Ahoy mateys! I am catching up with a layout I should have posted last week. Arrrggghhh - where has the time gone? I feel like I have been stranded on a desert island with Gilligan's castaways, only my "island" is a tall office building that I got shipwrecked on after setting sail on the SS J-O-B! But enough whining about the 9 to 5 routine, I obviously enjoy it or I wouldn't still be there. And it does pay for my nifty scrapbooking supplies, like the wonderful Down by the Shore Collection by FANCY PANTS DESIGNS, which was perfect for this layout inspired by an instagram photo my oldest bebe sent to me.
I used my Silhouette to create the chevron cut paper behind my photo. I then sewed a couple of the cut chevrons to the bottom of my layout and added bits of confetti that were still laying on my workspace from an earlier project. They remind me of a spray of water, and I like the way these and my mist splatters help to fill up the space on my layout without making it feel cluttered.
I also L-O-V-E the ephemera that Fancy Pants created for this line! Little pieces like these paper clips and brads are exactly what I tend to use most on my layouts. I added clouds (again cut with my Silhouette), a few buttons, and a piece of twine - and my clusters around my photo were j-u-u-s-s-t right.
That's it for me. Want more nautical layouts? Simply click here to see what inspiration other PRACTICAL SCRAPPERS have for you!
