Best Beach Vacation Ever Scrapbook Layout Idea

Best Beach Vacation Ever Scrapbook Layout

Recently I have been experimenting with using some of those handy dandy scrapbook Dazzles that everyone has been raving about it. While I agree they are easy-to-use, I often have a hard time incorporating them into my scrapbook layouts.

A few weeks ago I purchased a lot of those Dazzles and decided to finally get busy using some of them on my layouts. This is a beach scrapbook layout that measures 12" x 12" size and is a great layout for those who are just getting into scrapbooking or for those who don't want to spend 2 hours working on one page. Quick, Easy & Inexpensive for Sure!

My background consists of one 12" by 12" sheet of printed scrapbook paper done in various shades of green and blue...wavy print which I ran horizontal to remind me of ocean waves. I then cut a piece of medium blue paper to measure 12" by 4" in size and ran that down the right side of the page. I cute a piece of sage green paper that measures 1/4" by 12" and ran that down the page too, to finish off the edges.

I had four photos that I needed to get onto the page so I did them in a grid style and matted them onto light blue, then sage green and then dark blue scrapbook papers. The light blue mat has a 3/16" border, the sage green a 1/8" border and the dark blue a 3/16" border. For newbies, it is basically a big old rectangle of photos that are matted onto three different sheets of paper.

I then placed that onto my background using adhesive. I accented the left side of the photo mat with 3 round gel stickers, each in a different beach theme. I really love using those 3-dimensional gel stickers on my pages as it adds a little something extra & special to them.

Now the Dazzles...I took the VACATION dazzle sticker and placed it onto light blue scrapbook paper. I then used my tiny scissors and cut out around it, cutting close to the black Dazzle outline edge. I used foam dots to place it onto my page. For the "The", "Best" and "Ever" I just pulled those off the backing sheet and placed them directly onto my background sheet.

I did just a tad of journaling in my own handwriting across the bottom of the scrapbook layout. I don't like overly-busy and cluttered layouts so I keep my journaling simple on this one and left my large photographs speak for themselves.
