Keep Calm

This layout is prompted by a scrapbooking challenge
by Color Stories Inspiration.

They set a new challenge every few weeks.

As my starting point, I picked a challenge from August.

Colour inspired by the scene
gives us our colour sampler,
then we take two pieces of evidence
& one testimony
to guide us through the challenge.

I documented a beach trip from my childhood.

This image is taken from an old black & white photograph
of me with my bucket
gathering shells & sea tumbled fragments of glass.

In addition to the prompts,
we are provided with some delicious paper
& elements to use.

I used the quotation provided,
adding the small fish on top..

I made an envelope to hold my tag.

I found this small piece of ribbon in my ribbon box,
just the right size to be attached by a blue staple.

I added transparent blue dewdrops,
which go across the top of the layout.

The shells are layered with Glue Gel from Pinflair to give dimension.

I thoroughly enjoyed this project
& am looking forward to
working through more case files.
