What a gorgeous layout and I think the techniques are wonderful. I agree, it IS all about the layers
Happy Scrapping!

I just love the pop of YELLOW on this LO! It is the perfect touch of brighness! Not to mention the new punch technique I just learned, amazing! LOVE IT!
Step 3: Tag & Stack
One of my very favorite things about this new paper collection is the shipping tags and the design elements we pre-printed onto them. Tags are so easy to add to projects and I love how Vicki originally tucked them in and layered them at the top. So right now we are going to start layering all the pieces on the top portion of this page. Be sure to only add adhesive in the center of the tags so we can “tuck” in the border stickers underneath.
I actually applied my border sticker first but I had to "eyeball it" which was a little tricky.
Adhere down the shipping tags and then position the zig zag border stickers across the top edges of the Calico newsprint paper. There aren’t really measurements for these steps; you will place the tags on the sheet - then add the border stickers and then layer all of the 3 paper strips one on top of another.
You can see I also went ahead and glued down my yellow photo mat paper as a guide.

I love the look of the punched circles /stamping. Great way to add visual interest. I don't have a circle punch or die cut system but have the old-school stencils. And my new go-to item is a circle stitching template. I can/t wait to put this idea to work. Thanks!
Happy Scrapping!

I am just in love with the idea of the little half circle punches to expose the background... I dono't know why that never occured to me. It's just lovely!

I always layer and mix patterned papers. I am not sure if it is my " go to" technique but I am not very good at white space and I totally adore how different patterns can come together to create interest. So...wow I guess my answer is mixing and matching patterns with lots of layers!

Loving this layout. Really like the blue because "male" layouts are hard to find or are really simple with lots of stripes. This technique is super cool and the color combo will be great for my nephews.
I just love your LO! Thanks for sharing it with us.
