Hip Hip Hooray: Layout Inspiration by Melinda

Happy Thursday... it's Melinda with you today and I'm going to show Hip Hip Hooray's versatility by sharing a layout I created with a non-birthday or celebratory theme! Sometimes it's easy to look at a collection and think 'I love it but I just don't scrap that particular theme'... however, if you flip the papers over you'll find an array of gorgeous patterns and prints that can be used for any style of layout... if you love it then you'll find a way!


I must admit I find it hard to go past a chevron print so used the grey reverse side of the Shades of Chevron for my background paper. Then I decided to go a little wild with colour by adding more of the reverse papers in a wave panel across the page. The idea was to really make the panel 'pop' against the grey background plus to have a little fun!


Now the actual theme of this layout isn't one I really wanted to celebrate because it broke my heart to make the decision to finally cut my little man's hair. However, he wasn't worried about it at all and was actually quite cute and cheeky during the trim so I decided to use that as my inspiration which led me to the collage of Sprinkles, Sequins, Buttons, Stickers etc!




The photo collage was mounted on a mat of patterned paper layers to which I added small touches of the new Sprinkles vellum to soften the overall look.


Would love for my hand writing to be this neat but sadly I can't lay claim to the journaling as I used the mini rub-ons in Lily White.

  17. I love the page with the waves of bright color layered with all the doodads! I do want to mention though that the word "too" was spelled as "to". I'm surprised nobody noticed it before!
