Beach Boardwalk - Carta Bella - The Scrapbook Store

 Hello - hope you are all well.    I have a few more pieces of inspiration to share using my May DT Kit for The Scrapbook Store.  I've been working with Carta Bella - the Beach Boardwalk collection - and have really been enjoying using the papers in this collection.  They have brought a bit of Summer memories back ☺
Here is the first page:

 I received some chipboard in my kit by The Scrapbook Store - one piece being a light-house.  It worked out perfectly to use with these light-house photo's that I had taken on a holiday last year.  It was also nice to scrapbook some scenic photo for a change.
Here are some close-up's:

 Here is the lighthouse chipboard from The Scrapbook Store - Nautical Design - it's such a great piece - I've dabbed some gesso over the top - just giving it a light, rough covering and then once dry, added some ink to the edges and a bit of stamping too - love how it's come up ☺
You will also notice some texture paste in the background - I use Texture Magic - I use this quite a lot on my pages and I love how it's gives some interest to the page without taking away from the photo's.  Don't be afraid to use it over your photo's too!!
The lovely big blooms are from Prima!!

 Here I've added in some muslin, texture paste, beach shells and twine to give it that 'coastal feel'.  The pattern papers which I've layered under the photo's are all in the Beach Boardwalk collection!

 Another little piece of chipboard from the Nautical Designs Chipboard pack, a journal strip and the title uses letters from this collection to - 12x12 Alpha Stickers.  You will notice I use my black pen a lot as well as my script stamp with ink.  For me, this gives the finishing touches to a page and I love how it adds texture without the bulk.

Here I have another page that I completed on the weekend.  I was lucky enough to be able to go to The Scrapbook Store Camp with a friend.  It was lovely to meet up with Suzanne and Marelize once again and also meet the lovely Kim Price who is also on the Design Team for The Scrapbook Store.  It was a fun, creative weekend and very relaxing too.  It's always nice to have that break from normal routines and get away to do something creative. 

 This page uses more of the fabulous pattern papers in this collection as well a quite a few stickers - I love how so many paper collections these days, include lots of word and title stickers.  And these photo's go back to January of this year, when we could enjoy lovely beach weather ☺

 This sticker is my title for the page - I've matted it with white cardstock, so I could cut it out, ink the edges and then add foam tape to the back to pop it up a bit.  This sticker is included in the Beach Boardwalk collection, but has been 'sold out' in the shop for now.

 I like to use pegs and twine on my pages - just to make it a little bit fun!!  These are little wooden pegs and I've stamped over them in ink.  The twine is natural hemp twine.
The piece of chipboard is from the Word Bubbles pack - 2 Crafty Chipboard.

Once again, some more texture paste with chevron punch-out's using the pattern papers and a photo corner punch which I have had in my collection.

So I hope you have been inspired by this collection!!  As you have seen, it works great for your beach or holiday snaps, but the pattern papers would be suitable for any theme of scrapbooking.  Please check out the collection at The Scrapbook Store online ☺
Thank you for joining me this month - I'll be back soon with some other scrapbooking that I've done recently including a little peek at my Project Life album ☺

Beach Boardwalk - Carta Bella - DT Kit for The Scrapbook Store

 Hello - hope your week is going well.  I'm just popping in to share another page using Beach Boardwalk - Carta Bella for The Scrapbook Store.  This is sure to brighten your day with a splash of colour!!

 For this page I've used a fun Summer picture of my boys!!  I told them to run towards me and this is the picture I captured ☺  The background paper is the reverse side of Beach Ball - a sunburst effect.  I've used some 2 Crafty Chipboard arrows to compliment the pattern and also some stickers from this collection.  Here are some close up's:

 The stickers here are from the 12x12 sticker element sheet - I've matted them with white cardstock and then popped up with foam dots to give some height.  And I've added in a little white peg - I ♥ them!

 Some journalling and stickers and chipboard arrows by 2 Crafty Chipboard - I've used the Acrylics Glaze to add some colour in red and yellow.

And some more sticker elements.  As always I've added some ink with a script stamp and some randomly placed sequins.

All of these products are available at The Scrapbook Store as well as heaps more amazing products. 
Thanks so much for visiting ☺

The Scrapbook Store - DT Kit - Beach Boardwalk - Carta Bella

 This month I'm working with Beach Boardwalk by Carta Bella for The Scrapbook Store - it's been fun to scrap some Summer pictures, especially as we are now heading into Winter!!
I'm sharing two pages today - both about surfing in the waves - from a holiday we had a few years back ☺ And both of these pages are quite similar in design, featuring a banner!

Page One

 Here I've used alot of the sticker elements as well as some Prima flowers and 2Crafty Chipboard - here are some close-up's:

 A little cluster of Prima flowers and beach shells.

 2Crafty Chipboard word: favourite- I've added some ink using a script stamp - the palm tree is a sticker from the 12x12 element sticker sheet.

 Another Prima flower with some twine - I got these gorgeous Tatiana Oceana flowers in my kit!!

Page Two

 For this page I've used strips of pattern paper from the collection and also more chipboard from 2 Crafty - this time some cool arrows.  I've also done some stitching with the Sew Easy Tool. Here are some close-up's:

 Some of the pattern papers I've used are: Tropical Borders and the reverse side of Little Sharks.  The 'riding the waves' strip of paper was perfect for this page!  I've also used more stickers from the elements sheet.

 For the banner I've used buttons and white mini pegs along with orange twine.

Here you can see the line of stitching - I've used the Sew Easy Tool by WRMK.  Also some of the cool arrows from the Assorted Arrow pack by 2 Crafty Chipboard - once again, I've used ink with a script stamp!

All of these products and accessories are available at The Scrapbook Store as well as heaps more gorgeous goodies!!
I'll be back soon with some more shares on this fabulous collection ☺
