Today the Echo Park Paper Design Team is showcasing projects from the "Note to Self" collection. I wanted to share this layout I created with a few funny photos from a family photo shoot last summer. I love that my kids have so many cute cousins (and we just found out there’s another one on the way – yay!!). I don’t take enough pictures of them all together…so I was glad when my friend, and our photographer (Lori Muse) captured these shots of the kids – being silly…it’s what they do best!
And here are a bunch of detail shots…so you can see more of the fun bits and pieces of this collection:
I love that big scallop border sticker…and the label stickers too:
Isn’t the number paper so fun? And the border strip with the pointing finger is a favorite of mine as well.
And the tickets, oh the tickets…in such a great color combo:
And one last thing to mention…I love how so many of the collections have big AND little letter stickers that coordinate – love it!
And there you have it – this is the final stop on the Note to Self hop (if you started from the beginning). If you missed any, hop back to the Echo Park Paper blog because you’re definitely going to want to visit every single stop – for inspiration AND for more chances to win! Yes, I said WIN!
One lucky winner will be selected from each blog to receive an Echo Park Paper collection kit of their choosing. All you have to do to qualify for a chance to win is leave a comment before midnight on Wednesday (April 18th). Tell me about the last note you wrote to yourself was for…mine was to jot down a price for a chair I’m hoping to buy for our family room…to qualify for the drawing. (It’s also helpful if you leave your e-mail address or some way to contact you if you win!) The winner will be announced on each blog Monday, April 23 so be sure to check back to see if you've won.
Happy Monday! :o)
p.s. I just got word that something “REALLY BIG” is in the works for Echo Park Paper Co. I have no clue what it is…but I can’t wait for the first part of May when we can find out!! ;)
What fun photos! I love candid shots, shows true personality! I love how you used so many patterns and it does not look overwhelming, great job!

ReplyDeleteWhat a GREAT layout! Love how you showcased the papers. This is one of my faves too!
ReplyDeleteThe last note I wrote myself....a list of things to do I guess, and I wrote it on my hand, because I tend to make lists and then lose them.....
i wrote a note to myself to remind me of about 30 things I have to do YIKES
ReplyDeletethanks
I love this layout! Looks like you were having great fun in the photos! Love how you used the elements too! The last note I wrote to myself??? - I'm always writing notes to myself! I am so forgetful! I am always making lists (and most of the time leaving them behind!) - the last 'note' was to make appointments with the doctors for medicals to apply for a green card to stay in this country! We are originally from the UK but prefer life here so much more! Thank you so much for the inspiration and the chance to win! :-) x
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you....I love this collection. Bought a bunch just last week. Your layout is wonderful!! New follower of your blog. Thanks for the inspiration. :)
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed this layout! Thank you for sharing it! I wrote a note to myself before going to the grocery store about what items were on sale at another store so I could compare prices. Save more on food, more to spend on scrapping :)
ReplyDeleteI wrote a note reminding myself to return a blouse that didn't fit. Always love your layouts!
ReplyDeleteGreat LO, liked it very much.
ReplyDeleteThank you for share it with us.

hee, you last comment, something "big" is in the works made me smile. Having met Madison and company, everything they do is "big"! but back to the question, my last note to self was to look up a guideline with an investor my company works with so i know what to do the next time the issue comes up. Very pretty layout, even tho it was for silliness.
ReplyDeleteI wrote myself a note about my TODO list for the day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant layout, I love it!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures. Coming from a large family, I know what a challenge it can be to get these group pictures. Your layout is so fun. My last note; quick notes from Jennifer Gallacher's 6x6 album project.
ReplyDeleteWonderful layout!! I can't wait to hear the big announcement from EP!! The last note I wrote was a To Do list for this week. Not too fun but necessary!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your inspiration!

ReplyDeletegreat layout--- so beautiful!
ReplyDeletelove your layout!!! my last 'note to self' was a reminder that my dd has her physical for basketball tryouts tomorrow evening...I would be absolutely LOST without my post-it notes!!!
ReplyDeleteI am more of a list taker...I write out all the time the "stuff" I have to do :)
ReplyDeletedlyaritz@hotmail.com
Oh so pretty layouts! My last note was a yummy soup recipe for a carrot-potatoe-soup :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome layout!!! I love all the layering and the colors are so pretty too!!! I am a total list person...I write a list everyday for what I'd like to get done the next day and then whatever I don't cross off, goes onto the next days list. I make lists for grocery, Target, Wally World, etc...and sometimes I even remember to take them with me! LOL Thanks for a fab post!
ReplyDeletehugs,
joni
i really liked this layout. I think I use my list notebook more than i use my journal! lol it's a way better understanding of my daily life.
ReplyDeleteLove the LO, really cute and all the layering. Very creative.

ReplyDeleteLast note I wrote was the supplies I used on my cards for my blog readers to know what I used. Love your LO!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you say about the letter stickers, it's really useful to have large and small ones that go together. The last note I made to myself was measurements for our kitchen blinds - a bit dull really!
ReplyDeleteMy last note to myself was the name of a book I want to check out at Amazon.

ReplyDeleteI love everything Echo Park. They can do no wrong.
ReplyDeleteMy last note was in my planner about planning a trip to the KC Royals game. Trying to decide to see the Red Sox's play or Oakland Athletics. Tough choice in our house.

Another great project to inspire me. Love the colors of this collection.
ReplyDeleteGreat LO! I love all the strips on the left!
ReplyDeleteMy last Note to Self was probably a post-it to let me know I needed to replace a photo mat on a LO (I specified the cardstock color and size so I wouldn't for get.) Ironically, I decided to take care of the problem right then and there, so I erased my note so I could re-use my post-it! TFS and for the chance to win Echo Park goodness!
I made my to do list for the week this morning.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree that everything EP does in fantastic!!! Great layout!!!

ReplyDeleteBut I make lists though, specially when packing, or shopping lists... Things I can't forget.
