Hello Adventure Nautical Layouts

Hello Adventure
Nautical Layouts

Good Morning and welcome to May
Today I will be sharing with you layouts I have completed from my recent trip to the South Pacific with Melissa Kennedy.


    

This layout was inspired by a Bingo challenge that Melissa handed out, as well as a scavenger hunt challenge.
Items collected are shells from the beach, embellishment bought onboard (chipboard) and picture of the ship (in the background of the photo).

I have used the beautiful BEACH SHACK COLLECTION from Kaisercraft.


I have used the CB1221 Nautical Designs from Scrapmatts. 
I have also used the very new - CT008 - Hello Adventure Word 


I decided not to colour the chipboard, as I like the look of the natural colour with this layout.
This is the chipboard used on the layout. CB1221.


**********************



This layout is the second one I have created using the left overs from the Beach Shack Collection.

This layout is for our scavenger hunt challenge.
On this one the items used are the shore collection guide, shells found on the beach and a doily.




Chipboard used on this layout again is the CB1221 and the word is a new product CT009.

If you wish to purchase any of this chippy head over to the website.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out all the other fabulous designs from our amazing design team and please welcome our newest members by showing a little love.

Until next month
Stay safe and warm.

My MAY Creating with Scrapmatts.

Hello there,
So great you have come by today! I have two layouts to share with you and I have used photos of my cute nephew when he was much younger.  I have used the same photo a few times now because it shows his fun side and I just think it captures his nature so well..Scrapbooking can be about remembering a moment and if the photo really inspires me then I use that photo over and over..

The first layout is one I created a while ago but I haven't shared on here yet. It is a simple layout using older papers and fun photos of my nephew..  Here are some closer views..

The cogs are always my go to embellishment for male layouts..And they are so easy to cut to size to suit your page. and I simply coated these in black gesso.

Gota love a splat or two and those Words were painted in bright green paint.. and a few arrows look great to add some movement to a page..

my layout..

Just goes to show a great design fun photos and a few well placed embellishments make a simple yet eye catching page!

Here are the fabulous SCRAPMATTS  products I have used on my page with a link to the online store..

ST5012 Stencil Paint Splatters 

 

CB5107 Arrows 01

And my second layout was created for this months challenge over at Color, Stories, Inspiration  where the Design Team from Scrapmatts are guesting as Scrapmatts are a sponsor this month... If you play along you could win some wonderful prizes!!

This is for #253 which was released on the 1st May. You can find details of the challenge over on the C.S.I. BLOG.

Some closer views.



 I began with white cardstock which I added some colors to using a dauber and ink and stencils. The details you can add this way are endless using the many SCRAPMATTS STENCILS  
 available.


I love these words which have been painted in blue paint.. and another splat!!

Lurve the Scrapmatts filmstrips too!

I also added some Scrapmatts Flags painted in blue and placed them alternately with paper ones..  Adds some dimension to the look.

 I popped a little kite flying up in the air and my page was done!

May Creations with Tania

 Hi there!

Tania back joining you today to share my May Scrapmatts creations!!  Wow May already the year is just flying by!  

In saying that my first share for today is a layout!

"You Make Life Beautiful"


I created the background for this layout using the Bubbles stencil, randomly placing it on the page and adding colour until I was happy!
I used the gorgeous Ornate Ovals in the White finish and cut them in half and added them to each side of the photo and on each edge too....  I embellished the page with lots of yummy blooms and finished it by tucking in some of the chipboard Stamens from the Wildflower collection and a chipboard title from the assorted words 28.

Here's a few close ups...........












My second project to share with you is a canvas!

"Love the Way you Smile"


I had lots of fun creating this.  I started by using the mini Printer's Tray 6 and adhered it to my canvas, separating the two pieces and overlapping them over each other, I then randomly used the Bubbles stencil over the canvas to add extra texture.  Once dry I gave it a coat of gesso. (see image below)


Then I had some fun adding colour, I wanted the canvas to be quite vibrant so I used Dylusions sprays and keeping adding colour until I was happy.  I altered the String Circles and Star shapes using Viva Inka- Gold paint and the Leaf Sprays with Lindy's Magicals.  Finished my canvas by adding lots of pretty blooms and a Title from the Scrap Words 21 Chipboard set.

A few close ups........
















Well that's all from me today,  I do hope I have inspired you all a little.  Be sure to check out the store here for all your gorgeous Scrapmatts goodies........

 Until next time, happy crafting Tania xx
