Aspen Beach

We had a gorgeous day here in Calgary, Alberta today! And, as anyone knows who lives here, you better enjoy those last few beautiful days before the snow flies! As a Nova Scotia girl who moved here in 2004 I'm still always surprised how quick fall is here.  The leaves have turned (we've already had a few snowflakes) and many trees are already bare from quite a few blustery days.

So, not wanting to forget about summer quite yet I found some summertime pics to scrapbook for the October Sketchy Challenge at Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine.

I love the look of the Polaroid picture frame, so this was a fun sketch to do. I even made a second page with coordinating colours to complete a two-page layout.

I sprayed some leftover packaging with pink and orange Dylusions Inks and then used a stencil and sponged on Distress Ink in Black Soot through the arrow stencils to create the banners in the background.  Of course, I had to add some Distress Inks in blue around the edges!

 I added some stencilled arrows along my journaling card and added in some chipboard arrows on my page.

I used some of the same misted cardstock packaging on my second page to tie it together along with some arrows and orange colour.
