Happy Birthday with Echo Park Party Animal by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
I have another birthday layout to share this week, again using Echo park party Animal collection:
Happy Birthday

For this layout I went with a fun banner design, using the cute balloon paper as the central focus and teaming it up with the more neutral patterned pink and purple. All on white cardstock, matted with blue which I have also used to matt by photo. 
To add a little extra detail to my banner I have used some twine and glued it across with bows either side to make the banner appear to be hanging. 

Next I have some flowers in a sweet cluster to match my pinks and purples. Also some cute enamel hearts smattered about. 

Then I have used the sticker sheet from the Party Animal Collection to embellish and title my page, then added a few more flowers and hearts to balance out my layout.

Happy Birthday with Echo Park Party Animalfrom Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

This week I've got a birthday themed layout for my youngest who just turned 19.
 I've used Echo Park Party Animal:

I've used the patterned papers on the purple star background paper to tie in with my photos and then used some doilies and embellished with the sticker sheet.
I

A cute collection of cake , presents and blower to celebrate the occasion. Then a long the top of the page the cutest banner!

These puffy stickers by Bella Blvd come in an array of colours so I was able to match them for the perfect Happy Birthday title. 

Then I added a 19 with the alphas to the opposite side and added a little frame and some stars from a VB thicker sheet to complete my page.

Hello Sunshine with Echo Park Summer Break by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Another boy page this week with more Echo Park Summer Break. 
Hello Sunshine

I had a bunch of paper left over from my last layout and put this one together right afterwards - without a photo which I never do! 
Anyway I liked the cute journaling Play All Day and decided to use it with a smaller 3x4 photo for my design , then created a sky background with the sun paper then some matching blue and adding a cute sun which I fussy cut from the paper to make as an embellishment. 

I've the fussy cut the tag here and added a Cocoa Vanilla Studio sticker. Then used a few of the stickers from the Echo Park Summer Break Sticker Sheet. 

I also used the sticker sheet for my title Summer Break and finished off with some extra words with the Cocoa Vanilla Studio stickers.

Hello everyone
Super cute boy page today using Echo Park Summer Break
Born to Ride

For this layout I chose the bike and summer themed paper as my main paper and added some coordinating colours. I decided to matt the white cardstock in pale blue to match the top and then added some sploshes of ink to the background. 

I've used the  Echo park Summer Break sticker sheet embellish my layout along with some enamel stars and a pinkfresh sticker from my stash.
The cute 2Crafty Chain is a fun element to run across the page with the arrows from the sticker sheet and then the perfect element a little bike sticker. 

Finishing off with my title using a mix of thickers and some extra enamel stars!

Cutewith Echo Park Little Builderby Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Back with another share using Echo Park Little Builder and 2Crafty chipboard:Cute

For this layout I started with some white cardstock and some Distress Oxide ink and used the plastic technique to add some splotches to my page then a paintbrush for some splatters. Next I took my 2Crafty Grid panel, cut it up then inked in black ink to make it pop. 
I matt my white cardstock with the reverse of the Echo Park Little Builder Trucks paper, then I have taken several of the  patterned papers and layered them up behind my photo, then added a torn strip along the length of my page. 

Next I have fussy cut some labels from the 4x4 journaling cards and added some Vicki Boutin chipboard hearts to my page. 

I've inked the 2Crafty title Cute in Distress Oxide Rusty Hinge and used an arrow from the VB chipboard shapes. Some journalling words and a flair button from my stash before finishing off with some enamel hearts.

This is My Happy Facewith Echo Park Little Builderby Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Happy 2025!
 I am back from a short break with my first layout for 2025, featuring Echo Park Little Builder:
This is My Happy Face!

For this layout I knew the title I wanted for this page, so I started with my paper design using Echo Park Little builder papers and then added the 3x4 journaling piece. Next I have cut one of the other 3x4 pieces into single journaling strips to add some more context to the title as it doesn't quite match my photo! 
A cute VB chipboard star with a flair button from my stash over the top. 

I've used a black pen to outline the journaling piece and my white cardstock. Next I have embellished with lots of stars - I have used Vicki Boutin Chipboard Stars along with some cute button stars from my stash and the Doodlebug enamel stars. Some journaling stickers over a chipboard tab finished off with an enamel star. 

My title: This is my Happy Face I have inked in Distress Oxide inks - Tumbled Glass to match the lighter blue paper.

Family with Echo Park Our Happy Place by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Back again with another layout created with the beautiful Echo Park Our Happy Place collection and some Cocoa Vanilla Studio These Days.
Family

For this layout I wanted to mix some of the colours together to compliment the varied colours in our family photo, strips of different patterned papers gave me lots of variety and the neutral word paper the perfect base. I've fussy cut two circles from the 4x4 journaling paper and roughed up the edges to create some shape variety to my page.  

I've added some small viewfinders to each side of my design painted white then lightly inked in a pale pink to compliment the papers. For flowers I have gone through my stash to find some perfect colours in the Cocoa Vanilla Studio These Days floral ephemera pack and these make up my two clusters. 
I've finished off with the title being one of the words from the Our Happy Place Chipboard Words collection and some small puffy hearts that are also CVS These Days.

Full of Lovewith Echo Park Our Happy Placeby Fiona Johnstone

Hello
This week I have a created a layout using the beautiful Our Happy Place collection
by Echo Park 
Full of Love

Love this little sequence of my sister and her granddaughter. The blue and pinks of this paper range are just perfect to document this moment. 
I layered up my papers with my photos trio with some tearing for texture then for the background I added some distress oxide in Saltwater Taffy to my white cardstock using the plastic bag technique and some splatters.
 I've then gone to my stash for some little hearts - all from Cocoa Vanilla Studio Daydream sticker sheet and a couple of enamel dots. 

Next some flower clusters using a mix of Green Tara and some pretty roses I found in my stash - a few more CVS hearts and my subtitle from Uniquely Creative. My main title is from the Echo Park collection chipboard titles.

Beep Beep Vroom Vroomwith Echo Park Little Boy by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Back this week with a layout to document my daughter recently successfully getting her P plates:
Beep Beep Vroom Vroom

For this layout I chose a traditional "boy" paper - because I loved the cute cars! I teamed this up with the super cute set from 2Crafty Cars set and added some flowers in matching colours. 
Firstly I wanted a subtle background and to extend the star pattern on the patterned papers. I used the plastic bag technique to apply my blue - mixing too of the distress oxides to create the blue I wanted. Next I used a regular ink to add some stars through a Vicki Boutin mask. 

The flowers are a mix of Green Tara and Uniquely Creative - I've also added a 2Crafty Chipboard star to each cluster.
The cute little car I painted white to match my daughters car. This second part of the title inked in red rose ink, the other in Royal Blue.

Caution Cute Kids at Play with Echo Park My Little Girl by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
I've got a cute page to share today using the cute Echo Park collection My Little Girl and 2Crafty Chipboard
Caution Cute Kids at Play

The floral raincoat inspired my colour choices for this page and I found a cute floral paper and teamed it up with some purple, pink and green papers, then matting it on to the orange paper to pop with the orange in the raincoat. 
To add a bit more colour to my page I have used some stamps to add some pink and purple flowers to my background - extending my floral theme. Next I used a 2Crafty rainbow and cloud with some markers to add in all the matching colours. 

I added some cute paper flowers:

and finished with this perfect title by 2Crafty - Caution Cute Kids at Play - inked in purple.
