Seaside vibes


Cleveland 2018


This layout was inspired by Soul Scrappers July sketch challenge. I struggled with the balance of this layout. It finally came together when I added some embellishments {Dusty Attic Creative Layers #1 chipboard}

Tags

I've started to add some spine tags to my travel journals. So fun using up scraps and I love having some fun dangles on the outside covers.  These ones were created using Tic Tac Toe challenge prompts at Life is Art ~ Costa Rica online crop:


This is how it looks when attached to the journal cover -

Cyber cropping

Three of the pages I created from challenge prompts at Life is Art ~ Costa Rica online crop:

I took inspiration from the white background and circles. I think it's a perfect design for a filler page to get one of those 'extra' photos finally scrapped. Journalling is based on the information on the Mount Morgan website.

Inspired to add a bird to my page :)

Mini works of art - June

Still not caught up, but I did manage to get some of the June prompts completed for the Scrapping Clearly - Mini Works of Art challenge.

Week 23 (Words/Quotes) - "Thriving" 
This theme had me stumped at first. I liked the idea of including potted plants, which either thrive brilliantly or fail spectacularly at my place! I added the quote {Kaisercraft Botanica ephemera tab} because I think that friends are necessary for us to thrive rather than just survive. The title is made from Simple Stories Hello Baby - Expressions cardstock stickers.

Week 24 (Colour) - Silver, Grey Blue


- . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . -

Week 25 (Theme) - Winter
I laughed when I saw this theme, because I had only just completed the previous week's prompt!  So I made something similar, in a different colour scheme. I chose the paper {Kaisercraft Sparkle collection} for the embossed snowflake design.  Title/sentiment is made from very old AdornIt/Carolee's Creations Buckaroo alphabet stickers.

Mini Works of Art - May

Last month was a bit hectic, and I'm playing a bit of catch up for the Scrapping Clearly - Mini Works of Art challenge, May prompts.

Week 19 (Words/Quotes) - "Beauty" 
I stretched this a bit and used the word beautiful {Authentique Classique - Components sticker sheet}. The base image is from a rice paper sheet {ScrapFX Graffiti Peeps - Snarky}.


I'm sharing this ATC at:

* Simon Says Wednesday ~ Add a sentiment

* Colorful Options ~ Tiffany Blue
I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Peacock Feathers.

- . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . -

Week 20 (Colour) - Yellow, Orange & Gold
I stencilled with Distress Inks - Mustard Seed & Carved Pumpkin and edged the card with Distress Spray Stain - Tarnished Brass.


- . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . -

Week 21 (Theme) - Vintage
Raided my paper scraps to pull this together {Graphic 45 Come Away With Me collection and vintage boook paper}.
