Beach Party

Don't you just love going to the beach!!!!  Well our family does, and for our daughter's 6th Birthday, we did just that.  This was a fun layout to create!!! 

I used blue open stock paper from JoAnne's and layered it on top of navy blue card stock.  The sand was cut on off white card stock at 11.80" from the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge on page 78.   To give it the sandy color, I inked it with Momento brown ink and placed it on pop dots for added dimension.  The beach chair and umbrella were cut from the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge and can be found on page 41.  I cut several layers to give them dimension/color as these are accessories to the cartridge and they only have one layer.  

The sand bucket was cut from Simply Charmed on page 51.  My cute little crab was cut from Create-A-Critter and cut at 2.41".  I used my Gypsy to hide her face and used my Peachy Keen stamps PK-754 Critter Faces-Medium. 

My title was cut from Cricut Craft Room Basics at 1.08" and the number "6" was cut at 2.15".  The embellishments are from Recollections.  

Man, writing this makes me want to go to the beach right now!!!!

I hope this give you some inspiration!!!!
