It time to hit the road and do some traveling for Summer. If you’re heading to the beach this year I’m sure you’ll snap some wonderful pics of the sun, surf and sand. There’s so many ideas to scrapbook about the beach like swimming in the ocean, relaxing on the shore, playing sports in the sand, having a picnic, scouting for cool seashells, watching the sea life , catching the sunsets and so much more. I’ve collected a wonderful group of layouts to help inspire you to create some great pages after you’ve come home from the beach. Be on the lookout for a few free sketches too!
