Let’s Hit the Beach! -Echo Park – Summer Vibes – Wendy Meffan
Hi Everyone! It’s Wendy here sharing my third October layout using Echo Park Summer Vibes Collection. It has great vibrant colours and is perfect for those Summer snapshots.
I chose to use three 3×4 photos and create a central block across the layout and build up around them. I had previously cut up the 2×2 12×12 paper and I used the 2×2 squares saying Summer, these fitted perfectly across the top of the photos. To give some dimension I raised some of the letters on sticky fixers. I fussy cut a washing line of beach wear from one of the 12×12 papers and attached it at the base of the Summer letters and over the top of the photos. Above the letters I created an embellishment cluster using cardstock stickers, fussy cut pieces and a decorative brad.
I then fussy cut another 12×12 paper which had waves over it and used a strip just below the photos. I then cut two more 12×12 strips from other papers and distressed their edges and added them under the waves. Then I used the 12×12 wave sticker from the sticker sheet over the top to give a “beachy” feel .
I created a small cluster of surf boards from the card stock stickers and chipboard stickers to the left of the photos. Under the photos using more stickers and a decorative brad I created a further small cluster.
Finally to the right of the photos I used a frames and tags ephemera tag along with more cardstock stickers and a decorative brad. This helped to balance the layout.
I have really loved using this Summer Collection and hope you will feel inspired to take a look at it over at www.heylittlemagpie.com
Until next time … Happy Scrapping!
