Sea theme at Archi-scraps

Archi-scraps' March theme is use a whale or sea theme and be inspired by this photo.

Here is my DT submission.

The beach subsets at Cable Beach in Broome are legendary.  The "money shots" are the ones with the yacht and a bird in them. The yacht is a hired one that takes people out to get the full sunset experience.

My journalling is all about the bird and there's a bird sticker too. Definitely nailed the sea theme. 

Take a look at the facebook page to see the other DT's submissions and then let's see what you will do.

Thanks for looking.

My layout

 The layout I lifted

I have participated in Soul Scrappers' LIFT91 challenge. The idea was to lift some inspiration from a layout offered.

The things I chose were to have my design go mainly up the centre. I have some chipboard cogs which I coloured with metallic silver pen and then added dimensional magic to. It gave them a lovely sheen. I have some arrows and a dash of yellow and blue.

It was a fun design to make.

Travel layout and sea card

Hi there.

I've been playing along with Mystical Scrapbooks and their "Around the World in 8 Weeks" comp.

Here is this week's challenge.

When it think of France, I think of all that fabulous art in Paris and also the flag, which is red, white and blue.

I've had a lot of fun with sponging paint on to paper. I used 5 different colours to match the photo I used in my layout.

I chose the paper on the far right above to use as my entire background paper.

You see the art in my photo is a mosaic in the lobby of a Hotel I stayed at in Borneo. I really wanted to recreate it myself in my page.  I used my big shot to cut out all of those tiny red fish.  I'm really pleased with the layout.

I had some left over so I decided to make a card as well.

I also used another bit of the painted cardstock on the card.

Thanks for looking.

May 2021 Unstampabelles' challenge - Adventures

Hi all. May is upon us. Looking for a fun project? Try this challenge at Unstampabelles.

Challenge #111

ADVENTURES 

TWIST: Use something three times

Repetition is the key -three buttons; one word - repeated there times; three different papers or ribbons or die cuts.....whatever is in threes.

I've decided to do a layout.

You can see that I have used a 6x6 patterned paper with suitcases on it. I divided it into 3 to help meet the criteria and fill up more of the 12x12 page. The base page is also divided into 3.  I've also used a 3 word title. I've made an embellishment feature using my 1 inch square punch and added 3 small stickers on each one.

This is an easy challenge. Jump on it.

Regards,

Dale 

Travel scrapbook layout

Welcome to 2020. It's the 20's again. Much easier to say than the 10's, which no-one did.

Time for a new challenge. Are you ready?

It's my favourite theme, travel scrapbook pages. Our family loves a trip. We just got back from a family trip to spend Christmas with my sister-in-law's family. Had a splendid time.

Right, on to the challenge. It's for ARTastic. Always inspired by a painting.  This time it is Donald James Waters with "Day Trippers".

I took inspiration from the water theme.






This is a photo I purchased from Disneyland from the log ride Splash Mountain. It is an adorable tame ride right up until the end. There is then a scream-worthy drop where you get plenty wet right at the end and that's when they take the photo.  Everyone loved this ride and we went on it a few times.

I've added a lot of inking to represent the water splashes.

You don't have to be so literal as me. I do like to see some inspiration taken from the picture though. Head over to ARTastic to enter.

Travel layout

This is the magazine cover insp for week 168 at Papercrafter's Corner.


I took inspiration from the word travel, the boats and the photo on my layout in the bottom left hand corner is very similar to the cover picture, the way the colours are blocked and there is a word at the top and white space.

I am determined to make more time to scrapbook this year so stay tuned for more from me in 2017.

Thanks for looking and happy crafting.

CSI 174 N.Y. Icon

September 2015 - CSI 174



Another travel CSI challenge, you beauty.  Here's my layout.





I simply love the Chrysler building. It's a really stunning design. You can see it from all over the City and at night time it lights up and looks even prettier.

I have all the colours from the scheme.

My evidence is globe, map, travel, metal (the brad), something woven (I wove a mat of some 6x6 papers as a feature) and a starburst (top right).  I thought the woven mat looked a bit like the base of the scene.

For testimony I documented something about a location and used the inspo word World.

I really enjoy the CSI challenges. Have you had a go at them?

Thanks for looking.

A travel layout

I created this layout titled "Siloso Beach" today. On Sentosa Island, at Siloso Beach, they have these giant letters which just beg for photos. My sons and I climbed on top of them and Paul took some snapshots.

This layout is entered into this month's Scrap The Boys competition, which is the following sketch:



Also, it is entered into Soul Scrappers ISDTRV competition. Paula's challenge is to create a travel layout. Happy International Scrapbookers Day by the way.

CSI case file 154 - Singapore

Here is the cover page for the album I'm currently working on. It's for our Singapore holiday from 2013. I spent a lot of time yesterday organising this album so I plan to work mostly on it for the next month or two until it is completed. That's the plan anyway.

I've used the current case file at CSI to create my page. I've used all of the colours. Normally I would have included some blue due to the picture.
My evidence is polka dots, globe and metal.
My testimony is I've used different  letters/fonts throughout the page and the word go.

Thanks for looking.

Travel scrapbook page

I'm playing along with Week 76 Magazine Cover challenge at Papercrafter's Corner.
Here is the cover:


So I've taken inspiration from the vintage look and the suitcases and also the fact that she is waiting.

My layout is about us waiting in the airport for a flight. My husband and son are passing their time on our netbook utilising the Airport's free wifi.  I've used a wonderful background paper by Bo Bunny that is vintage inspired and has suitcases on it. All of the elements I've used are travel and vintage in nature.

I'm also entering this layout into The Scrapbook Store's November sketch. I think it looks quite vintage in nature and all the business is in the centre of the page. The background paper colour is the same as well. Of course it is flipped around as I have a landscape photo rather than a portrait one.

Here is their sketch.

July DT layout for Archiscraps

ARCHISCRAPS JULY 2014 CHALLENGE
This month's challenge has just gone live today. Julene has been holidaying overseas.



St Basil's Cathedral in Moscow (website)

I took my inspiration from the predominant colours of blue, white, green and orange. I liked the semicircle pattern on the large spire. By background paper picks this up nicely. The added criteria is layering. Firstly my photos have a Hotel that has a lot of interesting layers. Next I have layered papers and stickers.
I used an Imaginisce trees stamp which I have then coloured and fussy cut to create a little forest to match the theme of the page.

Travel/Holiday Cyber Crop

Mystical Scrapbook's cyber crop has begun.  Go here to find the gallery to put your entries and here to find out what the challenges are. 

Central London layout

I could not have asked for a more perfect base for this layout than this October Afternoon paper which depicts the Royal Atlas of England & Walks.  My layout is about us walking about the City of London. There is no better way to get to know a new place than to walk its streets.

This layout is to be included in my 2010 UK trip album. I created it today from the inspiration magazine cover for week #30 at Papercrafter's Corner.  Here is the mag pic:



My inspiration came from the layout of the pictures and writing. I also wanted to use the colours of cream, red and green as well. I also wanted to add a few words as there is so much writing so I've got a few stickers with writing on and a travel quote on vellum. I also like that my base paper is covered in words (street names) as well.
