While browsing through my photos the other day I found some from my daughter\u2019s third birthday party in 2012. It was so fun to see her little smiling face, and I just had to scrapbook my favorite photo of her. The colors and celebratory theme of the photo fit perfectly with the fun new Anything Goes collection<\/a>, so I pulled out some papers and embellishments from my stash and came up with this fun page.<\/p>\n This collection is full of awesome embellishments and journaling cards so I decided to create a collage design element on my page, and then sprinkle some of the lovely goodies around for fun. I love the result!<\/p>\n I\u2019ve got a few tips to share with you for using some of the fun items in this adorable collection. I\u2019ll start with a tip for using the brads. Previously I shared a tip for using brads on cards HERE<\/a>, and today I\u2019ll show you a tip for using brads on layouts. I like to use a paper piercer when attaching brads to my layouts. That\u2019s an easy way to make a little hole where your prongs fit perfectly without creasing your paper.<\/p>\n Once I insert the prongs and set them, I cover them with a piece of washi tape. That way they don\u2019t get caught as I\u2019m inserting the layout into the photo sleeve. Plus, I know my washi tape is safe to use and won\u2019t destroy my photos.<\/p>\n The next tip will help with adhering intricate die cuts to your pages. When I\u2019m cutting a thin font, or an intricate design I like to add an adhesive transfer sheet to the back of the paper before die cutting. Then I simply peel the sheet off the back and adhere the die cut to my page. Easy peasy!<\/p>\n \n Finally, I love to layer bits and pieces of journaling cards and stickers when creating a collage element on my pages. I\u2019ll often have just a bit of an item peeking out from behind something else. To make my supplies stretch further I trim those items before adhering them to my page, and save the other bits to use on another project.<\/p>\n Check out the darling new Anything Goes collection. It\u2019s perfect for celebrations of any kind. I hope these tips were helpful. Be sure to try one on your next layout. Let us know how it goes!<\/p>\n Supplies:<\/p>\n Anything Goes Journaling Cards Paper<\/a> Source: Echo Park While browsing through my photos the other day I found some from my daughter\u2019s third birthday party in 2012.
