Arcade Fun & Games with Echo Park Let's Go Anywhere

Hello, another evening edition on the Papermaze blog with ScrappyAdam. 

I am still using Echo Park's Let's Go Anywhere and have a fairly simple layout for you today - it goes to show I can do quick and simple! This collection is very much a travel collection but I wanted to show you don't necessarily have to document travel memories! I have documented some fun at the arcades when we went bowling! 

I started with a sheet of white cardstock to add a border to a sheet of the B-Side of the 3x4 Journaling Cards and cut two strips - one at 3" from the B-Side of Pack Your Bags and a strip of cameras from the Cameras paper. My photos are matted on the woodgrain paper which is the B-Side of Take Me Away - the photos, which are two 6x4", printed with quite a thick white border which I decided to leave on to help the photos stand out with the black background. 

I added a cluster to the right of my photo using two chipboard frames topped with a chipboard piece and some stickers from the 12x12 Element Stickers and the Sticker Book. 

I took some Thickers from my stash, mixing two, for my title and an ampersand from a third set. I added a few puffy stickers from Bella BLVD, the McIntosh stickers along with a red flair from Dotty About Flair. 

Finally adding a couple of bits on the photos directly and to the left and then I decided to tear a piece to the top right as it was looking a little bare and added some strip stickers and a Dotty About Flair flair. 

That was this layout done - unusually simple for me - and quite a quick one too. I'll be back with another layout very soon and there's so much on the blog right now so do pop and see all the other inspiration from the fab design team!

Stay safe, take care and see you soon.

Echo Park - Let's Go Anywhere - Spotting Jodrell Bank

Welcome back to the my blog! 

ScrappyAdam here with you for an evening edition blog post for a change! This month, I am using the brilliant Let's Go Anywhere from Echo Park which has just been added to the shop. It's a fantastic collection full of black and white with red and woodgrain - I am loving the monochrome feel of it. 

'Spotting Jodrell Bank'

For this layout, I wanted to use the Forest Stencil and also used an arrow stencil from Safe Travels so I used some black ink and the two stencils to create two border strips across the page. I then used four strips of patterned paper, torn into strips from the collection and added in a washi tape for good measure and another pop of red!

I then added two strips from top to bottom, a strip of the B-Side of Cameras and a strip of the B-Side of See the World on top. 

I used the 6x6" pad to back four 3x4" photos and placed these two-together in the middle of the page and decided to use stickers and chipboard to add some detail below the bottom photograph. 

I have used Alpha's from the sticker book along with some from my stash to create the title to the top left of the page, nestled into the stencilling and overlapping the photo. 

I decided to utilise some 'empty' space on the photos by adding sticker, brads, chipboard and enamel dots. I have also added in two flair from Dotty About Flair. 

This collection is absolutely brilliant and I am loving creating with it. It's a big change for me to use limited colour but the black and white with pops of red and woodgrain make a refreshing change!

I will be back later in June with another Let's Go Anywhere project and in the meantime, have a look at all the other fantastic layouts! Do take a look at the collection, it's all in stock currently but I can't imagine it will be for very long - such a different collection!

Stay safe, take care and happy scrapping!
