american crafts shoreline

It is Shoreline week on the American Crafts blog and I have a few projects to share.

The first project I made was this layout...with a giant picture:

I knew I wanted our beautiful beaches to shine here, so that is why I went big with the photo. I didn't need to embellish too much...I love the Delights (pinwheel flowers) that come with almost every collection, so I used up a ton here. Sometimes I have to really restrain myself from using them all on one project;)

For the sun, I used a circle punch on the center of the Neptune Patterned Paper. I then stitched some lines across the circle and topped it with the sun cardstock die cut.

I also created this card for the blog (how much do I LOVE that flip flop paper?!)

One of my very favorite pieces of Shoreline is THIS patterned paper. Those sunshines make me happy;)

Finally, I made a layout that wasn't necessarily beachy-themed. The colors just worked with my photo;)

I am always asking A if she is 12, so that's where this title and page came from;) Sometimes her sass prompts me to ask, but sometimes it's a glance or photo and I think, sheesh, when did she get so big?! She is growing up sooooo fast!

there go the Delights again

I went really clean and simple with this page, but I like how it turned out:)

Are you loving the Shoreline collection as much as me? I actually created a couple of projects with it last night, can't get enough;)

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, filled with sunshine!!
