Beach Scrapbook Page Layout

Need some ideas for your beach scrapbook pages? Check out these two that I created for my etsy shop.

I wanted to have lots of room for pictures as you take many pictures at the beach. I then accented the page with coordinating stickers. I love the sand background paper and the blue is going to make any photo pop as it will go well with the beach pictures.

You could also use double matting and put a lighter paper on one of the darker blocks and use it for journaling like I did in the last layout.

         

Putting Together a Page

Sometimes I know exactly what I want a page to look like, other times I have to mull it over in my head for a bit. This page started with the fact that I had two scraps of paper that I thought were really pretty and I wanted to feature them in a page. At first I thought about using them as mats but then thought what was the point if it was just going to get covered over.

Then I thought about making it appear to be a long strip by putting another piece of paper down the center. At first I put the paper down the center but didn't really like the way that look so opted to put the paper a little off-center.

So next came the embellishments. I thought that the flower was a great compliment to the blue background. I wanted to put more orange on the other side to balance it out.

I then wanted to be able to have journaling on the page. I thought at first about putting the same ribbon around the mini-album but it was a little hard to tie. So it was off again to my embellisment stash! I saw some photo holders and thought that this would be great to hold down the album.

So Viola! I like the way the page turned out. Instead of adding mats I left it blank so that photos could be added in any configuration. The page is available in my etsy shop.
