotes, Feathers, Heidi Swapp Serendipity Range - Lovey Dovey Paper.

Here & Now - Sticker Sheet,

So there you go, two completely different layouts using the same range of papers.

TFL & Happy Scrapping

Snippets by Studio Calico

Morning guys!

Recently I was lucky enough to have a play with the Snippets range from Studio Calico. I'm not sure why I have overlooked this yummy range before, it is so vibrant in colours yet not too over the top, so it went with almost every photo I teamed up with it. The embellishments of the range go really far too, which worked with the co-ordinating papers that were so easy to layer.

I loved the simplicity of this layout with the many patterned papers I used not taking anything away from my photo, theres 7 patterns there! Cool huh.

Products used: Snippet Chipboard Cameras, Snippets Chipboard Arrows, Snippets Chipboard Speech Bubbles, Snippets Sticker Decorative Tabs, Snippets Howdy Paper, Snippets Me oh My Paper, Snippets Stop Paper, Snippets Oh Snap Paper, Snippets Okay Paper, Snippets Brads.
