Red & Teal

It took me a while to think of Teal. I found MM paint: lagoon and K&co Kimberly Hodges pattern paper (qvc) and the rub-ons I've had for two years. I'm in a messy scrapping - get your fingers dirty kind of groove right now - Less technique, more fun...

When I think of red, I think...

total glamour.

and a little bit of hollywood.

lights, camera, action.

My version of Teal and Red.

Nautical

OK. We don't live near any body of water that I would put my toe in. So here is a LO with pics from last year's vacation adventure to Traverse City, Michigan. I say adventure because we were traveling with a very disagreeable 2 year old. (what's up with the 2nd born) Any way, I had been waiting to try something with transparencies. And here was my chance. I painted a layer of waves on the trans with various shades of blue. I really liked the ripped edges of the vellum because it reminds me of the rippling of the water. I think a common theme in my LO's is texture - ie. the rope (anything that makes you want to touch and feel the LO) supplies: cardstock, rope, tags, 7 gyp word sticker, KI alphabets, hambly journaling bits, ink

"Think Nautical"

First off, I want to thank everyone that took the time to post and contribute towards the blog so far, gosh, it means a lot when you have a vision and you see so many people support the cause with a passion that matches your own.


On to business, Our theme is "think Nautical" on the design side of this blog we will be exploring ways to add this trend in our layouts. This theme will last from now until the first weekend of July.

Periodically I will post more ideas, to help you "think" and see how you can take this and make it your own. Nautical is not just blue, red and white.

It's nature of sea, sand and sky can invoke memories that you have not YET captured in your albums.
