The timing was great for this kit because I got back from the beach on the same day the kit arrived, so I had lots of new photos that worked well with this collection.
This is the first layout I made, Hot Fun in the Summertime. The title is from an old tune by Sly & The Family Stone and was also covered by The Beach Boys. I had this song running through my head the whole time I was making this page.
The paper was originally oriented with the big splash on the bottom, but I rotated the page 90 degrees to give me a better spot for my titlework.
And here's a closeup of the bottom of the page. I love this photo of my son, running to get in the ocean as soon as we got there!
My second layout also uses a beach photo. Here, my son is waiting for the next wave and it looks like he's surfing. He's only 3, so he hasn't quite mastered surfing yet, but I went with that for this page.
I love this little fishie paper that's in the background. Super cute! To make the sun, I used a small rectangle of cardstock and made cuts into it for a stylized sun. I used a sticker negative - from in the word HOT in the previous layout - as the the sun's center.
Here's a closeup of the bottom of the layout. I made a surfboard from patterned paper, then pop-dotted a big splash sticker on top.
fabulously fun summer layouts!
