Beach Please

Blue Waters And Seashells

Hello again. Summer is in full swing and I bring you yet another beach-themed page. It turns out I have lots of old beach photos that need scrapping. Is there a location/theme of photos you have in your stash that you need to get to? Theme parks, holidays, family reunions? For me it seems to be trips to the beach and to the forest.

I started with some bright blue cardstock from The Paper Studio Splash stack. This cardstock has a subtle texture and is on the thicker side. It makes for a good background because it supports the weight of all the things I layer onto it. I added in some dark aqua damask paper from the My Mind’s Eye Lost and Found - Breeze stack as contrast for the paper I based the entire page around: some glittery diagonal striped paper from Recollections Pretty as a Peacock stack.

I broke in my new Big Shot machine and used some Sizzix Square Framelits die cuts. I used the biggest one to frame my large title sticker and decorated the others with some ephemera from Simple Stories Simple Vintage Coastal collection, some seashell brads by Eyelet Outlet and some (of course) enamel dots.

This page was made for A Cherry on Top Craft’s Becky Fleck challenge #284. I liked the number element along the right side because I had never included something like that on a page before and always end up with a bunch of numbers (and left over “Z’s” and “Q’s”) left over when all the vowels are used up. Can we all agree that sticker pages should include a bunch of extra 2’s and 1’s for the people wanted to include a date? There’s never enough 2’s to make 2022!

This page was also created for the Bingo challenge at Scrap Our Stash. I used the top row which included:

Stars (I used starfish)
Cutfile (Square Die Cuts)
2 Word Title (Beach Please)
Sticker (Title and tabs around photo)
Wood (Ephemera hearts have woodgrain design)

Thanks for stopping by. I’ll be back next week with another (possibly beach themed?) layout. You can find me on Instagram and YouTube at thescrapattack.
