Hello Everyone

It's going to be a lot of fun and there will be something for everyone.

I also have a layout from my Saturday class to share with you...
I used this fabulous sketch from Becky Fleck over at Page Maps, where they have sketches for all sizes of layout... really some wonderful ideas.
Here is my layout.
I kept it very similar because I thought it was such a nice sketch. So... I started with a plain sandy colour background and used my chicken wire stencil with some texture paste to randomly add some interest on the pages, once this was dry I accentuated a couple here and there with water colour pencils and some bling... I punched two rows of shell pattern onto contrasting papers and layered them one on top of the other, and stuck to a strip of corrugated cardboard that I smeared with gesso and paint.
Here you can see the chicken wire, the shell patterned border and the corrugated card. The photos are all 4 x 6 and I just mat them all and adhered to a strip that ran the length of the layout.
On either end of the middle strip are brackets which I cut using my silhouette (love that machine). The tickets and journaling cards all came from the back of one of the pieces of paper as did the little hexagons that I fussy cut and added to replicate the chicken wire. Then I finished it off with some chippies I found in my stash and some little Petaloo flowers that were perfect for this layout. The title was made using some balsa wood alphabets that I left as is and just inked and the sticker letters are from Websters. The gorgeous papers are Authentique and I love them. Such pretty colours and perfect for a beach layout.
Have fun and Happy Scrapping and just before I go I thought I would share this with you....
