Let's Party by Echo Park

Hi crafters, Jackie here with the first posting for this month, using the fab celebration collection from Echo Park – Let’s Party. It such a bright collection to use to get some of your birthday or celebration photographs scrapped.

Birthday Girl

A few years ago we had afternoon tea at the Ritz to celebrate Sheena’s 50th, as you can imagine I have loads of photographs from the day, so I decided I would do a main page and add a pocket page with a selection of photographs.

I kept the page very simple and stated by adding a 10 x 6 piece of Echo Park – Lets Party – Cupcake Celebration paper, with a piece of Echo Park – Lets Party – Make a Wish paper to the top which I border punched.

Then using Echo Park – Lets Party – 6×6 pad I added various papers underneath my two photographs, adding 3D form under each photograph to give some added dimensions.

I finished the page using Echo Park – Lets Party Ephemera and Echo Park – Lets Party – Frame and Tags Dies.

I even fussy cut a few ‘party hats’ and stamped stars and balloon around the page from the Echo Park – Lets Party stamp.

For my pocket page I add a few of my photographs, then added pieces from the journalling cards papers here and here, added some stamped details to both and journalling.

Celebrate

For my next layout I used photographs for our celebrating another friends birthday, I just had to document these photographs.

I started the page by distressing my cardstock using Oxide Inks – Squeezed Lemonade, in the centre using the packaging technique. I added details using the stencil over the yellow in worn lipstick and cracked pistachio, and added some stamped details using the stamp set

I added patterned papers from the 6×6 pad underneath each photograph, placing each layer at a slight angle, and cutting a frame in half to add to either side of the each photograph to give it another layer.

I decided that the bottom of the pages needed some stamping, so I stamped several images onto various patterned papers and cut them out, adding some 3d form to a few of them to give them added dimension.

Happy Birthday to Us

I added three strips of patterned papers to the top of my cardstock, and torn the bottom edges of each.

Using a 3×3 size photograph I added some 3d form underneath and added to a section of patterned papers from the 6×6 pad. Adding die cuts from the collection, and a few stamped, which I fussy cut and added to the page.
