Fun Fair By Trimcraft

I have a new layout to share with you today, using the new Fun fair range by Heldi Cuppleditch.
the bright colours are perfect for scrapping all those seaside memories.

 I took these photos in Great Yarmouth at the pleasure beach a small amusement park full of crazy rides I would never go on.

Trimcraft have started to create their own range of dies, I have used the ticket die a lot already and I love this one because it cuts and embosses adding more detail to the finished die.  You can also separate the tickets like you would with a real ticket because it has a perforated edge. The dies all come with a nice thick metal shim that doubles up as an embossing mat. if you find the die moves about a bit just secure it to your cutting plate with washi tape.

my other favourite embellishment is the enamel dots mainly because they are shiny and give your projects a nice finish. these are available in a range of colours and in glitter.

The count down begins

with only a few days left before my holiday to Great Yarmouth, I thought I would share some layouts of one of my favourite holiday resorts.

Here is a smashbook page I made using the new Fun fair range from Trimcraft. the bright and over the top patterns match the mood of this resort perfectly. As you can tell there are a lot of amusement arcades.

These photos where taken on the Britannia pier and these are wooden stands with a cut out in the centre for your head to fit so you can take a  fun photo. The Victorians started it all off when seaside resorts became popular. This page was made for a make it Monday challenge at The memory nest.

The beach in Great Yarmouth is beautiful and is a mixture of sand and pebbles. I love to go for a walk and treasure hunt along the way. I made this one using Papermania happy days and textured cardstock. I used a template to create the hexagons.

it wouldn't be a trip to the sea side with out the Sealife centre. it doesn't matter how old you are there is something about watching fish that is relaxing.

 did I mention that I like to photograph the bright shop displays? why not they make colourful photos.
