Maritime Collection by Creative Memories for Scrapbooking

Hey, Creative Scrapbooker fans Katelyn Grosart here today on the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine blog.
I am here to share with you a fun summer themed scrapbook layout featuring the Creative Memories Maritime Collection. The jumping off point for my layout was using the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine August Sketch. With the sketch in hand I set off to create my Galiano Scrapbook Layout which features the Maritime Collection from Creative Memories, Blackboard Alphabet Die set from Elizabeth Craft Designs, Ink from Ranger Ink and adhesives from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. You’ll want to grab a cup of your favourite summer beverage as I share with you how to recreate my layout at home. To start, you’ll need both pieces of the wood paper out of the Maritime Collection Designer Paper Pack from Creative Memories. One piece will stay as a full 12×12 piece. The other piece needs to be cut down to 6”. From the 6” piece, cut one piece that measures 1” x 2” and another piece that measures 1” x 3”. Flip the piece of paper over and place the letters needed from your scrapbook layout out of the blackboard alphabet die from Elizabeth Craft Designs. Run the paper and dies through your die cutting machine. Distress the edges of the 12×12 paper, the 1” x 3” and the 1” x 2” pieces. Ink the edges of the papers and letters using Ground Espresso Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam from Ranger Ink .Choose one of the blue patterned papers out of the Maritime Designer Paper Pack from Creative Memories.

Cut the 4” x 6” striped wood card to 3” x 4”. Cut the 4” x 6” coral card to 3” x 4”, you’ll need the other half of the card. Distress the edges of all of the cards. Ink the edges of all of the cards using Ground Espresso Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam from Ranger Ink. From the sail boat paper out of the Maritime Designer Paper Pack from Creative Memories. Cut one piece from the sail boat paper that measures 1 ½” x 2” and a second piece that measures 1” x 3”, flip this piece over to show the crab. Distress the edges of both pieces. Ink the edges of both pieces using Ground Espresso Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam from Ranger Ink. From the striped paper out of the Maritime Designer Paper Pack from Creative Memories. Cut one piece that measures 1” x 3”. Distress the edges of the piece. Ink the edges of the piece using Ground Espresso Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam from Ranger Ink. The last piece of patterned paper you need from the Maritime Designer Paper Pack from Creative Memories is the tile-patterned paper. Cut a piece that measures 5 ½” x 7 ¾”. Distress the edges of the piece. Ink the edges of the piece using Ground Espresso Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam from Ranger Ink. Out of the Maritime Collection Laser Cut Borders from Creative Memories, you’ll need the seaweed, grey diamond border and the blue circle/diamond border. Cut the grey diamond border to 7. Cut the blue circle/diamond border to 7”. Cut the seaweed border into three pieces. You’ll need the top two pieces of the border.
