Layout by **Krislyn Mattei** — CM Independent Advisor

To create this layout you will need:

Step 1: Use a piece of lobster buoys paper as the base for this layout. Cut a 9-1/2” x 12” strip with green plaid paper and adhere on the center of the base. Cut two 1/2” x 12” strips with stripes paper and tuck one behind each plaid edge so that just 1/4″ shows.

Step 2: Choose the “Capturing Memories…” 6” x 4” variety mat and adhere on the layout. Choose the 6” x 4” variety mat that has a navy porthole. Cut out the porthole using the inside of the large circle pattern and the red blade. Save the circle for Step 4. Adhere the remainder of the mat on the layout as shown. Crop a photo to 5-3/4” x 3-3/4” and mount on top. Crop two photos to 3” x 4” and adhere on the layout.

Step 3: Using micro-tip scissors, cut apart the lobster, shells and crabs laser cut borders to approximately 8-1/2” – 9-1/4” long. Adhere as shown on the bottom of the layout. Adhere the remaining crabs on the title variety mat, and the remaining shells on the top right of the layout.

Step 4: Adhere the porthole mat as shown. Adhere stickers and journal as desired.
