1974

Hey there gals and maybe a few guys =D  Carole here to share a fun layout with you all.  I've used one of Paper Trunk's lines that perhaps hasn't been seen in a while and that's the super groovy "1974".  I love the fun colors here!  As some may know, I'm also on the Design Team for Helmar USA which is one of our preferred partners.  Well this month they have a challenge going on over on the Helmar blog called "Red, White, & Glue" which goes along with this great sketch from my teammate Lydell Quinn.

I really enjoy working with sketches and not always as literally as they're drawn.  I also don't usually work in such a clean style, but that's how the colorful graphics of the 1974 line spoke to me and I think it really made the elements pop.  It's a little refreshing to try on a different style now and then don't you think?

The heavy weight of Paper Trunk's quality papers really makes doing any sort of fussy cutting so much nicer!  The photo in my layout is from a family gathering in the summer of  '08.  Do you have any family reunions planned for the summer?

Supplies:  Patterned Paper, Paper Trunk "1974"; Felt flowers and round epoxies, Epiphany Crafts; Alpha Stickers,  American Crafts Thickers; Chipboard, Magistical Memories; Adhesives, Helmar Quickfix Adhesive Runner, Helmar Zapdots, Helmar 450 Quick Dry.

Well, I'm so glad that you were here today and I hope you enjoyed my layout! 

Have a happy scrappy weekend!
