Scrapbook Layout

'SOAKING up the Sun'

Hello dear G45ers! 

Sharing a Scrapbook Layout featuring
 the gorgeous By the Sea Deluxe Collector's Edition.
 I love the patterns, colours and imagery in
 this collection, they are so P R E T T Y!

I have created this Layout on a watercolor
 paper background with some cutting dies,
sandal embellishments, flowers, seashells
and starfishes.

Herewith the Supplies and Instructions you 

may use to recreate such a project:

G45 Supplies used:

By The Sea DCE
Clearsnap Decades Dye Pad Venetian Lace
Clearsnap Decades Dye Pad Robin's Egg

Other Supplies used:

Various Cutting Dies
White Sand Texture Paste
Embossing Powders
Cardboard
Watercolor Paper
Seashells
Starfishes
Sandals
Chipboard Title
Stencil
Flowers
Sellotape

Cut a few square (or any shape you like)

 pieces from the pattern

sheets. These will be used for layering.

Tip: I used some off cuts from a previous project

 thus some of the shapes are not even...but not

 to worry as these won't be visible, it will be

 covered up by the photo. 

Cut a few elements from the pattern

 sheets using some cutting dies.

Fussy-cut some elements from the 

pattern sheets in the collection.

Build up all the fussy-cut elements and

 die-cut pieces to form a cluster.

Tip: Adhere each piece with some sellotape

 as you go along, thus making sure it 

stays in place.

Add cardboard pieces behind the 

cluster to give it dimension

before sticking it down on the page.

Add some sand texture paste on the one

 side of the page and stenciling on the other 

side. Use the photo cluster that you build up

 in the previous step to act as a guideline

as to where you want the sand texture paste 

and stenciling to be visible.

Tip: Make sure to add some of the fussy-cut

 elements and seashells in the sand paste

 whilst it is still wet.

Add some flowers and starfishes.

Add some more embellishments: 

sandals, starfish and flowers

Heat emboss the title with embossing 

powders and add to the page at an angle.

Some more photos...

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Papercrafting!
