Crabby Bill's

This is my first layout completed for our St Pete Beach vacation from last summer. I used the Life Is A Beach Cricut cartridge to cut out the large crab (6"). I cut several layers and inked him and pop dotted the body, eyes (there are googly eyes) and claws. All of the small crabs were cut at 1 1/4", inked and googly eyes added. I cut the waves from cardstock and inked them and cuttlebugged the strip with the swirl folder. I created the title in Design Studio, by welding the font from Life Is A Beach...inked, cuttlebugged it with the distressed stripes folder and added some brads to look like nail heads.

This is the second page...same thing on the bottom border. I journaling and clipped the wording apart so I didn't have to place a large block on the page...I ran out of room! The paper and album is all K&Company, Sea Glass is the name of the paper. We loved Crabby Bill's. I have lots of beach pages to do and I can't wait to get them done now that I have started them!
