Lazy Sunday Afternoon

If you pop over to the Papermaze Blog, you will see two layouts I published yesterday. Here is the second one of the pages I created.

This month I'm using 49 and Market's pretty pastel Glimmer & Glee collection. This collection has water colour style images, which are great for documenting parties, birthdays, babies, and garden gatherings. The palette is a clever mix of pretty corals, pinks, yellows, blues and greens. 

Here is my granddaughter, all dressed up and visiting her other grandparents for Sunday lunch.

Full details are on the Scrap, Paper Scissors Blog

The items I used:
49 and Market - Glimmer and Glee collection - Cheers, Toast & Laser Cut Elements 
Distress Ink - Faded Jeans
3D Foam Pads
Sizzix Tim Holtz Alphanumeric dies 'Tiny Type - upper and lower case
Cricut

That's all for today, I'll be back with more from this collection soon.
Thanks for looking.

Kypseli - Let's Get Away!

Here is today's new Papermaze DT layout using The Simple Stories - Simple Vintage Sand and Sea collection. Previously I created two layouts using the gentler colours from this collection, so here is a layout with the stronger blue and red colours.

This layout has a more nautical theme, a photo of my husband and me onboard the yacht 'Kypseli', our home for two weeks flotilla sailing in the Greek Ionian Islands last year. 

I used a sheet of Avalanche Bazzill cardstock, and with a scrap of polythene, I applied watered down Distress Oxide Ink (Uncharted Mariner) to the card. 

I cut pieces from the several papers from the collection:
1.75" x 10" Stay Salty (red & White stripe), 7" x 5" Shore is Fun (Blue & White spot) & 5.5" x 6" Great Escape (wooden board area). The edges were inked and arranged as seen in the image.

My photo was mounted onto white card, and place at the centre of the page. I added the date under the photo with Doodlebug Designs Teensy Type - Blue Jean alphabet stickers. The Yacht name title was made with Doodlebug Designs My Type Alphabet Stickers - Lily White. 

For embellishments I added:
A tag top selected from the Tag Elements paper, with a large white brad. stickers including 'Let's 'Sail Away' and the seagull from the Cardstock Sticker Icons sheet.
The seagull label and a red & white dot label from the Journal Bits pack.
I chose a section from the 3x4 / 4x6 Elements paper, and cut out the yacht and the phrase. 
With the 49 and Market - Summer Porch collection - Laser Cut Elements, I selected the net and the blue knotted rope. 
A few acrylic anchors from my stash. 

The net was placed to the left side of the layout, with the blue rope over the top. I cut a slot in the seagull label and threaded it through the rope. The rope was arranged over the net with the label to the top left of the layout. 

The yacht was placed to the bottom left and stuck down with 3D pads. The phrase 'set sale on new adventures' was placed to the right of the wood paper. the red and white dot label has journalling written on it and it was tucked into the top of the photo. It can be removed to read the details. 

That's all for today, I'll be back with another layout from this collection soon. 
Thanks for looking.
