Be a mermaid & make waves | Mermaid scrapbook layout

My daughter loves everything mermaid, from fashion to her favorite television shows to documentaries so we gave her a mermaid tail a few years ago as a gift. She only swims with it when in the pool but we brought it along on the trip for a little play time.

Since the mermaid scrapbook layout was also about the beach, I wanted to incorporate some visuals in that theme – waves and mermaid scales.

To begin, cut scallops from the Let’s Float scallop paper to resemble mermaid scales as well as waves. I love the scallops on this paper because they aren’t all shaped the same.

Starting at the bottom of the layout, overlap the scallop strips. Layer some more than others so it doesn’t look too symmetrical. Then add a patterned paper to the top half to resemble the beach. A thin paper strip at the seam helps give the page a more finished look.

Next, add a frame around the photo, a card with hidden journaling tucked behind the photo and also some Hawaiian-themed embellishments. I didn’t want to add too much here because the lower half of the layout is quite busy. I used an anonymous quote I ran across as my title. For a great visual, I wrapped it around my photo and to the side. This also helped fill in some of the empty space on the page.

Last but not least, add additional embellishments around the mermaid scrapbook layout to fulfill the visual triangle design principle. And of course, a fluffing of the scallops helps to finish it off.

I’ve gotta say it—she’s the cutest little mermaids I have ever seen.

Hi there Pebbles Fans! Hope you’ve been enjoying your Summer. Holly here from Ribbons & Glue sharing with you an easy DIY Pool Party Gift idea made with the Fun in the Sun collection.

Pool Party Gift idea made with @pebblesinc Fun in the Sun collection created by @ribbonsandglue

If you’re like my family, Summer revolves around going to the pool. Therefore, pool towels are very popular and pile up in the laundry. So, being inspired by a Summertime necessity in our house, I made this easy Pool Party Gift idea perfect and simple to bring to your next pool party bash.

To make this Pool Party Gift, I cut and wrapped a piece of 3 inch Fun in the Sun patterned paper around a towel.

Then, chose a beach ball cardstock shape from the Fun in the Sun Chips and adhered stickers and an enamel dot into center of the beach ball.

There you go – a quick and easy DIY gift perfect to bring to your next pool party or Summertime bash.

Are you ready for summer yet? If not perhaps this fun grid-style summer scrapbook layout created by Designer Marjan Pel will do the trick! We love the way she’s mixed patterned paper up for a fun look.

Last summer we had this beach vacation in the Netherlands. Zandvoort aan Zee is one of the major beach resorts of the Netherlands. It has a long sandy beach, bordered by coastal dunes. The kids loved it there! They played in the sand all day long. We had a lot of warm and sunny days during this summer vacation and we spent most of the time at the beach.

I wanted to scrap a fun scrapbook page about one day at the beach. First I cut my normal sized 4 x 6 pictures into squares because I wanted to use an easy grid design for my page. I used several yellow and blue designed patterned papers from different collections to make some sunburst cards.

I sewed vellum squares on 3 of them to give it an eclectic look.

I embellished the scrapbook layout with coordinating stickers and golden rub-ons. To give some of these embellishments a bit of a dimension I used little foam adhesives. The gold of some of the stickers and rub-ons remembers me of the color of the sun. For me sun is not only yellow, but has different shades of yellow and gold!

I just love summer and when I look at this scrapbook page I really can remember those warm and sunny days at the beach from Zandvoort aan Zee!
