Soft coral and green colors combine on this stunning beach layout from Susi. She added dimensional die cut stars, wrapped twine, vellum and pattern paper stars, sticker words and lots of layers of embellishments for a very dynamic design. Take a closer look at the Pinkfresh Studio blog.
This darling paddling in the pool layout has a layered background of different pattern paper die cut circles to bring lots of color and decoration. There’s also chipboard elements, lots of words and sentiments and enamel dots to finish it off. Visit the Simple Stories blog for more details.
Kelly cleverly turned a castle die into a sandcastle die for a beach layout with lots of bright colors and tons of patterns. She added chain stitching all around the dies and some background circles along with a dry embossed background for added texture. Take a closer peek on the Paige Taylor Evans blog.
This cool boating and tubing layout from Natalie feature fun mixed media techniques. She used gesso over pattern paper, adding some watercolors and stitching as well. Distress around the matts behind the photos adds a touch of grunge too. Watch her video tutorial on The Cherry on Top blog.
This fun Bay layout from Wendy has a torn stripey pattern paper border and tag along with lots of travel and beachy elements like a car, globe, sea creatures, umbrella and enamel dots inside of small sunburts. The custom title is made from sticker letters and she included some hand written journaling too. Find out more at the Hey, Little Magpie blog.
This wonderful Wild and Free page uses digital scrapbooking for a fast but fabulous design. I love the trendy teal color scheme throughout and the faux layers of flowers, ribbon, starfish and shells, they still give dimension while remain flat inside your album. I spotted this idea on 01Lousmith’s gallery at Scrapbook.com.
Here’s a fabulous fishing at the lake layout from Heather. This masculine design has wooden and chipboard elements and die cut fishing lures with lots of fun pattern paper details. Take a closer look over on the Scrap the Boys blog.
I love the sweet title “sandy toes + salty kisses” on this darling design from Jessica! She added splashes of watercolor for the background and created a sunburst behind the photos from torn pattern papers. There’s also thread for movement and texture. I came across her idea on the jessicaemichaels’ Instagram page.
This swim meet layout has wide vertical borders of pattern papers and three photos in a row. There’s a dimensional title and small clusters of tiny embellishments too but the paper is the stand out of this design. I spotted this page on The Paper Addict’s gallery at Scrapbook.com.
I love red, white and blue for summer layout color combos! This beachy page uses washi tape stickers and pattern papers from 49th and Market for wonderful watery page. Swim over to Katiepertiet’s Instagram page for more info.
Dorymar used a large die cut title backed with pattern paper for the focal point of her lake layout. Her staggered photos are surrounded by a cute raccoon in a canoe, pretty flowers, a sign, trees and several sentiment strips. Row on over to the Bella Blvd. blog for all the details.
I hope you’ve enjoyed taking a dip into some wonderful water inspired scrapbook layouts!
