SPCC #40/Sketchy Thursdays

Can't believe how long it has been since I have posted. But I went to a crop over the weekend to get myself back into the swing. Samantha at SPCC had a cool color combo for Challenge #40 and I thought of Hawaii right away. I've never been but my daughter went last year with her high school swim team. I also went to Sketchy Thursdays to get some layout motivation. The paper was part of stash that I had along with the frame. I painted the wavy chip board brown then sprayed orange Tattered Angels on it. Flowers and buttons from Making Memories. Hawaii is from Life's a Beach cart. Thanks ladies for the inspiration.

Bon Voyage

Just Buggin' posted a challenge #27 to use a card feature on any cartridge. My parents are getting ready to go on a cruise and my mom is a little nervous given that their port of departure is Santiago, Chile. So, I thought this card was just perfect. I used the Life's a Beach cartridge and made the card at 5" and played around with the cruise ship cut(including layers) until it fit over the card feature. The title was cut at the 41/2" Fit to Page and then cut apart. I offset layered the white and blue for the title and the waves. I also added some Patina stickles in the windows. A little personal sentiment inside along with a prayer and off they go to South America. Bon Voyage!
