Go See Do || Scrapbook Layout || First Edition Storyteller

Hi all,

I have a new layout to share today using the First Edition Storyteller paper pad and tropical dies from Trimcraft.

The picture is of Nathan paddling in the sea when we went to Spain last year. My favourite picture ever, I never expected to ever see him in the sea without me having to ask very nicely if he'll come in with me. We had a lot of fun on that holiday. 

Here's a close up of the lettering. In truth I'm not that happy with it, I would have liked to use something bigger but as this is a DT project for Trimcraft I had to use their products. Looking at it now though it's not so bad. Understated!

Ahoy! || Scrapbook Layout || Simply Creative Kraft Keepsake

Hi all,

I have a layout to share today using the Simply Creative Kraft Keepsake paper pad and First Edition nautical dies from Trimcraft.

The picture is of one of the 'pirate ships' in Whitby. It was taken on the super hot day last September and the light was great for photography and I was able to get this really clear shot. 

I initially wanted to use lots of mixed media on this layout but it didn't really work with the papers - the paper had lots of strong black lines on it and the picture and die cuts got lost. So I removed that paper and this plain one was behind it and looked a lot better.

Seahorse Mixed Media Tag

Hi all

Here's a little tag I made for a challenge on Things To Alter. The challenge was to simply make a tag of any theme.
For this I thought of a little beach hut so once I die cut my tag, I added on a corner to the top. I painted the tag in stripes of light and dark blue and then added ricrac to the top to look like a beach hut roof.
I covered the bottom half of the tag in PVA glue and sprinkled sequins across it. The sequins are from Poundland and I love how there are so many different shapes and colours in a pack.
I used the seahorse and seashell MDF shapes from Things To Alter and covered them with blue gelato (but next time I'll just use paint - nothing wants to stick to gelato covered MDF, not even hot glue!)

Thanks for stopping by!
