Run Paris

Hello! I'm continuing our week of the design team showcasing 6x6 paper pads! As a traditional 12x12 paper gal, it's fun to mix it up with the smaller prints! For my layout, I used Pink Paislee's Atlas collection.

I used a few different sizes of my circle punches and adhered patterns into the center of my background cut file!

I had some of the ephemera pieces from Atlas left over so I incorporated a few into my page such as this tag! I also love the acetate stars!

At the top and bottom of my layout, I adhered and stitched strips of different patterns from the 6x6 pad to create a border.

Hope this inspires you to use up some of your paper pads! It's easy to create a background using a common shape throughout your page! Have a great day!

On an Adventure (Simple Stories So Rad)

Hello, TinaGale here! Today I have a layout using the Simple Stories So Rad collection and then lots of things from my stash.

Using 6x6 pads is a great way to get a sampling of all the paper in a collection as well as I love the smaller prints so you can really use a lot of different patterns on a page. Be sure to come back each day this week for more inspiration from the Design Team using 6x6 paper pads!

Here's a look at the process

I love layering up all kinds of embellishments and mixing collections. I mixed the cork word from the Journey collection and alphas from the Simple Stories Summer Vibes collection.

Tucking in labels and circles are a great way to build up a cluster. Adding enamel dots is the perfect finishing touch. I loved this quote in the Cocoa Vanilla Made of Awesome sticker sheet.
