Good Day Sunshine: Echo Park beach page

I’m back today with another layout from the July Creative Kit at My Creative Scrapbook. The kit was packed with goodies from Echo Park Paper and Bella Blvd.

One of my favorite papers in the kit was this one, Butterfly Sky, from EP’s Hello Summer collection. It just screamed happy summer day to me and I thought it would be the perfect backdrop for a beach page.

I wanted a light and airy feel, so I used white cardstock in the center and moved my photos and embellies around until I thought they looked right. I didn’t use a sketch for this page, so I backed all the stickers with cardstock or baby powder so I could play with them on the page before adhering them. Once I had everything where I thought it belonged, I restored the sticker stickiness with my ATG.

I loved all the birdie stickers on the Echo Park Element sheet and I used three of them on my layout.  At the top, I perched the first birdie on the pennants and I added a crocheted flower from Bella Blvd to the sun sticker on the journaling spot.

At the bottom of the page, I added two more birdies. On the branch, I added button flowers from Bella Blvd.  I took the title from the Beatles song, Good day, Sunshine.  The tune was running through my head the whole time I was making this page!
