sweet friends

 Hey there, it's the end of another week already.  I'm just popping in here to share another page that I've created using Beachcomber by Fab Scraps for The Scrapbook Store.  I had lots of fun with this one and used some cute paper dolls that were included in the die-cut pack. 

 I had taken this picture of my little boy with his little friend the other week on a camping trip together and it fit in perfectly using the paper dolls ♥♥
As well as a few little pieces of the pattern paper, I've used Manorhouse Creations flowers, Prima flowers and a stamp set by Lawn Fawn.  Here are some close-up's:
 

 It was fun using flowers on my page - especially these big blooms by Prima and Manorhouse Creations. 

 Here are the cute paper dolls, fussy cut from the die-cut pack in the Beachcomber collection.  I've used a couple of stencils in the background with texture paste.  Also in the background are some little heart stamps from the Blue Skies stamp by Lawn Fawn.

I've paper pieced some little clouds - these are from the same stamp set again - and the title is sticker letters from my stash.
The chipboard frame is left-over from a piece of chippie - I'd used the inner piece on a previous layout.  Can't waste anything ☺
I know I said it before but I really enjoyed putting this one together. ☺

Beachcomber by Fab Scraps ~~~ The Scrapbook Store

 Hey crafty people.  Today I'm sharing some inspiration for The Scrapbook Store.  This month I'm working with Beachcomber by Fab Scraps.  A gorgeous seaside collection ☺

Project:  Busselton Jetty

 I usually like to use white paper for my backgrounds, but with this collection I couldn't really ignore the lovely pattern papers with pre-printed pictures and designs on them.  They reminded me of a water-colour painting ☺
Here I've teamed the papers with a 'light-house' diecut from the Beachcomber collection, some shells collected at the beach and a Manorhouse Creations flowers.
Here are the close-up's:

 I love the pretty ornate frames by Manour House Creations - I usually cut them in half to make them go further ☺
I've cut out a little beachhouse from the DieCut pack and added a flair to it.
I've created a beachy feel with muslin,twine and shells and added in a Manor House flower in bright blue.

 Here is the lighthouse die-cut - there are a number of these in the pack - all in different patterns.  I've also cut out more element from the die-cut pack.

 And a close-up of my journal work with my trusty manual type-writer.
There is still some of this collection available in store - please check it out here.

And here is my second page using this collection.

Once again, I've used the pattern paper as my base.  Here I've printed out the photo onto vellum and then the other onto normal photo paper.  I always love this effect ☺

Project - Under the Sea

 This is one of my twins favourite activities - being under the water and exploring - I love this picture of them ☺
The chipboard jetty is part of the Beachcomber collection.
Here is a close-up:

I've left the chipboard raw, so as not to takeaway from the detailed lines and features.  I've simply inked the edges with espresso ink!
I've cut out this word from the Die-Cut pack.
