At my June Scrapbook class we made a 2-page layout using the Life’s a Breeze stamp set and the Something Fishy Jumbo Stampin’ Around wheel. The stamp set and wheel are retiring so I had to use them for a summer beach page this month. I took the color scheme from the Pink Flamingo Designer Series paper (which is not retiring) – Cameo Coral, Tempting Turquoise, Summer Sun and Real Red. We only used a small piece of the paper on the layout though. I hoping to design another page with the paper as the main design element but that will be for later. The layout is based on a design from one of Wendy’s WOW scrapbook pages from a year or so ago. These are the best pictures – the light was funny when I took them and the flash was washing things out. On the right page I stamped the “Lifes a Breeze” in Real Red ink on the Turquoise patterned paper but it doesn’t show up well. I’ll probably get out my stamp-a-ma-jig and stamp over it with Basic Black ink. I think that will stand out more – it is hard to see. The fish were stamped and then cut out individual. I used the paper piercer and poked a hole between the eye and the edge of each fish. I threaded them one by one on the linen thread with a knot inbetween. I used the little bits of Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach them to the page.

It should be a fun layout for some summer pictures – beach, pool, or swim team. It was really hot today – my car said it was 105 degrees outside! It really wasn’t but that was what it felt like – it was somewhere in the mid 90s I think.
Have a fun summer day!
