Step-by-Step: Hot Fun

I have so many beach photos it's absurd. They are by far my favorite kind of photo to take. But with another summer vacation just a few short weeks away, I really needed to get some of them scrapped. Here is an attempt at tackling my ever-growing pile of beach photos.

With this layout, I started with my favorite supply, white cardstock. I just love the way beach photos pop off a white background.

Supplies:

• Bazzill yellow cardstock
• Bazzill blue cardstock
• The Paper Company white cardstock
• Heidi Swapp Writers Block
• American Crafts Holiday House Chipboard Summer
• American Crafts Precision Pro Marker
• craft store buttons
• Making Memories Velvet Stickers
• Creative Memories Cutting System
• Mini Glue Dots

Instructions:

1. I cropped each of the four photos to 3" x 3".
2. I matted the focal point photo with a ¼-inch mat of blue cardstock.
3. To create the waves in the yellow cardstock, I used my Creative Memories Wavy Cutting Tool and Cutting System. Then I trimmed the yellow cardstock to 3" x 8".
4. I adhered the yellow cardstock about an inch from the top and bottom and centered on the white cardstock.
5. I evenly spaced my photos so that there was an ½-inch in between all four photos.
6. A Heidi Swapp Circle Writers Block fit perfectly in the center of the photos. I added a blue velvet Making Memories sticker and some journaling, and accented it with American Crafts chipboard suns.
7. Colorful buttons from the craft store placed in the waves provided the perfect playful finishing touch.
