I Am Silly

Posted on by

Life can be so serious. Sometimes you just have to cut loose and be a little ridiculous. Scraps N Pieces’ latest kit I Am Silly celebrates those little moments with the big giggle factor that makes life more fun! The playful color palette feels like a good laugh – bright poppy oranges and yellows, cool blues, and some greens to help keep you on your toes. The elements are perfectly versatile, encompassing banners, ribbons, flowers, ephemera, and silly giraffes guarantees to elicit a chuckle. The coordinating papers are playfully patterned, the alpha is a little bit off-kilter, and the word art is perfect for reminding you to indulge in a little silliness. So break out of the day-to-day doldrums and get your fun on with I Am Silly. Previews are linked to purchase the items in this kit for 50% off for the first 5 days of release.

The giraffes in this kit are just too cute, so I knew I wanted to use as many as I could. This first layout documents Janette feeding the giraffes at the Albuquerque Zoo in August 2017. Check out that long tongue.

This kit is so cute. We didn’t ride Splash Mountain when we visited WDW in 2014, so I went way back for this first layout. I scanned my ride photo from when we visited when I was in 8th grade.
