Life’s a Beach

 For those of us in the southern hemisphere the weather is finally warming up and beach days are back!

🌞 🐚 🐚 🐚 🌞

This is of course my favourite scrapbook page theme so I'm kicking the 21/22 summer season off with some  beachy layouts and a special card...

Stencils are the hero's of this first page ... 

I've inked Circles on the background of the sky, shells onto the sandy base of the page 

and of course some silhouette flying birds about like gulls.

 

I also ended up using some of these super cute beach chippies as embellishments on the page - coloured using Distress inks. And of course I have a scrap words title to top it all off.

 

Summer Holiday Layout

Sometimes you need to get more than just one photo on a page right?

Well holidays photos are a lot like that for my huge family and divided pages

are a great way to get this done.

Here I have separated my photos into the existing panels on the paper to help frame 

them nicely while still getting a decent number of the onto the page. 

I used my beachy chipboards to simply dress the page up after getting all my photos on there 

 

And as I often do - I tossed as many of these scrap words all over the page as I could. 

I'm not a HUGE fan of journaling - but I do enjoy setting the mood with these wonderful little word tiles.

 

And with my leftovers from the two pages above I was able to make this special Z-fold card.

This special one was for my Daughters 16th Birthday - she adores the beach also and 

you have to go the extra mile of the big birthdays right!? 😉

Scapmatts have this fabulous Z-Fold card template that makes these kinds of cards too easy.

All I needed was a sheet of A4 card stock, a scorer and a pencil and this was 

ready to decorate in 3 mins flat!

The chipboard 'Happy Birthday' title was coloured using distress inks - a light blue on 

the top of the letters and a darker one on the base. Over the top of these I added shine lines with

a medium while gel pen - for a nice glossy wet look. 

And yes - again with more scrap words ! lol

🤣 🤣 🤣

 

  

Well that's it from me this month my creative friends, 

but I promise to continue to bombard you with summer layouts well into the coming season. 

Many, many smiles

Welcome Aboard

Hello and welcome again.

Today I would like to share with you my take on the CSI Challenge Case 258. for July.

Submissions need to be submitted by July 31st.

My inspiration for this challenge was this clock I found on one of my shopping trips to the Salvo's.

 I was inspired by the Scene. 

This clock reminded me of our recent cruise.

    

I decided to turn it into a photo frame.

The photo matt is actually a sick bag from my scavenger hunt for our scrapbook challenges.

It is attached in place with the nautical paperclips, so that it can be removed and then used as a clock.

   

All the chipboard used is available from Scrapmatts.
I have also used some twine, shells and starfish (old hanger) and some art stones.
