080616 CKC August Challenge #1


Welcome to the first of three CKC August challenges.

Happy Sandcastle Day!
(Find out more about it HERE.)
"So! it's time to be a little nostalgic and be inspired by that most 
enjoyable childhood activity to create a project featuring sandcastles."
I'm still working my way through my beach vacation photos so, perfect!
I crafted my kit this month with a variety of textures included.

Featured here are cork embellishments, a layered photo mat that includes the kraft
tissue paper, wide linen ribbon, & embroidery embellishment on the title element.


I added some color to the white cardstock with Color Shine. By the time I was done, 
I felt it was a little overwhelming, so I used white paint applied with the ball end 
of a dry embossing tool to make the perfect tiny circles that I wanted!
Bonus: it looks like sprays of water plus it adds glossy texture.

A perfect day...


Grab your kit & let Sandcastle Day inspire YOU.
Be sure to post on the Linky for a standing ovation,
and don't forget to return on the 12th & the 16th for
the remaining two CKC challenges for August.

Happy scrapping!

Thanks for stopping by!

  3. This is gorgeous! I wish I could see that texture in your matting in person! Great job. Ya know, I almost dug out my burlap ribbon trim I purchased a couple of years ago to add to my kit but didn't. HMMM, maybe I should create an add-on?

  6. Bravo for all that great stitching over the chalkboard-look title piece! I have been trying that whole splatter thing lately and it just drives me crazy - there seems to be a very fine line between just right and too much and I cross it every time. I think yours looks just great and echo Kelly's comment that it's very appropriate for a beach layout. Cute photos too.
