Beach Fun for Funday Friday

Hi you all! Oh it really has been one of those types of weeks! Must be from that long weekend I had last week to cause a really long week this week, but thank goodness it's Friday in fact it is Funday Friday! Over at Jo's Scrap Shack this week's challenge for Funday Friday is
"Nautical Seascapes"
Our sponsors are Di's Digi Stamps and Bugaboo Stamps. I used Bugaboo's stamp: Beach Border: and from the png file I created a cut file in my Silhouette software. It took a bit to figure it out, but it did cut out better than I though it was going to:
This layout was planned for this theme the pictures and the thoughts behind doing the diecut title, but yesterday in my email I seen in the daily bloglovin email the sketch from Sketch N Scrap and knew that was the one I wanted to use for my layout:
It's their Twistback Thursday Sketch and besides using the sketch you have to use the twist too which was Old/Vintage photos. These are definetly photos from an earlier time in my life and the prints came from old slides (really need to figure out how to clean them up before scanning). 
I'm also doing May Flaum's Camp Scrap this month and this is this week's challenge to do monochromatic. So I chose to stay in the blues other than that neutral tan for the diecut . I used one piece of paper from last month's counterfeit kit and went to my blues paper drawer to find the rest of the blues needed for the layout.
Close up of the diecut I created. Will have to play around more with this new found knowledge of making diecuts :)
This little bottom block was fun to create, I used the stamp from the CTMH Seaside workshop on the go stamped in Brilliant ink from SU, I used the waves stickers and enamel dots from a Jolee's dimensional sticker pack for the circles in the sketch. The starfish came from a K&Copany chipboard sticker collection and the playing in the waves and the word spots came from a Recollections dimensional stickers.
The misting came from Heidi Swapp's Teal color shine, flicking it around the layout for texture.
I figured that one open spot with nothing in it was perfect to use for m journaling. Not much to add other than the who, what, when, where type of  thing in paragraph form. So glad that May Flaum challenged us this week with the color challenge and so glad that sketch showed up in my email cause both really made this layout work :)
I'm also linking this up to Scrap Our Stash stash challenge with the word : PHOTOS:
P: Pattern Paper, Pennants
H: Heidi Swapp Teal color shine mist
O: Ocean theme
T: Thickers
O: odd number of photos
S: Starfish, stamp, sketch

To complete the stash challenge, I used the following items:
P ~ Punch, Pink Sticker
H ~ Hashtag
O ~ Orange Sticker
T ~ Twine, Tag, Tab
O ~ Oval (camera lens in patterned paper)
S ~ Stitching (faux zigzig), Selfie sticker, Sequins"

  1. Hi Tina! I'm doing Camp Scrap too. Very pretty take on the monochromatic color scheme. Having a color drawer must be a great help - I have some color boxes for embellishments but haven't sorted my papers that way.
