Fun in the Sun-2 Page Layout

Hello Everybody!

I have a 2 page layout to share with you this evening.  That is 2 more pages toward my goal of 100 pages for the year.  I'm doing better than I thought!  I am submitting this layout to 2 challenges.

Let's Scrap is who provided the inspiration for the shape of my layout.  If you haven't been there--GO!  Especially since they are having a blog hop next week, and I am in it!  Also, there are 50 talented ladies who will be showing off cards--and there will be some blog candy involved!  Tune back here and I will give you more details as it gets closer.  It starts Feb. 1st!  Let's Scrap is a great community of scrappers!  Like I said go by and see!  After you scroll down and see my layout of course! :)

The 2nd challenge is Scrapbookers Anonymous.  This is a great place to go too!  They have challenges to make you use all of that cool stuff you buy!  :)  One of the challenges is using things that begin with the letter "F."  Here's what I used:

Fancy Pants papers (the printed papers)
Fish
Flip Flops
Fun in the Sun (title)

Here's my layout...Scroll down, and I'll show you a few highlights!

This is a closeup of the first page.

Here's a closeup of my second page.

First I started with my Bazzill cardstock papers--my blank canvas.

I pulled out my circle cutter and made this circle for my sun.

I cut it in half to make sure there was enough to peak out from the bottom.  I then had to cut it again because according to the sketch, the sun is also on the 2nd page.

This is yellow tissue paper left over from a present.  I always save the pretty colored tissue paper--and it looks like finally that is a good idea!  I just taped it to the back of the circle with Scotch tape.

Here's what it looks like before I put the blue paper on.

And here is my layout.  My son loves the beach, so I am sure there will be plenty more layouts featuring the beach!  Until next time my friends...don't forget to apply sunscreen!
