Step 1: Use the seashell designer paper as the base for your layout.

Step 2: From the insert sheet in the paper pack, cut a piece measuring 12? x 5?.

Step 3: Using a ruler and pencil, draw a horizontal line 2-1/2? from the top edge of this piece.

Step 4: Mark a point 4-1/2? from the left edge along the horizontal line.

Step 5: Cut several 6? x 1? strips from various patterned papers. Align each strip on the 45-degree line of your trimmer and cut one end at an angle.

Step 6: Adhere the angled strips along the drawn line, starting at the 4-1/2? mark, with the points facing inward toward the center.

Step 7: Cut a 3-1/2? x 3-1/2? square from the yellow designer paper and adhere it in the space between the angled strips. Trim any excess with scissors.

Step 8: Position the 12? x 5? piece with the angled strips 1? from the bottom edge of the base layout and adhere it.

Step 9: Using the Blue Solid Cardstock and the Scallop Blade on your trimmer, cut two strips measuring 12? x 1/2?. Adhere these strips along the top and bottom edges of the 12? x 5? piece.

Step 10: Cut two strips from the red dot designer paper measuring 12? x 1/4?. Cut one of these strips in half. Adhere one full strip approximately 1/4? from the top edge of the layout.

Step 11: From the Blue Solid Cardstock, cut three photo mats measuring: one at 6-1/4? x 4-1/4?, one at 4-1/4? x 4-1/4?, and one at 3-3/4? x 4-1/4?. Adhere these mats to the layout.

Step 13: Embellish your layout with stickers from the Relax Into Summer Stickers pack, using Foam Squares on some for added dimension.
