Some Fun, New Echo Park

Hi Everyone... I was very excited to get to play with Echo Park's new Here and Now collection for the Layout Workshop over at Right at Home Scrapbooking this month.  This is one fun collection, full of bright colors and fun patterns.  It coordinates perfectly with these silly "selfies" of my daughter and her friend.

 

I absolutely LOVE the chalkboard background paper.  It really makes the colors pop off the page.  I created the bulls-eye shapes by editing the Concentric Circles file from the Silhouette Store.   

 

 

These adorable little glasses are a new die from The Cat's Pajamas.  As soon as I saw it, I had to have it. 

 

The same goes for these stamps.  They are from the Paper Smooches Slang Gang collection.  They were just to cute to pass up and they're perfect for Teen/Kid scrapping.

I also used the fun "chalk" technique that was up on the Echo Park Blog recently to add my arrows.  I love how it looks!  That's it for today.  I'll be back soon with some projects for The Twinery.  Thanks for stopping by and as always I appreciate your comments!

Splash!

Echo Park has really had a great year. I'm in love with (and own) every single collection they've put out so far! I was very happy to get to work with the Splash line for my July work at Right at Home Scrapbooking. Here's what I came up with.

Staying Cool in the Pool
I cut the banner pieces from the Borders sheet and attached some black cord with my tiny attacher.

I also used some liquid pearls to make the fish bubbles and the edge of the waves.

Kissed by a Fish

This layout was based on a challenge by Frances Sylvia for Right at Home Scrapbooking. She challenged everyone to create a layout using a 12"x6" strip of paper, a 6"x6" piece, two 2"x12" strips and two 1"x12" strips. You were also allowed to add some embellishments, buttons and ribbon. It was very cool how different every one's layouts were!

I used the Cat's Pajama's easy Rosette and of course some Whimsys!

That's all for now. I'll be back with some My Mind's Eye Hip Hooray next week!
