Ahoy There!

This is the last of my Papermaze DT layouts using The Simple Stories - Simple Vintage Sand and Sea collection. For this one I used more of the red, white and blue elements from the collection.  The photos show my granddaughter playing in the boat at the local playground. 


I started this page with a 12" x 12" sheet of scrap paper, over which I built up my background. The top half of the page is a 6" x 12" piece of Shore is Fun (blue & white dot) paper. Then under this, I placed a 4.5" x 12" (blue & white stripe) Combo Elements paper. The third paper at the bottom is a 1" x 12" piece of Tides and Treasures (wood panel). 

 


I selected two 12" long stickers from the Element Stickers Icon sheet, and placed these where the two papers join at the base of the layout. Over the red & white dot sticker I applied some P13 alphabet stickers for the date.


I used red Bazzill cardstock to mount the photos, then applied them at angles to the left of centre of the layout. Between the photos and to the left I added a piece cut from the elements side of the 
Combo Elements paper. I trimmed off the flowers, keeping the red & white dot frame and journalling area. I wrote some details here, and added some phrase stickers from the Cardstock Stickers Icons sheet


For the bottom right of the photo, I took a bow journalling spot from the Journaling Bits pack, and the 'waves for days' sticker from the 
Cardstock Stickers Icons sheet. I wound some red and white Baker's twine around the phrase. I cut the barcode strip from the Combo Elements paper, and cut the striped area into two pieces, I placed this over the join in papers, either side of the photo.


To the left of the photo, I added three tags from the 
Journalling Bits pack, adding more twine to the holes, these we attached with 3D foam pads. 


I added a knotted piece of twine to the top left corner of the layout. For the title I cut letters from red and white cardstock, using the Tim Holtz - Sizzix - Alphanumerics Varsity die set. 


That's all for today, thanks for looking
