13. by the sea

Freshly made layout inspired by this month's theme at More than words challenge - OUTDOOR and WOODGRAIN:

Here at the seaside we spend most of the time outdoors - well, at least in the summer; rainy winter is really rough. For this LO I've used the photo taken this summer by the sea:

I've decided to keep it simple and leave a lot of negative space to let the woodgrain texture shine:

12. coffee

11. kraft & white

More kraft & white cards, this time with stamping and embossing, plus some drawing ink and texture paste:

The stamps I've used were lace from Kaisercraft and my absolutely favourite background from Prima - I could use this one in almost every project!

I really enjoyed making them, so finally I've made a whole set of eight cards in a box:

The project goes for the November Craft Stamper "Whatever goes" Challenge.

Finally! I'm a happy owner of Sutter Bind-it-all machine :) As soon at my new toy arrived, I made a little A6 hardcover notebook:
