Sea Ranch Creations by Susan : Memory Keeping Blog Hop

We're a group of Stampin' Up Demonstrators from around the world participating in a Memory Keeping Blog Hop to share different memory keeping projects that we hope will inspire you as you gather your memories. Scrapbooking allows you to let your creative juices flow as well as documenting the important moments in your life.

Today I'm sharing a two page scrapbook layout featuring a nautical theme using the Sailing Home Bundle. I'm so happy this bundle will be carrying over to the new annual catalog!

To make this two-page layout:

Use Pacific Point cardstock as your background (two pieces of 6.0" x 8.0").
Stamp a series of rope stamps from the Sailing Home Stamp Set in Pacific Point ink onto two 1.0" x 8.0" strips of Basic White cardstock.
Use the rope knot from the Smooth Sailing Dies and the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine to cut out 6 rope knots out of Pacific Point cardstock.
Attach the 6 rope knots on the stamped rope images on the Basic White cardstock using your favorite adhesive.
Attach each Basic White cardstock strip to the outer edge of each page using your favorite adhesive.
Cut 2 pieces of 3.0" x 4.0" and 1 piece of 3.5" x 4.5" of Balmy Blue cardstock.
Use the Seabed 3-D Embossing Folder and the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine to emboss the three Balmy Blue cardstock pieces. These will be the mats for photos and/or journaling.
Attach them to the two pages using your favorite adhesive.
Stamp 2 sailboats (1 small and 1 large), lighthouse, and an anchor from the Sailing Home Stamp set using Pacific Point ink onto Basic White cardstock.
Use the Smooth Sailing Dies and the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine to cut out all the stamped images and the wheel.
Arrange and attach the stamped images across the two pages using your favorite adhesive/dimensionals.
Cut the lighthouse and wheel images in half. Attach each half on each page using your favorite adhesive.
Tie a piece of Braided Linen Trim to the top of the anchor and place it on the page using dimensionals.
Stamp "Set Sail in the Direction of Your Dreams" sentiment from the Sailing Home Stamp set in Pacific Point ink onto Basic White cardstock.
Use the Smooth Sailing Dies and the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine to cut the label for the stamped sentiment.all the stamped images.
Attach the sentiment to the top of one of the pages using dimensionals.
