Scrapbook Challenge
There’s Only One Like You
Teal And White
Welcome back everyone! As summer approaches in Southern California, my husband and I make the trip to Laguna Beach more and more frequently. These photos were taken a couple of years ago on one such beach day. Most of the time, even if the weather is nice, the ocean can be freezing but on this particular day, the water was warm enough to swim in without a wet suit.
I started with some plain white card stock and then used some teal text paper from Heartfelt Creations’ Everyday Heroes collection. I cut a strip to use as my title and then another larger piece to place behind my photos. Some dark teal card stock scraps with a chalk-like finish continue the simple color theme but add a matte texture to the page. I also used a small scrap of vellum and some washi tape with similar colors.
This page was created for the Sketch N Scrap May challenge. I flipped the sketch 180 degrees and used fewer scraps in larger pieces rather than the multiple smaller strips shown. I used some teal flowers from Bo Bunny’s Floral Spice ephemera since the original sketch contained some flowers too.
This page was also made for White…With 1’s current challenge. Check out their color swatch and beautiful mood board! This is such a pretty shade of green and I had a lot of fun finding matching items from my stash. I incorporated some of the leafy elements by using a sticker from The Paper Studio’s Bottle Cap sticker book and a page from a Bujo (short for bullet journaling) pad.
I had never heard of bullet journaling but once I discovered an Instagram account featuring the practice, a saw a lot of parallels to scrapbooking. I immediately tracked down some of the little notepads with tear-out pages featuring nature scenes, famous artworks, and lots of other images perfect for adding to my pages. This one comes from a collection I found on Amazon.
