Echo Park

I've never really been into a lot of the 'cute' scrapbooking collections, but lately I've been in love with all things cute and whimsical... don't know why?? I guess our tastes change, or something catches our eye or our imagination and we just run with it for a while...

Last month it was Cosmo Cricket 'DeLovely' (which I still *love*). This month it's Echo Park - each of the first three collections!! I can't really choose a favourite, but I've started playing with "Walk in the Park" for my Scrap Pile layouts this month.

I created this layout with these challenges in mind:
# Scrap Fit ~ Workout #27 ~ Using a sketch by Cherie Averill
# Paper Sundaes ~ Challenge #35 ~ Use at least three different kinds of embellishment
I used: flowers, buttons, journalling card, alphabet stickers
# Crafty Creations ~ Challenge 84 ~ Transportation


This is my second Echo Park layout ~ I really love yellow with teal, and I can never resist a guinea pig moment!

Over at Scrap Pile, I've used this layout as the basis of some tips on ways to personalising stickers.  Pop over to the forum for the details.  Here are some closeups:
