Classic non-Nautical layout

 catching up on updating blog posts that were not shared from my facebook page. 

This layout was made in OCTOBER 2024 as part of the DESIGN TEAM projects for the NAUTICAL DREAMS collection from  Scrapbook Fantasies .


Classic Non-Nautical layout


I wanted something classical and non-themed.
This Nautical collection can be used for so much more than beach or sea layouts.
I loved working with the fussy cut flowers and again, used a Mushroom coloured cardstock to soften the base and then added Blue & White misting spraying.
This layout is all about keeping it basic with plenty of layering. Essentially, it can be done within a hour (with pre-cut fussy cutting). So it’s a quick layout that can hopefully inspire even the most time poor crafters.
I don’t have a name for it or photo yet.
I do believe it will fit a wide range of photos and add the title to match afterwards.

I'm so thankful that Alicia, Quentin and the Redshaw family saw the spark in me back in 2024 to get back into crafting. Unfortunately it fell flat pretty quickly afterwards, but I'm not back at it. April 2026.. I am trying to catch up on posting / uploading projects and working on plenty of new one's as well. 



This time I wanted something non-nautical.
It’s fun being able to share with you an off themed layout like this with such a deep themed collection.
I started with a Mushroom cardstock base and sprayed Blue & White misting sprays on and drew around the edge to create a boarder with black pen for a fun background.
Using paper #2 I cut several 2.5“ pieces of paper into 4.5 / 4.5 / 4.5 / 3 / 6 / off cut
Then a few 3” pieces into 5 / 4 / 3
The blue & red were both 2.5” wide.
Red 3 / 3 - Blue 4.25 / 1.75
INK & BOARDER all pieces with black.
Plenty of black mats just .25” wider than the pattern paper.
There really is no rhyme or reason for the placements of the paper pieces, just still them down on a diagonal angle and then use foam tape to layer.
Cut off the excess that hangs over the edge and use those to layer some more!
The flowers are fussy cut from the Blue & Red paper #6
Photo mat to fit 5”x7”, however you can adjust it to fit your own needs and add a title to finish it off!






Let me know what you think! 
Thanks for your time, Happy Scrapping..
