This is my happy place layout

Today I'm sharing another favorite layout. I'm loving cut files right now for several reasons. I can use so many colorful papers on one layout. I can simplify the process because I use my Cricut to cut the outline and the inner pieces. Finally, I can quickly finish a layout on a smaller canvas. For this page, I decided to cut the title with black cardstock. This paper is from Simple Stories, called Just Beachy, and it has a bold, happy color palette. I felt that the black would stand out more with the beach background paper.
I decided to replace the A's with photos. After tracing and hand cutting these pictures, I used liquid adhesive to assemble the cut file. As I've shared before, I love using a paint splatter stamp to make a distressed background. For me, it's controlled mess with a great end result. I used a teal ink to coordinate with the beachy color vibe.
I had just enough room for two smaller photos, matted with another patterned paper. I added journal blocks and tags to the top right of the layout. Then I had fun with die cuts and foam adhesive! I love our time at the beach every year, and I love this colorful layout that documents this special time.

Supplies Used:
Close to my Heart Stamp (discontinued)
