Beach Layout Made with Cricut Design Space

Hope everyone has had a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day Weekend!

A few days ago, I took some time to cut and complete a Beach layout in Cricut Design Space. 

Another artist in a file sharing group I am in, created the layout. 

I went in and altered it slightly to fit the look I was going for. 

So today I had the time to add my photos. 

These are from Panama City Beach in Florida, from a couple years ago. 

You will notice on the layout I do not have the date.

 I have to go back and find the date on another layout and add it. 

This layout is one of 6 layouts from that one day at the beach. 

I added journaling on the first layout in the set, which is why there is not journaling on this one. 

I did however add a Pocket Plus Memory Protectors to this one, because I had a few extra photos, I wanted to add, but didn't have the space on the two pages. 

I use Pocket Plus Memory Protectors often in my scrapbooks. 

Next week, I will have a tutorial on how to create shaker pockets in your albums using the We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool. 

I have found sequins and creating pockets, is my new love.

Purposeful Plastic - CTMH Technique Blog Hop

There are 10 other amazingly talented Close to my Heart Consultants sharing their artwork with you for this month's Blog Hop. 

Should you get lost along the way, all participant's links can be found here. 

If you are coming from Michelle's Blog, you are on the right track.

As mentioned in a post a couple weeks back, I love to use our Cardmaking Kits to create layouts. 

These exclusive stamp sets coordinate perfectly with the patterned paper collection, as well as the supplies that come with the kit.  

For the Close to my Heart Convention a few weeks ago, I submitted a rather simple layout of my son Constantine when he was 6 months old. 

He is now almost 2. 

Here is a photo of the layout submission at Convention.

For the contest, I did not use 6 x 12 flip flap memory protectors, or any of the additional Pocket Plus Memory Protectors, however once I got home, I realized I wanted to add more journaling and an additional photo or two to my layouts in my album. 

When I take photos of my children at home, we almost always have a ton of photos. 

Using flips flap memory protectors or the Pocket Plus Memory Protectors is a great way to add just a little more space. 

They come in several different sizes.

I chose this layout to highlight the "Purposeful Plastic" technique for this month's Blog Hop. 

Here are photos of the layout in the album with the 

Pocket Plus Memory Protectors included.

I used all Close to my Heart products for the layout and the additional space.

The layout itself features the Fresh Air collection paper, and the products included in the 

Workshops Your Way® In My Heart Cardmaking Kit. 

The Picture My Life Cards that you cut apart from the paper collection were perfect for the Pocket Plus Memory Protectors.

In addition to the paper, and cardstock, I also used the pretty sequins pieces as embellishments. 

The "Memories" wording is from the Documented Complements.

This collection will be retiring at the end of the month. 

It is perfect for camping, outdoor, and masculine themes but also as you can see here, baby boy.

Thank you so much for stopping by, before heading over to Valerie's Blog, please consider leaving a comment and enjoy the rest of the creative talents in this month's Blog Hop!
