For my layout I used the Reflextions Scrap Book Program

I used the basic Main Frame - Four Square found on page 52

For my project I used the Seaside paper pack, with Lagoon and Topiary from the Adventure Cardstock pack, My base page and insert are Colonial White.

The Starfish come in the Seaside Assortment Package Z3014

I wanted to create a more seascape effect so I have used one of the stamps from the Treasured Friendship Stamp Set C1594. Once I place the pictures on top, it will look more like the paper was patterned with shells.

For more how to ideas please check out the you tube video below.
