Hello there! Missy here with you today. I couldn’t help but laugh when I first opened the Market Street Nob Hill collection…mostly because as soon as I saw the Chipboard Elements sheet I noticed the adorable fox. I’m sure you’ve heard (over and over) the hilarious song “What Does the Fox Say?” Well, there’s a chipboard speech bubble that says that!
I have to say that the song was one that was stuck in my head for a really long time. My best friend and I spent many times goofing off to the song, and I just knew I had to capture one of those moments on a layout. Call me cheesy, but these fun and silly moments are ones I want to remember the most J
I chose a crazy photo of us…no doubt making those crazy noises to the Fox song. I chose the Nob Hill Stripes paper as my background because of all the gorgeous colors. I used gesso to fade out some of the stripes so they wouldn’t look so busy up against the other papers. Next, I used watercolors to paint several rectangles onto the background. I think it’s fun to change things up like this…they almost serve as solid patterned papers or cardstock. I built my layers on top of that, including a sheet of the song lyrics. Those crazy lyrics are something you just can’t explain, right?! Haha!

The chipboard pieces in this line are just gorgeous. I love the really long script words, like this Awesome piece. I layered it underneath that cute fox head. Here you can see the green watercolor up close. If you use some gesso over your patterned paper first, the watercolor really stands out. I also used some of the label stickers, enamel dots and some of the Necessities metallic decorative tape. That gold glitter is my favorite!
Gold chipboard hearts! Oh my goodness…just so pretty. I layered some of the Necessities alpha & word stickers on top of it with an enamel dot. I love that there are ready-made words and separate alphas so you can create your own words, like I did here.
The decorative brads are also very beautiful in this collection. There is something for everyone here…even floral patterns. I threw in some shiny gold thread here for some extra shine amongst the patterned paper and watercolor layers.
Be sure to check out all the fun chipboard pieces in the Market Street collection. I like that there so many words and shapes to choose from. And the colors are just stunning!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
