Simple Stories ~ Just Beachy #2 🐠

Hi all, it’s Anna back with you today. I’m sharing my second layout using Simple Stories - Just Beachy. 

You can find it in the shop here. 

To create this layout I used ‘Follow the Sun’ as my base. 

I then found a couple of cutfiles that I wanted to use alongside my Finding Nemo themed photos. 

I added three photos to the frames of the cutfile and then backed the seaweed, coral and shell elements with patterned paper from the collection. 

This MINE cutfile was perfect for a finding Nemo theme, I backed it using ‘High Tides’ and some scraps of appropriately coloured cardstock for the seagull!

I picked out the sea elements from the Bits and Pieces pack and used them to add clusters around the cutfile. 

I added a few enamel dots, I placed some of these near the fish to resemble bubbles! 

I used the floral bits and pieces to tuck around the cutfile, further extending the large florals on the paper. 

Thanks so much for looking! 

See you next month.

Simple Stories ~ Just Beachy #1 ☀️

Hi, it’s Anna back with you today! This month I’m working with the fabulous, bright and summery ‘Just Beachy’ collection by Simple Stories. 

You can find all of the lovely pieces in the collection here. 

For this layout I’ve used a grid cutfile by Paige Evans. I love to create grid layouts and a grid style cutfile is right up my street too!

The cutfile did have an additional two images on it, but I trimmed those off so that I could get in a couple more pictures! I have so many photos from our Florida holiday, I need to get in as many as I can on my layouts! 

I started by printing out the pictures I wanted to use in squares and mounting them to the empty square sections of the cutfile. I then backed the images in the cutfile using patterned paper from the collection as well as coordinating cardstock. 

Once my cutfile was complete I adhered it onto bazzill cardstock, which was also in the cardstock matchmaker pack. I am normally a white background kind of girl, but I fancied trying something bolder! 

I then added a few pieces from the Bits and Pieces pack dotted on the grid around the photos.

I added a journaling circle from the Pretty Little Studio Good Vibrations Die Cuts, which fitted in the middle of the sun perfectly. I will add my journaling to this space. 

Thanks so much for looking!

 See you later in the month with another layout using this collection.
