With its beautiful beach tones and a shabby feel, the COASTAL BREEZE collection by Magical Scraps Galore evokes the magic of the seashore and includes gorgeous papers and embellishments such as seashells and starfish, a beach hut and fishnets, ropes and buoys, a beach bag and flip flops, among many other fabulous goodies and patterns. Perfect to scrap your favorite seaside photos and coastal memories.

I really like the journal cards in this collection and wanted to make sure and use at least one. This first page is from a trip James and I took to San Francisco in 2011. This page documents one of the yummy restaurants we visited.

This double-page spread is from a weekend getaway we took to Galveston after we attended James’ friend Ray’s wedding. We ended the getaway by visiting the beach.

I really wanted to scrap with this kit, but I wasn’t sure what to scrap with it. I thought about something related to Jessica’s love of penguins, but I wasn’t feeling it. Instead, I asked one of my Disney buddies if she had any pictures of Mary Poppins. She sent me a few and the coordinating photos. Isn’t Spencer the cutest? To think he now is a black belt.

I am not a surfer girl, but I knew as soon as I saw Marina’s new kit, that I would be scrapping some more of our 2008 trip to Tahiti. The colors are perfect for the ocean. Both of these two layouts are from the Bora Bora leg of our trip.

Spectacular Spring

Posted on by

Word Art World has a great new word art set that is perfect for spring. You can buy it at Gingerscraps and The Digi Chick.

I have two layouts using two different word arts from this set. They tell part of the story of last year’s neighborhood egg hunt.
