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

OTP Inspiration

Hi everyone!

In last months newsletter I had promised to share a mini album I had made using Pink Paislee Portfolio range. Im sorry but it slipped my mind :( , so here it is today.

My sister was given for her birthday a voucher from all her friends to bungy jump in Queenstown.  Probably not what most of us would love for our birthdays lol but she was stoked with it, and off she went for a girlie weekend away with some friends.  She asked me when she came back if I would make her a mini album to keep the photos in, but there were rules to go with it!  No flowers! At all!!  If you know me, you would know that was going to be challenge lol I even asked at one stage during the process if I could put some in but no amount of pleading helped, so I had to stop whinging and get on with it!  Here it is:

I have cut up the portfolio packet the photos came in to use for my title and front page embellishments.  The cover is also randomly stamped over the top of a hexagon stencil from WOW - I toned down the yellow Glimmermist with white tissue paper.  Ive also thrown in leftover bits and pieces from Kaisercrafts Pack Your Bags collection - yes thats quite old! :)
I was pleasantly surprised by just how versatile this paper range became, it also came in very handy for covering notebooks, and diaries for a portfolio Ive put together for my husband for Christmas which Ive stored in a Heidi Swapp Memory Box - theres some of these still in the shop. Ive used mine to pop all my husbands car photo expeditions in, using the portfolios, brilliant space saver!
The idea for the type of album Ive made has come from an album Heidi did.  The pattern is purchased from Paper Phenomenon, its an awesome site of great patterns for OTP! Go check it out.

Happy Scrapping Everyone!
