Beach Vibes!
It is Summertime! Hi there, it is Ali from @funadventureswithali, and I am thrilled to share a beach-inspired layout with you this month for the Simple Stories design team. I visited the Barbie Café in Chicago and had a fantastic time catching some waves. The Just Beachy collection was the perfect choice to capture this unforgettable experience.
To create my layout, I turned a 12x12 beach paper into a circle and used a chain stitch to attach it to the water paper. I adore the sandy border this stitch adds to my page.
I extended the waves from my surfing photo and embellished them with charming little fish and enamel dots for bubbles. A toothbrush helped me splatter white ink over the waves, title, and sand to enhance the beachy feel.
Isn’t that smiling sun just adorable? It brings so much joy to my layout!
The foam sticker “Hit the Waves” worked perfectly for my lifeguard and surfing pictures. I could not resist including the iguana because he is simply too cute!
I placed another fish at the bottom of the circle along with bubbles to complete the scene.
The larger title really ties everything together. I elevated it with foam tape, added a sprinkle of white ink, and adorned each letter with glitter enamel dots for a fantastic look.
Thank you for checking out my layout, and I hope you can squeeze in some beach time before summer ends!
Just keep on swimming!
With love, Ali
