SneakerGirl | Inspiration

Hey Y'all! Mandy here again today with another new project to share.
I had a basic simple design in mind when I started creating this layout. I wanted to stick with just a few colors and I made a I searched through my Evalicious products I pulled all those colors that fell into the the scheme. I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out.  

Here's a tip I figures out when I was creating I had this label "Currently Life Right Now" and it didn't fit my layout so I covered the "ly Life Right" part with the "Story" Badge. 

I used the puffy stickers, labels, and paperclips as part of my long large journaling. The mix keeps your eye moving throughout the layout.

Hello Summer | Inspiration

Hey everyone! Mandy here to share a new project with you today. 

One thing I really love about Evalicious products is no matter how old or new the paper you're creating with is the product still works, it's like that little black dress. On this layout I used old Sassafras Lass pattern paper with the following Evalicious products Hello 2014 badge buttons v2, just us badge buttons v2, just us misc. puffy stickers v1, and real life snipsnip labels.

The layout looks like it has a lot of layers and dimension but it doesn't, it's the Sassafras Lass paper. One of my favorite ways to add layers to a layout is by put snipsnip labels under photos. 

I added the badges at the top of the layout and the bottom of the layout after I distress and folded the edge of the pattern paper over a bit. love the way it looks and it was a great touch to finish off my layout. 

Thanks for joining me today!

Mo⎪Inspiration

Hey y'all! Mandy Koeppen here today sharing a 12x12 layout inspiring you to use your Evalicious products on those pet pages. Some times we purchase themed products thinking we can only use that product with projects around that theme but it's totally not true, just take a look at this layout I created about by pup Mo. You won't find a dog themed product on this layout. That's right grab those products that are themed towards the everyday, travel, & camera love then use them on your next pet layout.

Mo by. Mandy Koeppen
I wanted to create this layout so that one day in the future when the kids are flipping thru the scrapbooks they will remember Mo from their childhood and all the goofy things this dog does. 
As I was getting ready to create this layout I started with the color scheme and pulled whatever I could from many different Evalicious line. 

In this detail shot you can see using a typewriter I typed out my journaling on one of the hello 2014 large tags and used the "i go…" button from vintage maps mini fatback buttons . Who knew a travel product would work on a page about a dog? He loves to go bye bye so it was perfect. 

I used another hello 2014 large tags to add some layers under my journaling card. I embellished with Hello 2014 Miscellany v1 Puffy Stickers, hello 2014 badges v1,hello 2014 badge buttons v2,hello 2014 snipsnip labels,camera love puffy stickers. The heart border was hand stitched

Thanks for stopping by the blog today! Remember themed products can be used on all sorts of projects. 
Have a great weekend!

Sunshiney Day | Inspiration

Hey Everyone! Mandy bringing you some Sunshiney Spring inspiration in the form of an 8.5x11 layout. 

To create this layout I grabbed my Evalicious drawer from my cart and my scrap paper bin. The first thing I grabbed was that card I cut into a frame and it inspired me to think outside my box and have a bit of fun with this layout. 

I'll be honest I'm not much of a stamper or mister it's just too messy for me but since joining the Evalicious team and getting all the fabulous stamps I am using stamps more often on my pages now. In this detail shot you can see I used 2 label stamps but the lower one I stamped wrong so what was I going to do? Instead of starting over I cut a piece of coordinating paper in a labelish shape and tucked in. I love that it adds one more layer to my layout. 

Layers! I probably sound like a broken record with every post but it's my go to right now lots of layers and lots of foam adhesive squares. I used foam adhesive squares on the back of the frame. 

More messiness and stamping. I love mixing the Evalicious arrow stamps with the Puffy embellishments. Spring colors, wonky journaling lines and paper cuts make this a fun bright layout. 

Thanks for joining me today! Have a wonderful Tuesday!

this Gal | Inspiration

Hey Everyone! Mandy here today bringing you some 8.5x11 layout inspiration.  

I used a mix of the various Evalicious collections that I will have linked and listed for you below. I started this layout with that photo from my birthday last year then I just started grabbing different bits and pieces not know where this layout was going.   

I thought it would be cool to have the badges and puffy stickers be part of journaling about me and my life at age 31. 

This photo shows how I added some layers and dimension with the Real Life Snipsnip 3x4 tags.  I cut the hello arrow with a craft knife and added a foam square underneath. 

To give the journaling a little added pop and funky look I traced around the thickers and added some of my own scribbles.
I hope this layout has inspired you to grab your Evalicious products to use on a layout about you! I would love to see what y'all are creating so please link up in the comments!

Mr. Harmonica Man | Inspiration

Hi, Evalicious Fans! Mandy Koeppen here with an 8.5x11 layout that I hope inspires you to create with your Evalicious product this weekend!

This layout is really simple and quick to create. When I say quick like 30 minutes or less quick and we all love quick ? Of course!
My son has a love for the photo booth app on my phone and I have a love for photo strips so when I saw these photos I knew the Evalicious products would be a fun to use to document my Mr. Harmonica Man photos. 
I love the journal cards and the images not them but I'm not a project lifer so I tend to use them on my layouts in different ways life this "Today's Story" tag from the Hello 2014 Large Tags Set . The card really didn't fit the way I wanted it to so I used my craft knife to cut around the arrow them tucked the photo strip into the cutout and added a foam square for dimension. I love the puffy No.1 sticker from the Hello 2014 Miscellany v2 Puffy Stickers but only wanted the circle to show so again I thought outside the box instead of cutting it I tucked it under the photo strips. 

I think we all love Evalicious badges but I especially love the sayings and images on the Hello 2014 Badges v1. Adding badges to this layout was a great way to break up all those straight lines. 

In this detail shot I wanted to show that page tabs don't have to be used just as tabs. I usually always cut them apart and use them in a different way like on this layout. The "Play" tab from the Hello 2014 Snipsnip Page Tabs I cut in half added some dimension with a foam square and then stapled it to the page.

I hope you've been inspired not only by the quick and simple but also to think of different ways to use your Evalicious products next time you use them.

Thanks for joining me today! Have a fabulous Friday!

It's All Your's | Inspiration

Hi, Everyone! Mandy Koeppen here with my first Evalicious design team creation. Today I'm going to share this fast and simple layout with you.

Right now I am a big fan of creating projects with lots of simple geometric shapes especially triangles, squares, and circles. So everything in the Evalicious Shop is right up my alley. 


I love that layered look of the frames and the Real Life snipsnip labels & tabs. Even though the layering is flat(with the exception of the fabulous puffy sticker) it still gives the layout some dimension. The colors of the Real Life Collection work fab with this photo I captured of my husband looking out over our property the fall after we purchased it.
I really love how the frames and Evalicious product colors give that extra pop to the enlarged photo and dark background.
