I have been looking forward to the new Wonder collection ever since I first saw it. I don't have any small kids, but the colors and designs were just too perfect! I knew I'd easily use this collection for all my everyday projects. First up...using that super cute cat paper! Totally not hard for me with this family! Because this paper is quite bold I decided to use it on the opposite side of my photo. I trimmed a piece that almost took up a quarter of my page.
Besides that I cut two more pieces... each smaller than the next to create a wonky grid on the top portion of my page. You'll be seeing a lot of that diamond paper on future projects from me I'm sure!
Once I was happy with those three larger pieces of paper I glued them down and started to play around with embellishments. Really, this just means taking cute things out of their package and moving them around on the page.
Before long I decided to run a column of embellishments down the right side of my page.
I added the "Special for Today" die-cut for a title and then added another die-cut and a portion of the glitter square stickers below that. Small strips of patterned papers at the bottom of the page ground the entire layout.
The large portion of cat paper looked a little lonely so I layered in a shipping tag for some more journaling.
I'm not confident in my stamping so I used the self-inking "hello" stamp to stamp on a scrap piece of paper. This would let me trim it out and adhere it to my tag instead of goofing up and having to toss a tag. Good thing too... because it took me three tries to get it right.
To finish the page I added my journaling and a LOT of stitching.
I'm loving how versatile this collection is! And that cat paper? Yah... I think I'll need a few more sheets.
