Time to Remember Layout

Hello there everyone,  Adriana  here again with another project using the new SEASIDE & ME collection
I have created a layout using some of the papers, dies and ephemera pieces with a touch of foiling all from the "Seaside & Me" collection. This collection is available from your local paper craft store NOW !!! Go and ask for it!!

Time to Remember - layout by Adriana Bolzon



Continuing with my scrapbooking of my photos from our family Cruise to New Zealand earlier this year. This photo shows the coast line of southern island of New Zealand - going to Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound and Dusky Sound.
The sheer cliffs and mountains hundred of metres high, just drop into the sea, it was so awesome cruising beside the gentle majestic mountains.  It was so amazing and just a wonderful moment !!!

Using the Seaside and Me collection of ephemera and dies to complete the layout , I couldn't resist adding a die cut of an anchor from an older collection
"Sea Breeze" CO724698 Anchored Flourish.
I also created some Foamiran flowers using the Couture Creations Foamiran white A4 sheets and flower die.
Adding some Deep Silver Pearls CO725365 over the page.



I also used the Seaside & Me Die Coral Reef CO726171 as a stencil and applying some
Anna Griffin Embossing Paste CO724870 Over the top, then sprinkling some Turquoise Embossing powder CO724993 over the embossing paste and heat set with heat gun.


Foiling two starfish with the Go Press and Foil machine CO725032 and "Starfish" CO726178
 hot foil stamp from the "Seaside & Me" and cutting them out - love the Vintage Rose gold foil !!










I also foiled the chipboard word "Time to Remember"



I also stamped the Seaside and Me - stamp - Starfish Mini stamp. CO726163 along the right hand side of the layout with brown inks, just to add a detail to the page.

Happiness Layout with "Seaside & Me"

Hello there everyone,  Adriana  here again with another project using the new SEASIDE & ME collection I have created a layout using some of the papers from the "Seaside & Me" 12x12 papers together with some of the dies and stamps from this wonderful collection. Full list of materials at the end of the blog post.



I created my page with papers from the  "Seaside & Me" 12x12 paper pad. 
Stamping the bottom half of my page with the 
"Seaside & Me" mini stamp Coral Mini stamp CO726155. Adding some watercolour pencils to the coral.
I also cut some dies of "Seaside & Me" Branching coral die CO726172 & a couple of the Coral Reef Background die CO726171 
which I placed underneath and around my photo and the clusters of flowers.

Oh!!!  by the way - those flowers are made with Couture Creations - White Foamiran Foam sheets CO726143 and flower die. They are so pretty and so easy to make. Adding a bit of colour in the centre of each petal foam before adhering them all together.

"Happiness" layout by Adriana Bolzon



Using the Couture Creations Go Press and foil machine together with some of the hot foil stamps. "Happiness" hot foil stamp CO725826. I foiled this sentiment on Clear Acetate sheet. I also used the "Seaside & Me" By the Seashore hot foil stamp CO726184 and foiled that on clear acetate as well - you can see it tucked under my photograph.






Using some Couture Creations Embossing Paste CO724870 
with the C'est La Vie Background stencil CO725772, 
I applied some white glitter flakes while the paste was still wet to give it a little sparkle.
