Happy Chef!

I won't lie.  As soon as I saw this Echo Park 'Life is Good' line I fell in love and bought the whole thing.  I liked some of the patterned papers more than others, but there wasn't a single item that I can't imagine using.  The little houses are so fun and I thought they went perfectly for my daughter playing 'house' and making me a delicious plastic cheeseburger!  The only thing not Echo Park that I used for this layout is the adhesive (including the pop dots I used to pop up the house and double pop up the heart) and the gemstones that came in a $1 package at Joanns.

I followed the sketch posted at Pencillines with a little stretching.  Instead of the banner I used a scalloped cardstock sticker and gemstones to add some interest at the top and instead of the fence I used layered cardstock stickers.  I did draw inspiration from the fence.  It led me to the 'playing house' photo!!  I also had to alter it to fit the 8½x11 that I am trying to work on at the moment so I could only get one landscape 4x6 photo instead of 3 square photos.  I promise that I looked at that sketch the whole time LOL!!!
