The Beach Life 8x8 Layout by Amy Voorthuis

Good morning lovely fans.
Do you also love summer as much as I do?
 I just can not say goodbye to it yet....so I will not and you will see that on my 8x8 layout that I show you today. For this layout I used a picture of our son back in 2010 when we where in Spain for our vacation I just can't get enough of these lovely pictures of him. I used the amazing "Sand & Sea" collection by 49 and Market for this layout.

The Beach Life: 

First I cut out all the dies that I wanted to use as I normally do when I create a project for Cheery Lynn Designs. Then I place them on my background sheet and pick out what I like best....after that I work on my background with stamps, sprays and paste. I distressed all the edges you see on my work also the mat behind my picture and the outer borders of my layout.

The flowers are treated with Lindy´s Magicals and white spray and I added a pearl in the centers. For the background I used a bubble stencil with paste.  Once it dried I added star dust Stickles on the bubbles to let it shine a bit.

I just love how the dies compliment the paper and the colors go so well together. I am very happy this layout tuned out the way it did. Don't you just love these flowers??? Awesome Bohemian collection -one of my favorites of Cheery Lynn Designs.
