Happy Summer by Julie Lavalette

Hi Cheery Lynn fans, its JULIE here hosting the blog today and I am sharing inspiration using some of the fab Nautical Dies on my card which could easily be adapted onto a Scrapbook layout.

My card measures approximately 6 inches square and I started by adding some torn Shabby layers to my card using Maja Design papers along with some cheesecloth, micro beads and lace.

My Doily and Angel Wing were added to the centre of my card with foam strips along with an accent of the Ships Helm.

My Lighthouse was cut out in 2 patterned papers to form the stripes and backed with cream cardstock. My Anchor I highlighted the chain with a bronze coloured Promarker. I added some shells and dried flowers to compliment my Starfish and Sand Dollar Dies.

Groovy Summer Card by Amy Voorthuis

Good morning lovelies.

Oh how much I long for summer. We had just a lovely day yesterday and now it's very windy.

Today I would like to share a card with you, using some of the older dies I have in my beautiful "Cheery Lynn Designs"collection. For this card I used the pretty "Life by the Sea"collection by Maja Design. When these dies came out a couple of years ago I fell in love instantly and they are still some of my favorites to use.

Groovy Summer:

I just layered the Ship's Compass on top of the Ships Helm to get more dimension. On top of that I added a cut out piece from the Maja Design collection. I added some different papers behind the lighthouses and placed them behind each other. On top of that I used the "GROOVY" word die {love it} and it's now on sale in the Cheery Lynn Designs store yeahh.

Cheery Lynn Design dies used:

B385 - Ships Helm

B395 - Ships Compass

B644 - Lighthouse Set {set of 2}

B696 - Groovy

B574 - Summer {set of 2}

Thank you so much for visiting the blog today!

I hope you enjoyed my post and I have inspired you to use your Cheery Lynn Designs dies.
Have a wonderful week.....

8x8 Nautical Themed Layout by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 6 Comments

Hi Everyone, It's Julie here today. Thanks for all your lovely comments and likes on my Shabby Butterfly card last week, truly appreciated. Today I am sharing with you an 8x8 Scrapbook Layout using a photograph of my Dad in the early days of his career in the Merchant Navy.

I started off by tearing out a section from an old map and adding some Distress Ink on to it to age it further and mounted it on to Cardstock which had been torn and distressed at the edges with my Distress tool.

I cut out my Ships Helm and added highlights with a Gold Pro marker.

Next I cut out my Anchor and highlighted the chain.

You will see in this photograph I layered it up twice for a shadow effect, cutting the die cut in half gave me the expansion I needed for this effect.

My frame was cut out and highlighted with some Gilding Wax. My Ships Helm Die was once again accented at the side of this frame.

I trimmed the photograph of my Dad and added a White Border to help make the White on his Cap and Shirt pop forward. I don't yet have the Word Die Dad, so I paper pieced from my words Daughter and Birthday to get the word Dad.

I now trimmed a lighter shade of Blue Cardstock to 7.5 inches square and placed my Deutschland Border around the perimeter, once cut I Distressed the edges and mounted on to White Cardstock of the same size to highlight the beauty of this die.

Finally layering all my Layout onto an 8x8 piece of Dark Blue Cardstock. I added the Fishtail Banners which were trimmed down and curled at the edges adding a little star in the centre.

I hope this Scrapbook layout has inspired you to get creative. Thanks for stopping by today and Good Luck to Everyone entering our Weekly Challenge for your chance to win a $20 spending spree at Cheery Lynn Designs.
