Kathie has based her beach layout on the reverse side of one of the patterned papers from the Seaside range. The textured wood pattern is sufficiently distressed and yet subtle enough to form a great background if you want a change from plain cardstock, but don’t want a heavy pattern on your backdrop. Kathie used the seaside images from the Seaside sticker sheet to embellish her layout. There’s a variety of seaside images that will work fabulously with any water-play themed layout.
Belinda Venables will need no introduction to many of you, as she is a regular contributor to Australian scrapbooking magazines. We are delighted to share one of her pages here today, using October Afternoon's Seaside collection.
These products work so well against the neutral kraft background. We love the way Belinda's echoed the scalloped pennant flag through the rest of the design of the page, by incorporating inverse scallops created from punched pattern paper. Note also the visual triangle created by the black dymo tape and sticker that draws your eye to the black and white photo of Belinda's daughter.
The weathered wood pattern that appears on the reverse side of several of the papers in the Seaside range are perfect for basing pages upon. This is what Mardi Winen has done, in the next layout. Mardi's pages always show such warmth and this one is no exception. We love how she's showcased the Die-Cut Wild Cards. Their retro/vintage imagery really lend a fun, happy look to a page.
