Oh I do love to be beside the seaside! Fresh air, sunshine and water!
My entry for ...
... CASology Challenge : Tear
Even though the paper tearing can be quite busy, if you keep it small, then you can keep it CAS.
I had thought I could add it to the sea challenge on Less is More, but I had forgotten that it was a one layer challenge.
I need to get back scrapping more pages (my kids want their pages done!) and I'm doing lots of cards as they are so much quicker. So I have enrolled at the mother load of scrapping classes at Big Picture Scrapbooking.
We are in training for 8 weeks before starting the marathon of 26 layouts in 26 days. Will be interesting.
So week 1 we look at why we scrapbook, and I came up with this layout which I decided to do in an altered book.
Since one of the reasons I like to scrap is to use my stamps, I had to use them on the page . . . from Club Scrap, Stampin' Up, and Hero Arts. Love browns and blues, butterflies, dots!
There are 3 challenges at Scrap rendez-vous this month, and I wanted to enter all 3, but starting at the 11th hour . . . and don't even know if these 2 will make it in time.
First Valerie's sketch challenge, of which we had a choice of 2, and I chose
and my card is . . .
Then there is the So British challenge. I have been sitting on doing my London album since October last year, to this was the kick I needed. Just loved the vibrant colours in the fabrics of the inspiration . . .
And that's exactly what I spotted at Covent Gardens . . . vibrant colours . . . popsicles . . . hats . . . ties . . . I just was inspired by it!
This is one of my favourite layouts . . . pretty clean and clear . . . I wanted to give the feeling of the open sky and sea. But with the detail of the woven photo (one colour, one black and white). This brings back the feeling of that afternoon so well.
