Once upon a time, my layout started with one sheet of paper and a pair of sharp scissors. The 'High Five' paper from Sunshine & Happiness was screaming chop me up!  lol.  

That is exactly what I did!  Then I separated the colors and lined them into rainbow form.  

Tucking them behind my photo was the challenge.  

They keep moving on me!  Using a wet fine tip adhesive helped lock them in place. I felt this color combo looked best on the amazing woodgrain paper 'Dig it" from Bloom & Grow.

For my second layout I pulled out the Life in Color collection.  

YES!  It is important to have fun in life and these two kids know how to do just that when they are together.  

I loved the blacks and whites with the Life in Color collection.  At first, I attempted to keep it black white and turquoise.  That did not last long.  Slowly red and yellow crept in, but I did keep those minimal.  I think my favorite is the Expressions Sticker letters.  Combining them can really make fun titles.  I started this layout by cutting a big triangle out of the polka dot paper, raising it with foam tape and backing it with a basic white cardstock.  I used the Washi Papers along the seams to help make the white on white pop a bit.  

I think it is fun to play with paper and layer ephemera!  What do you find fun?
