Pool Layout

Back to Disney World Layouts:



We were so busy we didn't swim too much on vacation, but the kids loved the Finding Nemo themed Big Blue Pool, at the Art of Animation Resort.

This is a simple layout with bright colors. It seems a little brighter in person too. I used two papers from the "Best of Heidi Swapp" paper pack (an awesome 180-pages of  paper that I will be using more of soon) and a piece of blue cs for the base.
"Pool" and "pools rule" both come from the Carta Bella "Summer Splash" collection. The clear "gems" near the word pool are Nuvo Crystal Gems. The frame is from my old CTMH stash, the rainbow sticker is from Amy Tangerine, and the heart, star, and circle stickers are enamel dots from Shimelle box of crayons. 

I received the Nuvo Crystal Gems, the Amy Tangerine stickers (a lot of them), and the Shimelle enamel dots as part of a monthly card kit from the Simon Says Card Kit. A shout out to this card kit. It is a monthly subscription, but if you don't pay in advance, you don't get anything, and you can see what the monthly kit is before you decide to order. I really like it, and I've received a lot of new products to try in the kits. There are a lot of monthly subscriptions out there, and I definitely give this one a thumbs up.

Thank you for stopping by my blog!

Family Vacation Layout No. 3

Wisconsin Dells

This is the third in a series of layouts, to see the first two click on one of these links: Layout One or  Layout Two.


The Dells are all about waterparks. Our resort alone had something like three outdoor waterparks and three indoor waterparks, including huge slides, wave pools, and anything else you can think of. 
We spent much of our time in the kiddie areas with the grandkids.  Here's the layout memorializing those times:


 
I really like this two-page spread. The papers are from CTMH's "No Worries"
Workshops Your Way. The pink and yellow cs are also CTMH. The left page is devoted to Shae, our water baby, and the second to Finn the wild child.

 
On Shae's side, I matched the cs with the pink in her super-cute sun wear. She hadn't been sitting up alone for long, and it was adorable seeing her sit up by herself in a couple inches of water.
The "Brave & Strong" sticker was from the CTMH "Jack" Workshops Your Way stickers.
The button on the top is from Dear Lizzy.  I added doodling around the striped piece and silver Stickles dots to match the title.  Here's a close-up:
 
 
When I start to run out of a set of letters, I like to mix them together, and that came together well here. The letters were from three old sets. The net is from a CTMH stamp, and I doodled the white splashes with a white pen.
 

 
Finn's side used yellow cs to match the waterslide and the yellow in his trunks. He had an absolute ball going doing the slides and playing in the water.  The title letters are from the "Jack" CTMH Workshops Your Way.
 



"Together under the Sun" is from CTMH's "No Worries."  I used up a bunch of aqua Dots from CTMH around the sticker and at the top right to resemble water. Again, I doodled the splash above the title to make it coordinate with the other page.


 
The bright, fun look of this simple two-page layout really captures the joy the kids had in the water. The two pages use a lot of different colors and elements, but they have enough like components that they really compliment each other. Here's a look at the whole layout again:
