Another Beach/Pool page with adorable penguins

This weeks class ended up being on a Tuesday evening because my beautiful baby girl had her 20th birthday on Monday and wanted to spend the day with me without my having to leave to teach a class, so I thought that was pretty sweet of her. But guess what? As the day went on, she received an invite from a friend she hadn’t seen for a while to go to dinner, so I told her to go and have fun. So class took place on Tuesday evening and it was a reunion of sorts. Our friend from Florida is up for the summer and her and her daughter who lives here both came, and another dear friend who hasn’t been for a while also came, and of course one of my regulars came and so we had a wonderful evening and everyone’s pages came out beautiful.

I hope you enjoy seeing our pages, and how when made with different paper and rearranging the layout, each taking on their own personalities. Enjoy :)

Jamie had some beautiful Close to my Heart paper that she used. I love this paper.

These next few layouts are Nina’s, Annette’s and Rubies, here we used photo copied cardstock for our mats. This paper came out of a pack and we didn’t have enough for everyone so we photo copied it!

Usually we chalk or ink all our pieces but this week we only did a little on our tree and used micro black pens and a white gel to add some detail to some of our pieces…they came out so cute, and the added little extra was some hemp for the bow on the bathing trunks, it just added that little extra.

Our Palm trees were missing the coconuts…and so with a pair of scissors, not the Cricut, the girls cut these cute coconuts and added it to the layout…how cool is that?

These cuts were made using Myscrapchick penguins…I own everyone of their files! Literally! I used the Make the Cut software to do all of our cuts. I love this program. Learning new things everyday on what it can do.

At the beach layout

Though we were small in number, we had a great time and everyone’s layouts turned out so nice! I would like to say a welcome to Coreen, it was nice having you attend our class!

This was a rather easy page to do, with little paper piecing, mat sizes were the standard 6 1/4 x 4 1/4, with pp 6x4, and then 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 with pp at 3x3.  CS representing sand was cut at 6” and then torn to give the rough edge implying the water coming on shore. Choices were for a little girl or little beach boy. After coming home and looking at my picture, I realized that I put the boys arm in the wrong  place, but no one else would know! Oops, I just blew that, :)

Enjoy our layouts and be sure to leave comments.  Kits are available by emailing me at dimahi@hotmail.com
