Time out challenges

 Today I'm making a couple of cards.

The first is for Time Out where the theme is sweet treats.

I found 2 ice creams and orange ribbon to match, so I made this card.

The other two cards were to use up some paper I had. Here they are:

Freaky fast formula

 

Here's the freaky fast formula at The Scraproom.

I used some offcuts plus part of my forged stamped paper on this layout.

The extras came from my kit. So, the journalling tag, the black and red flower, 2 flamingoes, subtitle cut from a journal card. The 6 small squares made a good mat for the top photo.

I had 3 photos of the pool at the back of the boat (wake pool).. I used this sketch but had to arrange my 3 photos differently.

Paper Issues Clean Sweep

 Today I made a simple layout for Paper Issues.

I've used the second blue waves paper as they work well with my cruise photos. Then I added a cluster of smaller embellishments from my kit with a sea theme. Also, a flamingo.

The alphas used up the greys and helped use up some blues too.

My photos are from Huatulco which is part of the Mexican Riviera and not far from Acapulco.

AS you can see, there is plenty of blank space top and bottom.

Branding strip colour challenge.

 At Soul scrappers here is the colour challenge.

I used up lots of branding strips on this layout.

There is also 2 button topped chipboard flowers and a journal block in autumn colours.

I was able to use 2 different titles to make my theme.

Sketches in Thyme plus soul scrappers This or that.

 

                                                    Here is the sketches in Thyme sketch

                                                   This is Soul Scrappers challenge

Here's my layout. I turned the sketch sideways.

By using the paler floral paper on top it toned down the brighter floral paper. I matted my photos on another floral paper from my kit. The Kraft circle is also from there.

The pink title and embellishments finished off a pack of 3D stickers and the spoon was a final touch. I used my last star brad plus star washi tape.

Jumpstart sketch at the scraproom

 This is the jumpstart sketch at the scraproom.

I had one photo from my cruise that I've been wanting to scrap since I saw it.

This is Miss Panama. When we were walking through the back streets of old Panama, I happened to see her and asked if I could take a photo. Her dress was hand embroidered and absolutely gorgeous.

I used the colours of red, white and blue for my layout. From my kit as well as the 2 papers I used washi tape, ric rac braid, some tags and embellishments. I added the red hearts from my stash.
