This first page is about one of our favorite parks. We love going up there with our friends and hiking all around.
I used the papers to create the layered banner below the photos. Foam adhesive is definitely one of my best scrappy friends these days!
I matted the photos with some vintage papers that came with the kit. And I even used one of the post cards they included with an ad for their new lines. See that cute polka dot design? That's it!
I cut the title with my Silhouette. And my favorite part of this page? I have been dying to try a confetti pocket and made a strip filled with it here. I wanted to mimic the zig zag strips so I added a zig zag stitch down the center of the pocket.
I had so much fun with this one!!My next page is kind of a play on words. I was in step class one day singing along with the Miley Cyrus song (forget what it's called - something about a Hoe Down?...) Anyway, she said 'That's how we roll.' And I thought 'Aha- that's what I'll call my layout about my car! (Yeah, I know, it's pretty pathetic that I'm thinking about scrapping while I work out!) I used the Storyteller paper on here, too.
Anyway, the Studio Calico stickers were perfect to create the title. I love the dark grey paper and decided to try and make it look like asphalt - you know to go with the whole car and driver theme. I used my white Mr. Huey and spritzed it all over the page.
I created the borders by cutting the stickers into smaller pieces and stitching them together.
The sunbursts behind the photos were cut with my Silhouette and I layered more Storyteller papers behind the pics, too. I even used the glassine envelope that the Amy Tangerine flowers from the kit arrived in.
I really had a lot of fun with this kit! And the best part is I still have a ton of stuff left over. I'm definitely going to crank out a few more things with it.
So. Now for the fun part for YOU! I have a $10 Studio Calico gift certificate to give away. Just leave me a comment by midnight on Sunday, March 18 on this post and you'll be entered to win. Be sure to include your email address!
Also, if you'd like to win the entire kit, head over to the Crate Blog. Details are there for how you can do it!
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
