To create this layout you will need:

*Layout by **Krislyn Mattai** – CM Design Team*

Step 1: Use a piece of Bright White Cardstock as the base for this layout.

Step 2: Cut a sheet of blue pool water designer paper to 12″ × 5″ and adhere at the top of the layout.

Step 3: Cut four 6″ × 2-1/2″ strips with a variety of designer papers (teal water, blue words, teal waves and bubble). Cut one strip from the “Fun in the Sun” mat.

Step 4: Cut a V-notch on one end of each strip. Adhere side-by-side below the pool water designer paper, cutting the bubble strip in half lengthwise and placing one half on either end. Adhere a decking border sticker on top.

Step 4: Crop two photos to 3″ × 3″ and mount them on two 3-1/4″ × 3-1/4″ pieces of canary cardstock. Adhere one 6″ × 4″ photo on the yellow “Pool Days” mat. Adhere photos on the layout.

Step 6: Adhere embellishments and stickers around the photos and mats, popping some up with foam squares for dimension.

Step 7: Journal as desired.
