Scrapbooking the beach?

I made waves with blue watercolored paper from Joanns/Walmart/Creative memories who also has cute beach scene stickers, backround with velum papers

Have fun lots of little things like a card box on the page with some of the beach sand from the beach you visited or sprinkle sand along bottom of beach with glue and cut the closeups pictures right to the outline of figures in them to make it look more real like 3d foam on a flat page...hope that makes sense

also using colored chalks with qips works well too

A great idea for adding dimension to a beach layout is to make a shaker box with sand and tiny shells in it from the beach.

There's TONS of fun beach papers at the store. I've also seen where you can take the shells you've collected--especially ones like sand dollars, that are flat, and add those to the page. I've seen pages where you can tear different strips of paper, and make it look like sand--even add some glitter (or sand!) to it for added punch.
