This scrapbook page came together so quickly. I was putting together cards using Carta Bella's Beach Day collection and I was hesitant to cut into some of the 12" x 12" pages because I knew they would make good background if I was to make a scrapbook page. When I spotted the words "Every summer has a story" on the cut-apart sheet, I thought this would make a really interesting title as well, so it inspired me to pull out my expired calendars and look for summer pictures that could work. I love reusing the pictures from the calendars on scrapbook pages, and in recent years, my sister has started using pictures grids, so this allowed me to have a three-picture block without having to do any fiddle-faddling myself.
A lot of the embellishments are images I fussy cut from the patterned papers, but I did use a few stickers from the sticker sheet as well. I particularly love the Summer Mix cassette tape, so I slid this underneath the title block. I borrowed the glasses from one image and added them to the popsicle. It has a little banner on it, but it was not standing out as much as I would have liked, so popping another one with foam tape over it gave it dimension and looked better. I used the number stickers from the sticker sheet to add my date at an angle above. The little banners were also stickers, and I added Candy Dots in matching colours over them. I picked two metal elements from the Word Tags pack, tied baker's twine around the top and popped them on foam adhesive to add to the page - it reads Happy Story. I used one of the cut-apart borders at the bottom of the page and lined it up with washi tape, and I added a few gems around the page.
