Hello everyone!
Miss. Carrie here on the blog today with a lovely vacation layout I created using a mix of chipboard elements. I am new to the team, and I have truly enjoyed creating with the chipboard pieces and stencils.
The background was created using image transfers and stenciling.
I wanted to create a softer feel so I chose to use a grey paste with the Creative Script stencil After the paste had dried, I added a mix of ephemera and pattern papers to the centre of the page and created a grounding strip with the notebook edge border.
To bring some more texture to the page, I used the Burlap stencil on the notebook border and shaded it with black soot ink. I trimmed it down to fit and layered the photo on top.
Behind the photo, I tucked some foliage #27 that I shaded in soft espresso ink. These created a nice neutral frame and separated the photo from the floral pattern in the background.
Around the photo, I added a few more horizontal pieces of ephemera and layered some pine trees to match the theme of the photo.
The pine trees are shaded with a variety of green distress sprays and a brush of espresso ink I layered three of the pieces on the right side of the photo and a single tree on the left.
At the base of the page, I adhered the memorable moments title
This piece was prepped with white gesso, then sprayed with uncharted mariner ink, and distressed with black soot.
To match the blue in the title and border, I brought in a small circle phrase at the top. I tucked some twine behind this and added a few little arrows off to the left.
This little addition at the top of the page was a great way to finish off the project. If you are interested, I have a process video on

I hope that today’s project inspired you to create something new.
