Hello, friends!
There are oodles of wonderful embellishments found in the Into The Blue Scrapbooking Kit and Into the Blue Creative Kit that are sure to make your pages pop.
Linda Jordan: Beach and Summer Quote Labels

I was super inspired by the fun label embellishments in the Into The Blue Scrapbooking Kit. The labels had beach and summer-themed quotes, perfect for documenting a trip to Cape Cod in 2020 for my daughter's album. I measured the width of the labels using my ruler and then printed out an assortment of photos from the vacation that featured my daughter at that same width.

I arranged the photos + labels in columns on the page and had fun alternating between the fun phrases of the labels and the photos to get a balanced spread. Because the columns didn't perfectly fill the page (I'm using 8 1/2 x 11 paper), I added some of the washi from the collection down the sides of the page. Then I used the large alphas in the Into The Blue Scrapbooking Kit to create a bold title across two columns.

Once I had everything arranged on the page, I was able to quickly adhere it down. The label embellishments were stickers, so it was super easy to just peel off the backing and adhere them to my page. Finally, I topped off the spread with a simple chipboard right under my title. I absolutely love how this one came together!
Traci Reed: Washi Sticker Book
When I saw the flip book sticker pad in the Into the Blue Creative Kit, I just knew I had to find a way to use them on the page because they were a CHALLENGE for me! Not only are they small rectangular stickers, but they're semi-transparent as well!
I decided to create a page with a strong linear/boxy vibe to play off all the rectangles I was going to add by using four 2.5" square photos AND two journaling cards in addition to 4 stickers from the sticker pad. Arranging these in a vertical collage provided all sorts of corners where I could then add clusters of non-boxy die cuts and stickers from both the Into the Blue Creative Kit and Into The Blue Scrapbooking Kit to make the page feel more free-flowing.

Lastly, I finished off the page by adding quite a few rub-ons mainly from the Into the Blue Creative Kit into both the background and foreground to add to the painterly vibe of the background paper I chose!

Pro-tip: when working with vellum stickers, place them over a light color on your layout so they're visible!
