My Project: 12 x 12 Two Page Layout


My camera kinda takes wierdo pics sometimes.
The background paper is BRIGHT YELLOW!!


I made the pattern for the waves and I used my Creative Memories cutter for the sand. The PARADISE title pattern, flamingo and coconut tree are is a pattern set from Scrappin Bug Designs: http://www.scrappingbugdesigns.com/


When we travel I pick up brochures, etc and I save tickets, stubs from museums and anything else along the way. I left plenty of room on the pages so I can stuff all my memorabilia picked up along the way around the photos and I will use the waves as pockets. Sometimes I buy a map of the area and cut it up and stuff highlighted spots on the map behind my photos too.

Patterns used by Scraptastical Kreations

I used the umbrella pattern from SK "Just Beachy" pattern set. I actually cut 4 and then cut sections to make this umbrella.


I used the sand castle and girl pattern from
the Scraptastical Kreations "Just Beachy" Pattern Set.


I used the referee pattern from Scraptastical Kreations
40-Love Pattern Set. I did cut it it one step shorter to fit on the page where I wanted it. I added a pair of sun glasses.


I used a small punch for the swirls on her bathing suite



Thank You~

4 x 4 Mini Match Book Album w/ Tutorial

Album Design by Corrine Paul
Sun pattern by Scraptastical Kreations;

"Just Beachy" Title Pattern


I altered the Just Beachy Title pattern so that I am using the sun portion only for this project.


You can Google Mini Match Box Album Instruction/Pattern and you will find several different versions of this album. I made then several sizes but this is what works for me.


I cut one 8 1/2 inch long and 4 inches wide strip for the outer cover.


For the flips measure 1 inch bottom flap and 3 1/2 inch upper flap (title cover page)


Inside pages (shades of blue) are 3 1/2 inch long and 3 1/2 wide.
Photo mat (suns on white page) are 3 inches long by 2 3/4 wide.


I used a 1 inch circle punch and made 3 tabs. I put them on the 3 inside pages.
I printed nautical terms using different fonts and place a different one at the top of the five inside pages.


I inked all edges before assembling


I made a little sail boat for the front cover and tied a ribbon through the holes.
Top flap folds down and tucks into bottom flap like a match book.

Thank You~

SK pattern from the Berry Sweet Kids Pattern Set


I found a freebie french fry container template online to use, OR you could ask your favorite drive through to give you a clean container and carefully release the seams and use as your template


To make things easier for you, use double sided paper


As you can see I didnt use double sided paper and I didnt like the plain white


So I cut another one and slipped in inside


My edges were not mating up so I made trim


Using coordinating paper to design the front


I used the bear pattern from Scraptastical Kreations
Berry Sweet Kids pattern set


I added white socks to make her a little taller


I cut circles and for the scalloped edge I used my circle punch and punched out circles and attached them to the sides. I also used a Happy Birthday stamp.


I loved decorating her dress


Now all I need to do is put a decorative bag of chocolate inside and give this my my friend for her birthday

Thank you

Ocean Wonders
Under the Sea
12 x 12 two page layout

Page Design by Corrine Paul


Pattern used: Ocean Wonders


Pattern Design by Scraptastical Kreations
http://www.scraptasticalkreations.com/


Topper


I altered the bears in the Ocean Wonders pattern by changing the BEARS into MEN.
I cut the bear hair off and used the inner ear pattern as the man's ear.


For the man's hair I used the hair pattern for the horse from the
Western Days Pattern Set by Scraptastical Kreations.


If I make this pattern again I would make a wet suite by using black for body, legs and arms. Maybe the wet suite going halfway down the leg. That would be CUTE~

Thank You
