Here’s the perfect layout for Mermay, a darling girl dressed as everyone’s favorite little mermaid, Ariel! The bold pinks and reds bring a vibrant color palette, accented with flowers, shells and fun mermaid sentiments. I spotted this page on Jael Luvs2Create gallery at Scrapbook.com.
Each year on Instagram artists and creators design projects using Mermaids for Mermay, look for and use the hashtag #Mermay if your searching for ideas or participating yourself. So I thought it would be fun this month to take a look at some beachy, ocean, under the sea, on the water and Mermaid inspired scrapbook layouts.
Below each photo you’ll find a link, click it for details like products used, techniques and tips.
This fun in the sun beachy layout has a chevron pattern created with brightly colored pattern paper that have been stitched to the white background. Allison also added some cool sentiments and tropical flowers using products from Echo Park. Take a closer look at the Scrapbook and Cards Today blog.
This sun shiny layout has a grid of 4 in the center with three photos and a repeated “sunshine” sentiment, there’s also a fun check list and small title. I love the border made from fun long stickers! Find more info on the Creative Memories blog.
In the center of this design from Rebecca is a fanned out stack of vintage looking paper Polaroids with one holding the focal photo. Around it are many beachy chipboard elements like flags, umbrella, sunglasses, chair and more for a cool retro vibe. Learn more over on the Simple Stories blog.
The focal point of this amazing layout is the large beach ball created with a circle cut file, Tatiana used Versamark ink with small stamps to add the pattern on the ball. There’s also a spot for journaling in the sand, a banner for part of the title and a cluster of ocean critters too. I spotted this idea on the t-scrapsalot Instagram page.
This design from Sarah has all the action across the center with a border of layered circles, several with black and white photos from the beach and in the ocean. In the center is a heart shaped shaker element and a purple acrylic title. Swim over to the Color Cast Designs blog for more details.

Oh my goodness! How adorable are all the little mermaid and sea critters swimming around on this darling layout that uses products from P13 Papers!? I love all the soft pastel colors, it give a nice watercolor, story book feel to the design. I spotted these mermaid floating around on the byaggiee Instagram page.
This vibrant page from Laura has all the Tropical vibes! There’s lots of flowers, a bright pink background, butterflies and touches of distress from torn paper and paint splatter. Watch her process video over on the My Creative Scrapbook blog.
This under water layout is so stinking cute with a large snorkel in the center that has the photo inside and is filled with sequins for an amazing shaker element. Sheena will teach you how she created her deign in a process video on the Hey, Little Magpie blog.
Gold embroidery thread creates sun rays over clouded pattern paper on the background of this stunning layout. In the lower corner is the photo with clusters of flowers and some colorful paint splatters balance by the red title. I came across this design on the argelares Instagram page.
This lovely layout from Josefine has layers of white on white with a stitched border on the smaller square that also has thick clusters of fussy cut flowers and die cut butterflies.
