Snorkel 2022

Building A Page Around Washi

Hi scrappers! Winter may be here but my page this week features photos taken during a summer trip to the Bahamas. I have never been a very strong swimmer but I snorkeled in the open ocean for the first time and had a lot of fun. I saw coral reefs, dolphins, sharks and even sea turtles and stingrays!

I actually started this page by picking out some striped washi tape. From there, I built my page around it. For my background, I used some green cardstock from Momenta. This cardstock is nice and thick and makes a great base, especially for pages with mixed media or heavier embellishments. I used two strips of washi tape along two f the edges of my paper. I found some paper scraps in shades of teal and green as well as a page from Echo Park’s 6 X 6 Getaway paper pad. I used stickers from The Happy Planner’s Colorful Boxes and Layered Boxes sticker books as well as Vicki Boutin’s Color Study sticker book. I was able to use up the last of some layered fish stickers by Jolee’s Boutique and incorporated some die cut rings and Tiny Type Alphas by Sizzix.

This page was created for challenge 574 over at Color my Heart challenges. I used the colors Journey, Mist and Jade with a healthy dose of Limeade.

This page was made using Becky Fleck Sketch 353 over at A Cherry on Top Crafts. Instead of stitching on the left and top borders, I used washi tape. I happened to have a die cut that looked a lot like the pen scribble around the title, so it was perfect!

That’s all for this week. Thank you for visiting my corner of the internet and I will see you all soon!
