August Inspiration PLUS a VIDEO
by Kareen Dion

Hello!
It's my turn to show you my two layouts this month. 

So, as it's summer in Canada, I wanted to do a layout that represents Summer.
I took a picture of our Summer vacation in 2014 : the Beach. Love the beach, and we
are going to the beach again for our vacation : yeah! 

As you can see, I used a lot of chipboard, I used the Harlequin Clumps for my background.
I embossed them in a brown shade to contrast with the rest of the layout. I also used the Skeleton leaves to add a little extra to the flowers and the Scroll 3 below my picture to highlight the title.

"Day at the Beach"

Here you can see the title Day at the Beach, embossing with blue powder.


I also used the Frame Georgian to highlight my layout,
I love frames, they are so easy to use.


Another close-up to the Frame Georgian, I used both of them.


I really like the color combo brown/blue for an ocean layout!
I'm not used to those colors, but I really enjoyed it.

2Crafty products used : 
- Harlequin Clumps

For my second layout, I made a video tutorial. 
I took a picture of my daughter which inspired me like she was dreaming.
That's why I chose the title "Dream a Little Dream"
To add a little punch to my page, I used the Interlocking Stick Panel which was
black embossed. As it's a feminine layout, I add the Whispy Dandelion. And of course, 
I added some Skeleton Leaves.

"Dream a Little Dream"

Here for my title, Dream a Little Dream, I put a layer of white gesso and then I used
 embossing powder. I like to put white gesso first as I found that we have a clean color
 then with the embossing powder.

The Whispy Dandelions were stamped with black gesso to create a shadow.
Then I embossed them with light pink.


The Interlocking Stick Panel is black embossed with glitters.
