Day at the Beach using Kaisercraft Deep Sea by Kerryn Fry
The page started with the gorgeous Mermaid Scales Specialty paper as the base.
A few layers of patterned paper and some fussy cutting.
I've hand cut some shells, pebbles and foliage from the Tide paper,
then combined them with a few elements from the Collectables pack.
Plenty of focus on my favourite thing this week, 2 Crafty chipboard.
The octopus, seahorse and crab are all from the 2 Crafty Sea Creatures pack
I've base coated each piece with gesso and set them aside to dry.
The 2 Crafty Sea Grass has been sponged with a combination
of Distress Paints Scattered Straw, Brushed Corduroy and Frayed Burlap.
The seahorse was also sponged using Distress Paints Tumbled Glass,
Stormy Sky and Chipped Sapphire.
The seahorse was also sponged using Distress Paints Tumbled Glass,

The chipboard title Day at the Beach has been given a
layer of Charcoal Ink and let dry.
Once dry, I have given the title a finishing coat
of Dimension Magic.
The chipboard Octopus has been covered with a two-tone finish
of Distress Paints Evergreen Bough and Broken China.
The starfish was sponged with multiple Distress Paints
Once dry, I covered them with Dimensional Magic
and have used foam tape to lift each piece.
I have used similar colours on all of the chipboard pieces
to tone in with the colours of the collection.
to tone in with the colours of the collection.
Using the hand-cut elements, I have embellished across the base of the page.
The 2 Crafty Kites were the perfect final pieces.
They were hand painted with a brush using Distress Paint
and scribbled some borders on them with a black pen.
I have also framed the photo with black pen.
That's my page for this week.
I hope you have enjoyed the project
and have a very happy, scrappy weekend.
Please join us again on Monday for Fiona's next page.

Adventure, by Amanda Hartmann
Hi all,
Welcome to March!
Today I am sharing a page created with the new My Minds Eye collection - Gingham Farm.
I love the mix of patterns and the black and neutral colour palette.
After looking at my photo, I decided the gold tones were perfect to add to the page.
I combined these with some black machine stitching.
A feature of my page is the 2Crafty Harlequin Clumps chipboard. I embossed this in gold.
I placed it in three locations on the page as the base of my clusters.
To the right of the photo, I placed the chipboard with some stickers from Gingham Farm Accessory Cardstock Stickers.
In the top right corner, I layered the chipboard with some messy threads, muslin and more stickers.
You can also see the gold Splatters made on the page in these close ups. I used Colour Blast Shimmer Spray in Bling to do this.
For the title below the photo, I used more of the gold harlequin chipboard and layered more messy thread and muslin, before placing the 2Crafty chipboard quote on top. The chipboard "Let the adventure begin" has been embossed in black. I also tucked some more stickers in there.
And then a few more word strip stickers on the edge of the photo.
I love how the gold worked out with the colour tones of this paper collection.
Thanks for looking.
Amanda

Water Fun using Kaisercraft Deep Sea by Kerryn Fry
Now surprisingly for some, there is no cardstock in sight this week.
With so many fabulous patterned papers in this collection,
I didn't need to work up a sweat to create a background.
But my scissors were definitely very busy.
The page was started with the Deep Blue paper,
I've then hand-cut the circles from Anemone
and the sandbanks from Tide.
I used the big sandbank as a base for the photo.
Each element has been given dimension with foam tape.
The individual waves under the photo have been hand-cut from the Deep Sea Dive paper.
I have roughed up the edges of each strip and
then re-aligned them with a small gap when sticking them down.
With a white pen, the edges have been defined by adding some faux stitching lines.
The clusters on either side of the photo are a combination of
hand-cut follage and shells from the Tide paper
and a few pieces from the Collectables.
Plenty of layering and more foam tape.
The large starfish was hand-cut from Tide
and was a great base for the smaller cluster along the bottom of the page.
The 2 Crafty title Water Fun was basecoated with gesso,
then once dry, I've covered it with Distress Oxide Chipped Sapphire.
The next layer was created using the 6x6 Crafters Workshop stencil
and two more Distress Oxides, Broken China and Tumbled Glass.
I've dried the ink off with a heat gun to set it
and added some circles with a white pen.
I have lifted with foam tape.

"Pack your bags", by Amanda Hartmann
I started with black cardstock as the base to the page.
Then I layered vertical panels of papers down the page. I used: Fly Away, and Street Signs. I distressed the edges of the papers too.
To embellish the page, I combined different stickers taken from the Let's Go sticker sheet.
In a horizontal strip under the bottom of the photo, I used the longer border stickers from the sheet. I also included a paper border taken from one the 12x12" papers.
I used a Kaisercraft doily die to cut a doily from the Street Signs paper and place under the photo.
I added some of the word and quote stickers in a stack, with some on foam tape for some pop.
And I finished the page with some black ink splatters.
This was such an old photo, I was so glad to get it scrapped! Have you got some old travel photos lying around? Get them out and use Let's Go to get them scrapped!
Thanks for looking today.

#Love everyday using Simple Stories Kissing Booth by Kerryn Fry
Happy Friday everyone!
Today I have another page to share using the lovely collection,
A rare photo of my man and me,
This one is a few years ago when we were ballroom dancing
and my hair was really dark.
It's the same starting point for me, why stop something I love.
A Bazzill Kraft Cardstock base, Stencils and Distress Oxides.
I love the chalky finish from the oxide inks on to the kraft.
Then using two different heart stencils and
Distress Oxides Aged Mahogany, Worn Lipstick and Spun Sugar,
I have created the layered background.
I have highlighted random hearts with a white pen
and also doodled some free-hand small hearts across the page.
Before adding any paper layers, I have flicked white paint across the page.
The small paper hearts were hand-cut from the patterned papers
and then lifted with some foam tape.
I have cut the quote and flowers from a few different papers.
The Elements papers are perfect for a adding embellishments to a page.
It's a big reason why I love Simple Stories collections.
The flower has been cut from the 4x4 Elements page
and the banner cut from the 4x6 Vertical Elements.
I have layered them both pieces with foam tape.
The 2 Crafty words #Love and everyday have been used to create the title.
They have both been covered with Distress Oxide Worn Lipstick.
The final layer is Dimensional Magic.
I have used the heart cut from the 4x6 Vertical Elements as a base for the title.
