"Under The Sea" Two-Page 12x12 Scrapbook Layout

by Joe Rotella
(Columbus, OH USA)

Shimmer glitter paper (Beyond the Sea | Mini Décor Stripe) by Heidi Grace Designs is the inspiration and background for this two-page spread depicting life in and around a coral reef with places for 6 photos. The bright palette brings in all the colors you would find in a living reef.
• The ocean floor is sand paper that’s been torn to give a textured, natural edge.
• The crabs and shell are punches.
• The sea turtle, seahorse, jellyfish, dolphin, corals and seaweed are paper piecings from designs by MyScrapChick
• The font is Boingo, with the letters welded together to create three separate pieces.
• All the paper piecings and the title were cut on my Cricut Expression™.
