Many of us have enjoyed long strolls across the sandy-meets-watery playground that is a shoreline. And as you meander along the beach, there are many things to be discovered — seashells, seaweed, coral, interesting rocks, pieces of smooth sea glass, driftwood… and wonderful stories, memories and photo ops, of course! Take a look at this seaside scrapbook spread (plus, a cute little crab you can make yourself!) and let your creativity drift with ease!

Step 1: Use the ocean blue water ripples tonal paper as the base for both sides of the spread.
Step 2: Cut a piece of the red hemp designer paper to measure 12″ x 5″. Adhere horizontally near the top of both sides of the spread.
Step 3: Using the sand ripples designer paper, tear to create a “beach”.
Step 4: Cut the Adirondack chairs laser-cut paper to measure 5-1/4″ wide. Lay this piece on top of White Lined Designer Paper, tracing with a pencil around the inside circle. Cut out with scissors and adhere to a piece of cool taupe burlap tonal paper measuring 5-1/4″ x 12″. Adhere this whole piece to the right edge of the second page of the spread.

Very nice…finally a two page layout.
Absolutely beautiful! I can’t wait to try to copy it!
Great layout but what will you do with the leftover piece from the Adirondack chairs laser- cut paper?
Great idea, cutting the laser cut paper in half! Makes the layout look so good. Thanks for sharing it
