Summer and bikini pages



I have tried to put a lot of generic pages as I don't want to run out of room to put pictures that I hadn't counted on taking. The summer page was another one of those pages. I also wanted somewhere to put more than one picture so the black frame on the front opens to reveal another frame. Both these frames are found in Art Philosophy and cut at 5 inches.  These are held closed with a very thin round black magnet from the dollar store, and a round paper clip from some fancy ones that I purchased from Staples. I used a narrow ribbon to tie them together and glued just the bottom frame down.
This page was pretty simplistic. Large pocket, room for two photos and a little journal and large journal. 
I also took a white gel pen and outlined the black frames with lines. "Summer" was cut out of the Cricut and then I kept all the letters to use somewhere else in the book if I needed them. They were 
cut out at 1 1/4 inches. I think it had to try this several times to see if the lettering would go across the top and not be too small. I put a strip of turquoise paper behind the word to make it pop. The words 'good times" was cut from Wall Decor, cut at 2 inches. 




I made a tag from the journaling cards and put a tab on the top so it can easily be pulled out of the pocket. The little journaling card in the top right is held down by washi tape. You will see quite a few of the tabs that say PULL on the cards. I cut out the tabs from Artiste cartridge and cut at 3 inches.I just cut out three sheets of them in black, green and a rust color,

This page was done with my granddaughter in mind. I have no idea if she has a bikini but just wanted a picture of her by the pool. The bikini itself was cut from the Lifes a Beach cartridge. I cut it at 6 inches I think. I then took some turquoise sparkle paper I had, and punched out some circles for the polka dots.The small bikini I just used stickles.   In the song, "She Wore a Yellow Polka Dot Bikini", I could never figure out if the bathing suit was yellow and had polka dots on it or if it was another color and had yellow polka dots on it. lol 
The words "Teeny Bikini" is also on the same page and I cut it out at 3 1/2 inhes. The frame is in Artbooking and one could be cut at 7 and one at 5 or even 3. I have a little stamp with flip flops that I used for the first time. I thnk it was from Michaels in their dollar bin. 
The journaling booklet needed something on the front so I added a peel and stick and cut out a wee bikini. Don't know what size that was.
