Wild At Heart

Blue Tones And Gilded Washi

Welcome back scrappers! I just got back from a vacation in beautiful Hawaii and was inspired to create something beachy! The photos I used were not taken in Hawaii but in Laguna Beach about a year ago. Once I get all my photos printed, I’ll have tons of new Hawaii-based photos to scrap.

I knew from the beginning that I wanted to use the new washi tape a got from The Washi Tape Shop. Their Summer Solstice collection is so pretty! I think the jelly fish design is my favorite and perfect for a page featuring images of the ocean. I chose three of the prints and used strips along the side of a piece of cardstock from The Paper Studio’s Splash stack. I also cut out some patterns from all three washi designs and used them as embellishments. I used some stickers from The Happy Planner’s Dream Seeker sticker book for the title and other embellishments on the page. Silk flowers, brads by Bo Bunny (from the Floral Spice and Double Dot collections) and circular puffy stickers by The Paper Studio complete the look! I used some teal text printed paper to mat my photos. Since I didn’t have enough, I had to cut strips to mount around the second one but the print really helps disguise the break between the different paper pieces.

This page was created for the More Than Words September challenge. I love their beautiful insp pic and knew that shades of blue would work well with the washi tape I wanted to use. “Ahoy” reminds me of boats and boats remind me of the ocean! I love how their prompt inspired my page.

That’s all for this week. Please visit me on YouTube and Instagram if you get the chance. You can find me at @thescrapattack.
