New Echo Park Collection!

It's been a busy morning here with deliveries!

I've just uploaded the gorgeous new collection from Echo Park!

So Happy Together is bright and fresh, with a colour palette of blues, pinks, orange, greens and yellow. 

With cute images of home, travel, sweet little birds and patterns of chevrons, hexagons, flowers, dots and stripes it's perfect for almost any layout.

Here's the papers, stickers and alphas:

And the other side of those beautiful papers:

Prima Fairy Belle

Jennifer has been working with the new Prima collection, Fairy Belle ...

As soon as I opened the parcel from Sarah and saw the lovely Prima 'Fairy Belle' collection I couldn't wait to get creating with them, they're all so pretty!

I found the collection really versatile to work with. I started with this dreamy page, to go with a sweet photo I took of my two kiddies touching noses:

'You 2 Are Lovely' Layout

Supplies include: Prima 'Fairy Belle' 6x6 6 x 6 papers, flowers and alphabet stickers, Cosmo Cricket Tiny Type typewriter stickers and Rich Cocoa memento ink

Next I chose a bright pink background for this page about my daughter's dream to be a ballerina. I've seen lots of picture-gallery style layouts and projects lately, so I set out to achieve this style using the Prima chipboards, and a frame cut with my Slice design cutter: 

'Ballerina So Beautiful' Layout

Supplies include: Prima Fairy Belle 6 x 6 paper pad, Chipboards, Flowers and Alphas, Prima pearls and crystals and Cosmo Cricket stickers

Finally, I wanted to use one of the lovely fairies from the 6x6 papers. I stuck the picture of one onto some white card using a glue stick, and then fussy-cut her out. I think she looks lovely layered onto a card with lace and flowers

You Are Awesome Card

 I've really enjoyed creating with the 'Fairy Belle' collection, and I'm pleased I've still got lots left to use on some more projects!

Thanks for stopping by today!
