And don’t think that this is only for beginners, seasoned scrapbookers will find this book to be a great launching pad for more advaced techniques!  So I thought I would share my 20 min. layout…

Supplies: cardstock, letter tile (Bazzill Basics)

I started by adhering all my pictures down. The strip of pictures on the left is adhered on the 4×12 strip of the same cardstock. (It is actually a flap that opens up to reveal journaling. )

To make this very simple page even more memorable.. on the flap, I created “sandpaper” around the photos with sand that actually came from the beach. Brush the page with liquid adhesive, and sprinkle on the dry sand. Let dry, and brush off the excess.
