Hey everyone! So today I am sharing a layout I made for the
March challenge! Each month we have a challenge over on the Cocoa Vanilla
Studio Community Facebook group and this month the challenge is the Great
Escape challenge…scrap about your adventures, big or small, near or far…even if
it’s your dream escape! So of course I reached straight for the Great Escape
collection!
The photograph on my layout is certainly an adventure…my two
big children went surfing while we were away on holiday. They had a three hour
surfing lesson and they did really well! We don’t often do things like this as
my boy is often reluctant to try new things, but he LOVED it! So this was a
really big deal for him.
I decided to make some surf boards from patterned papers so
chose three papers from the A5 paper stack and cut them into surfboard shapes.
I then added machine stitching around the edges of each one. I also cut a wavy line
from yellow paper to represent the ‘sand’ and added a dark blue border strip
from the cut apart paper to ground the image.
I embellished the layout using a mixture of embellishments:
star ephemera, fussy cut flags, Chipboard Stickers, Die Cut Ephemera, Accessory
Stickers and Puffy Stickers too. I also used ‘adventure is out there’ label,
cut from the cut apart sheet.
For my title I used one of the chipboard titles from the
Chipboard Stickers which I positioned at the top of the layout in-between the
surf boards, this worked really well to fill that empty area! I also wanted to
add my own title so reached the mini Puffy Alphabet Stickers from the Heart
& Home collection and wrote ‘surf’s up’ along the line of the sand – so cute!
I finished off the layout by adding a few sequins and
splatters of black paint all over my embellishment clusters!
This layout turned out so fun! I love how the surfboards
look…I was worried they wouldn’t look enough like surf boards, but I think I
did ok!
What adventures will you scrap?
Happy scrapping
