Beach

OK, I do a LOT of beach pages.  But there are so many fun summer scrapping products out there, and little kids in bathing suits are adorable.  So there.

I ADORE this collection, "Undersea Adventures" by TPC Studios.  Bright colors, shiny paper, super cute sea creatures, puffy stickers, clear epoxy stick-ons, big brads... hence the 6 pages I couldn't resist doing:

Here's a couple more done with another favorite collection, "72 & Sunny" by We R Memory Keepers.  



Today's lesson:  if you find truly fantastic paper, like "Undersea Adventures" or "72 & Sunny", it is not possible to make an ugly page with it.  Of the masses of paper in my stash, my "can't go wrong" list is short and sweet, and these two are both on it!
