Go Nautical Like Never Before with this Beach Scrapbook Layout

Inspiration for scrapbooking is a lot like the tide. It comes and goes in waves, with some ideas continuously flowing like a waterfall and others leaving you in a bit of a drought.

Step 1: Use the blue rope patterned paper as your base.

Step 3: Using the Scallop Wave Border Maker Cartridge, punch a border with both navy and pale green patterned papers and trim out to measure 1-1/2″ x 1″. Mount the navy border on top of the pale green border, offsetting and overlapping as shown. Trim the border to measure 10″ long and adhere it to the layout just below the top edge of the wavy sailboats piece.

Step 4: Cut two 5/8″ x 10″ strips of starfish patterned paper. Adhere one strip to the bottom of the waves border and top it with the ropes border sticker, also trimmed to 10″. Adhere the other strip 1″ above the lower edge of the wavy sailboats piece.

Step 5: Adhere photos measuring 3-3/4” x 5-1/2” and 5-3/4” x 3-3/4” as shown. Add the “Come Sail Away” mat to the lower right corner of the wavy sailboats piece.
