Backseat Treat: Fancy Pants Designs


Hi everyone.  We're in the midst of the dog days of summer here. It's been hot, hot, hot. And when it's hot, well, you gotta have ice cream!

The sherbert-y colors in this pretty striped paper by Fancy Pants Designs reminded me of ice cream and popsicles and made a nice backdrop for this layout about snagging a cone after swim lessons. I used the Memories Captured collection for this page. It's one of the mid-releases from Fancy Pants and has a fun mix of soft colors and chalkboard. I particularly like the mint, coral and blue hues in this collection. They pop so nicely against the black. 



Fancy Pants has several cork themed products out now that are so cute and trendy.  I used a cork envelope here (layered on a glassine bag) as a spot for my title, adding some letter stickers, die cuts and a sunny little pennant. 

Are you using cork and chalkboard items in your projects these days? I am seeing them everywhere. 

I appreciate your stopping by!

  1. These colors really pop with the bit of black, Izzy. So refreshing, just like an ice cream. Love the little clusters around the page, especially the layered banners. This is making me think I should give up being the driver, so I can sit in back and have a little treat myself. :)
