Anchors Away Layout

Hello friends!  I hope you are having a great day so far.  Today I wanted to share a layout that I created for the June Challenge at Creative Embellishments as well as the "In The Navy" Challenge going on at Paper Issues.   That song is so catchy! The challenge is to create something nautical and I had the perfect photos and papers for both challenges.  Also, I have been hoarding some nautical chipboard pieces for quite a while so it was a no brainer to use them.

Here are some more detailed closeups of my page.  I dabbed a bit of Tim Holtz Distress Paint,  in Picket Fence, over the corrugated background paper to give it more of a weathered look.  The chipboard pieces were first covered with embossing powder and then I brushed some distress paint to give them more of a weathered look as well.  The title was cut on my Silhouette Cameo.  My husband and I love the ocean and this was such a fun day at the Comox Marina looking at all the sailboats and boats.

This layout was created from a sketch designed by Sue Sykes for the Canadian Scrapbooker Sketchy Challenge for June.  I flipped the sketch to the right.

I hope you enjoyed your visit.  Thanks for visiting my blog.  Have a great day!

Black With 2 June Mood Board And Layout

Happy Sunday everyone!  It's a beautiful day where I live and I am so excited to start a new month.  June is my favourite month of the year. I think why I love the month of June so much is because everything is so green and fresh here and the trees are blooming and the flowers are being planted. It's also a new month of scrapbooking and that is always exciting.  Today at Black With 2, we are revealing our new challenge and mood board.  Take a look at this pretty palette.  For June, here is the new mood board

The sketch to create with

Also, the word "sweetness" has to be on the layout either as a title or in the journaling.  This is what I came up with.  It's a little mixed media and a little of traditional scrapbooking.  I made this Royal Raspberry Cake that is a perfect cake for the summer.  

I hope you are inspired to create and link up your creation over at Black With 2 and while your there, check out what my fellow team members created.   Also, if you want the recipe for Royal Raspberry Cake, please leave a comment below.  I will assure you that you will make it again and again and it's so easy to make.  Have a wonderful day!

June Sketchy Challenge At Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine

Hi friends!  I hope you are having a nice day.  It's gorgeous and sunny here today and it makes me think of summer vacation and the beach.  

Today I am sharing a layout that I created for the June Sketchy Challenge over at Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine.  The sketch is courtesy of Sue Sykes.

I have so many papers in my stash and it was time to pull out October Afternoon's Seaside Collection and use it.  I love the colours and stickers to this collection.

here are a few closeups:

I fussy cut the scalloped banner and the little boy and girl.

I made a banner with buttons and layered some stickers and a flair button from The Paper Bakery.
