Hi everyone. Heather Leopard is here today with a layout that celebrates Ride the Wind Day, which is officially tomorrow. According to a quick Google search, This is "a carefree day to soar above the earth. You can catch a ride with the breeze, or float along slowly like a gentle, late summer cloud. Summer will soon be over. Catching the drift of this day is easy. Just relax, and let the wind carry you away in whatever direction it is blowing. Leave your troubles and worries behind for a spell, as you waft in the air."
We're still holding on to our warm summer days so I thought I'd commemorate this day with a layout featuring Ocean Air, Salty Hair. You can view Scrapbooking Process Video #17 on YouTube to see how this came together.
I really wanted to create waves on the layout and I wanted to contain them in something that remind me of the sea. While we are not on a cruise ship, all I could think about was a porthole window and how you can look out it and see the waves. With that set in my mind, I randomly hand-cut waves large enough to fit with the porthole I cut using my CAMEO.
In order to differentiate the layers of waves I added white gesso to the tops and then stitched each one with white thread. I also added the yellow background at the top to capture the essence of a hot summer day.
I printed my photo 3" x 3" with a border and simply trimmed the white photo paper leaving a 1/4" frame. I then added some die cut flowers, and the off-white leaf cluster that kind of reminds me of some sea weed we saw once we reached out destination. I also cut a frame and tucked that under my photo.
I wrapped my title around the porthole starting at the top left and then wrapping around to the bottom right. I choose to highlight the words "ocean" and "hair" so that you could ready it all different ways...ocean air, salty hair...ocean hair...salty air...whatever you choose!
The upper right was feeling a bit naked so I added a cluster or embellishments there to tie the whole layout together.
So tell me, how will you enjoy Ride the Wind Day?
