Move over Caribbean, Mediterranean and the Mexican Riviera.
Many may think of taking a cruise as sailing to exotic, tropical ports. But cold-weather cruising is hot, hot, hot, with destinations like Norway, Greenland, Alaska and even Antarctica to take in the vast wilderness, inlets and fjords, wildlife (hello, seals, orcas, puffins, bears, mountain goats and bald eagles!) and more. Well, after your brisk adventures and portside pictures, make this nautical scrapbook layout!
Rainbows are such a beautiful optic in nature… one of the closest things we have to real magic in life! Just after a storm passes through and the rain clears, clouds dissipate and the sun peeks out to say “hello” again, making for a spectrum of shades that curve across the vast sky. (And gosh, rainbows make you feel happy, don’t they?) In fact, these arched, awe-inspiring phenomena have been linked with feelings and meanings of new beginnings, luck, imagination, wellness, positivity, hope, spirituality, harmony and so much more. This rainbow scrapbook layout from blog contributor Sachiyo Omitsu is sure to not only put you in a good mood, but also brighten and frame your beloved, sky-high memories!

Seas these fascinating facts…
Sea stars or starfish aren’t actually fish — these amazing creatures are echinoderms and are closely related to sand dollars and sea urchins. Even more so, there are approximately 2,000 species of sea stars living in every one of the world’s oceans — from tropical, rocky Caribbean seafloors to the frigid depths of the Arctic — and many having more than the common five legs like a traditional star. The most ideal time to find sea stars is during low tide when tide pools become easy to see (just remember to not harvest or touch them to avoid injuring the pointy organism), but we’re all about a high tide of creativity today, especially with these summer scrapbook borders with starfish details. Dive away!
