Today I thought I’d share a couple of layouts I designed for the Fall issue of Canadian Scrapbooker magazine, using the playful collection from Fancy Pants called “Childish Things.”
This collection comes with wonderful embellishments, which I used on my two layouts: ribbon, rub-ons, stickers, alphabet, and glitter cut-outs.

| “Wish Upon a Star” |
I thought these fun bright papers were perfect for some photos of Disneyland. Here is BabyOfTheFamily in Toon Town, a trip we made a few years ago…when she was still interested in playing with fake TNT.

| This flower “glitter cut” serves as my pinwheel centre. |
 |
| Another glitter cut for my journaling spot |
 |
| I outlined the title with a black marker so it would stand out more. Isn’t this “Glitter Girl” adorable? |
The next layout is actually about one of my passions in life: community service. But the photo is not me! ha ha ha! It’s the teacher of the preschool on the first day of class.
 |
| “Amazing” |
Since we moved into our neighbourhood 12 years ago, I’ve been involved in our community league and a number of projects. Organizing a preschool for our neighbourhood is something that was near and dear to my heart. I am passionate about Education!

| Love this quote! It’s a rub-on. |

It’s funny, but I haven’t created with Fancy Pants papers in quite awhile…but I used to use them ALL the time.
I think you can relate: Too many papers….too little time!
I even felt a bit like a preschooler myself, working with this bright colour palette, cutting and pasting. Ahhhh….to be a child again!

I always learn something new here! I haven’t used FP in a long time either, but I just got The Good Life and am anxious to play. It looks really fun.
