Ethan designed this fun modern layout by using different mists and paper tape. The used of secondary color brings a freshness to the page. The focus is brought together by grouping elements together. Hope you enjoy and it inspires you to using some of these popular new products.

Design & Layout
A 8″ negative circle mask is place on white card stock and sprayed with Mister Huey’s Sunset mist and Glimmer Mist. He used the Heidi Swapp mega mask for this, however, you could create your own mask by cutting a circle into a thick piece of card stock. Next the orange circle is covered and a spritz of gray pinstripe Mister Huey’s is sprayed at an angle from top right to bottom left.

A quote strip from Cosmo Cricket Hello Sunshine is place about 2″ from the bottom of the page. Two photos measuring 2.5″x4″ are tucked behind the strip and angled to create interest. A quote circle, a few embellishments from Crate Paper, date stamp, and jeweled brad are added along side the photos and quote strip.

A 12″x3/4″ strip of white card stock is covered with random assortment of paper tapes. The tapes are placed on an angle to create a appealing border. A few other pieces of paper tape are placed along the top right and bottom left of the page.

Supplies

  • Mister Huey’s Sunset Color Mist
  • Glimmer Mist Dreamsicle
  • Cosmo Cricket Hello Sunshine
  • My Mind’s Eye Indie Paper Tapes
  • Crate Paper Embellishments

  • K&Company Jeweled Brad

The past few years Ethan and I have attended the St. Charles Scrapbook Expo. During the expo we love to create some of the make and takes from vendors. This layout documents how much fun we had creating some cards at the Michaels booth. The lower photo shows Ethan with a long lost cousin we ran into during the Expo. What a great day!

Ethan and I are huge fans of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture. During a road trip to New York, we stopped in Mill Run, PA to see his famous Fallingwater House. The house is build on top of a waterfall. It is a nice crisp spring day when we visited and the natural area around the house is amazing. If you ever get the chance to go, it is definitely worth a stop.
