Surf’s Up!

Hey everybody! Hope you’re having a great week! I mentioned in my post yesterday that I joined the design team for the ScrapbookingStore which boasts a FABulous monthly scrapbook kit subscription club that’s very affordable. The August kit is beach-themed and I’ve had the best time creating with it! I’m sharing a fun surf card today… you know how I love creating little scenes and I felt like a ride along the beach headed to the waves to go surfing was in order!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock. I cut a layering panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and covered it with Eyelet Outlet wide sky and wide water washi tape and CutCardStock Brown Bag Kraft Paper to get the scene started.

I added a land line in the distance that I hand-cut from CutCardStock Basis Brown cardstock, an Eyelet Outlet palm tree brad, and a yellow sun clip from the kit upgrades which I attached with a harlequin patterned brad from my stash. I added the beach bug and sentiment stickers from the sticker sheet included in the kit (sentiment popped up on foam squares) to complete the front.

I cut the inside panel from patterned paper in the kit and embellished it with sentiment and surf board stickers from the sticker sheet included in the kit.

And one more peek… super happy with how this turned out! Sure brings back some fun memories – I didn’t surf but we used to drive up and down one of our semi-local beaches back in the day (late 70s) when it was allowed! ;)

Crazy cat lady and crafting junkie! We have 10 feline rescues. I’m addicted to stamping and love making cards, ATCs, and 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, paper purses and mini albums). I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling, altered art and custom jewelry. If you’re looking for me, I’ll either be in my studio or getting some kitty lovins! ;)

  1. I like how the sky and ocean look realistic, whereas the sun does not. This turned out a fun summer scene, with great details. So glad to see you play with us at INK.
