Ahhh....summer! I am finally heading to the beach this weekend and this blog swap featuring Epiphany Crafts' superb shape studios and LYB's Splash and The Escape collections are absolutely perfect for vacation time! This next layout from Biker Chick Robbie Herring is sure to get you in the mood for some rest, relaxation, and fun (and of course a little bit of scrapbooking!). Here's Robbie to tell you all about it!
I love the Splash collection and how it really compliments almost any summer photo. I think that this collection almost scraps itself! Adding the Epiphany Crafts embellishments to the Little Yellow Bicycle collection certainly makes for a winning combination!
For all of my flower centers, I used Epiphany tools. I simply punched the paper to make my embellishments and poked a hole in the center so I could add a brad. It is really easy to punch through the center of the finished pieces using a Crop-a-Dile.
In this photo you can see that I used both the Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio Scalloped Circle and the Small Circle. I used the brads that were included in the Paper Crafting Kit for all the centers. I thought it was a fun coincidence that one of the centers included in the kit fit perfectly on the back of the sticky epoxy piece from Epiphany Crafts.
I think that my favorite thing about the Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio tool is that you can see what you are punching. I was able to punch exactly where I wanted on the patterned paper. I was able to perfectly place the centers for my flowers. So great and so easy to do!
Of course, like some of the other girls, I couldn't resist making some bubbles for my page. The Small Round Shape Studio was the perfect size to add some little bubbles around my title.
