Graphic 45 {On the Boardwalk} Beach Layouts

As part of a Christmas Gift for my brother, Adam and his wife, Vanessa, I created the following layouts of their beach trip last summer:

Just a little glitter made these “FUN” chipboard letters pop:

I love this photo of my brother with his sweet daughters – so cute!

I used some Shimmerz Spritz on this layout…I love the splattered look.

And…I had the glitter sitting on my desk so I had to add a little to this layout too.

These beach layouts make me long for Summer…not a good thing when there’s several feet of snow outside. Only er…5 months away???

I hope you have a wonderful day!

The Class I’m Teaching In Paradise…

I’m headed to California in early April. While I’m there I’ll be teaching a “Beach” layout at Paradise Scrapbook Boutique using the new “On the Boardwalk” paper from Graphic 45.

Here’s a peek at some of the little details:

Also, one of my layouts was posted HERE on the Graphic 45 Blog today. Tomorrow Graphic 45 announces their new design team for 2010. I have loved working with all the amazingly talented women on the Graphic 45 design team and I admit, I did submit again for the new 2010 team. I’ve been on the Graphic 45 design team since the very beginning and I’m just not ready to say goodbye. So, wish me luck – we’ll find out tomorrow if they’ve decided to let me stay.

Have a wonderful day!

It’s always hard to choose a favorite Graphic 45 line…but I think the new “On The Boardwalk” line is one of my very favorites!

I picked up this (not sure what to call it)…wooden plaque-stand? And went right to work.

I love glitter. I love Mod Podge. I love ribbon. I love flowers. I love paint. I love charms. I love paper. All of my favorites made it onto this little beach plaque…thingy.

I tied a little button next to the flowers. I love buttons.

See what I mean? Glitter is fantastic.

And some lace…I love lace.

Here’s a shot of the backside:

The back could not be neglected, although, I’m not sure who is ever going to look at the backside of this wooden thingy anyway.

OK. I feel ridiculous. What is this plaque…stand…thingy called?

Someone needs to enlighten me.
