Scrap Club Round 3: Sanding, Distressing & Spritzing

Scrap Club Round 3 sees a stash of the new 2013-2015 In-Colour cardstock and DSP Stack. I have teamed it up with the Core-dinations 12 x 12 Cardstock, Stampin' Sanding System, Stampin' Distress Tool (all on page 157)  and a pack of two Stampin' Spritzers (pg 164).
 
Here is the layout I have made using the Scrap Club kit and the stamp set 'By The Tide'. The 12 x 12 Baked Brown Sugar Core'dinations card stock has been sanded to give it a distressed look. I have stamped the coral onto the Coastal Cabana cardstock, then spritzed it with Baked Brown Sugar to give it a watery look. The baked brown sugar photo matts have been distressed with the Stampin' Distress Tool.
 
Of course this doesn't need to be a water-themed layout and can be changed easily enough with a different stamp set, but with summer on it's way, Im sure there will be plenty of swimming, fishing and boating to be enjoyed.
Looking forward to sharing this with my Scrap Club ladies.

Honey Bee SWEET!

How cute is this little stamped honey bee? And then cut out with Stampin' Up's! new Hexagon punch. I tried to resist buying this punch, but soon found out I couldn't live without it. 
 
 
 
I am going to run the title sideways on the 1st page, up beside the daffodil delight 5" x 7" matt, but this matt could also be turned around to become a landscape print and the heading run along the top.
 
I've also used the new In-Colour 'Baked Brown Sugar' for the 1st time on a layout, I think I might be using this a lot more in the future. :)
