New Echo Park

The lovely Kylie from Shop & Crop sent me some brand new Echo Park 'My Life' papers and cardstock stickers to play with. I love this mini-theme collection as it's so versatile with brights and greys, and adaptable to almost any subject.

I created these 2 pages in a few hours on Sunday afternoon

when the house was quiet.

I scraped and dribbled some Kaisercraft black paint on the background, layered up the Echo Park and added some really old Heidi Swapp alpha stickers for the title. Journalling as usual with Dymo. 

And for this one I wanted a splashy and bright background so I went with Ranger Dylusions and Distress Stains, I used mostly stickers from the Echo Park collection and some Green Tara twine.

Thanks so much for coming by

For Charm

Here is my page for the third challenge over at Scrapbooking From Scratch,

set by Charm of Charm's Creations.

It's thrown together with a bunch of stuff (that would otherwise

have gone in the bin), and under sufferance of constant interruptions.

And I'm sorry to say that it looks it!

Still, it's done...

Thanks for coming by :-)

A Challenge!

I haven't had much time lately for challenges

but DH was away last week so I snuck in a bit of daytime play

(don't tell!). Kraft It Up was the first one I managed to finish,

and inspired by some photos that I took for the

Dec. Crop Kit at S&C (I designed it)

I put together this page with a rare pic of my

two youngest happy together!

There's not a lot to it, some mists, patterned paper stars & cardstock stickers (inc. alphas)

from Echo Park, Dymo, Tim Holtz Kraft PP, machine stitching,

and some craft wire I got in a kit from the divine Lou Nelson 

(which I have never used before on a layout but am now totally converted to).

Why don't you play along too?
