Shape Up Your Scrapbooking: Speech Bubbles

We've been talking about shapes all month; today's topic is an especially fun one - speech bubbles! Here's a look at how we're seeing speech bubbles show up in our scrapbook pages:

Mlepea records a conversation that happened the same week she created her page "Thoughts On." The white bubbles pop against a bold red woodgrain.

Lisa Truesdell tells the story of her 5 year old chatty son while working with the Twine + Ink vellum die cuts. She embellishes each one with a different mix of goodies.  See the video tutorial on how this page came together here.

Jill Sprott journals from her pet's perspective on her layout "There's the Rub."  She's hand-cut a piece of Amy Tangerine paper and ran the speech bubbles through her printer.

Jrench fills a large section of her background with speech bubbles.  On a second piece of paper she's printed her journaling on the shapes, and then cut them out and realigned them onto the original.

Chantalle Mcdaniel records her daughter's voice quite literally on her page "Say What?!" She's filled speech bubbles with the pronunciation of her daughter's vocabulary and then hid a voice recorder behind her photo.  

There are many ways to incorporate speech bubbles on our projects - fussy cut them, stamp them, use premade die cuts or stickers.  Many of them are perfect for card sentiments too!  Here are a few of our favorite speech bubbles; shop our entire selection here.

If You Like...

If you like colors that remind you of birthday sprinkles and delicate calligraphy type, you'll love the new Sweet Notes collection by Allison Kreft for Webster's Pages.  This eclectic line is all about the adventures and sugary indulgances in life with the way it weaves in motifs of bicycles, good books and jars of jam.  You'll enjoy its fresh patterns, bold color palette and can't-go-wrong icons of nature like birds, woodgrains and florals:
