I have been a following the Vol 25. blog via my google reader for quite some time now. I am not sure how I first stumbled on it, but I fell quickly in love with her quirky fun art. Hello, clouds, polaroids, hearts, typewriters, paper airplanes… I could go on and on. Jessica’s art is available as prints, merchandise, stamps and overlays here. These overlays are great for both photographers and (hello!) scrapbookers! I saw that she was having a design team call and was ecstatic to be invited to be part of the Eye Candy Overlays team.
The first set of overlays I got to work with is called Ahoy Overlay Set(it’s on sale right now)!
The boys and I went down to see the pirate ship docked in Kahalu’u for the filming of the newest Pirates of the Caribbean movie. I snapped pictures of the ship and the boys in front of the ship. I used my totally rad actions for post processing and then added this ahoy shape to the picture. :)
Then I added this picture and others to a digital layout:
on location
In Photoshop I opened a piece of Kraft Paper by Miss Mint and a few curled frames. I added the frames to the page and lined them up. I added the photos under the frames. I added the water shape under the block of pictures for the journaling and sampled the color from the sky in one of the pictures. I added 3 clouds in white and lowered the opacity. I added journaling and the title. easy peasy and oh so cute, if I do say so myself. all that aqua sky and water make me happy :)
for my second layout I pulled out an old Halloween picture that I couldn’t resist:
cutest pirate ever
I opened a Graph paper, star and button from Miss Mint, Polaroid from Jen Allyson. I processed the photo with Totally Rad Actions and placed it under the frame. I added the Birds, waves and not all treasure is silver and gold word art is from the Ahoy Overlay Set. The color for the birds and waves are sampled from the blue button. I also created the word art for the title and used the same shade of blue. One my favorite part of digi-scrap is being able to choose the colors you want to use! :)
Do you want to see more inspiration for the AHOY overlay set?
I can’t wait to play more with all of these awesome goodies from Jessica! Thanks for stopping by!
