I used the colors and the polka dots as my inspiration for this layout. The paper comes from the DCWV The Kidlet Stack adn I used trendy twine o the tags for added embellishment. The challenge was to use a song title for the layout title.

I used the Create a Critter and the Lovely Floral Cricut Cartridges for the flags and the banner at the bottom.  This layout used the Boys Will Be Boys and Everyday Paper Dolls Cricut cartridges. The paper is from DCWV's My Sunshine Stack. The title on this layout is cut from the Life's a Beach Cricut Cartridge. Till next time,

Other cartridges used include A Child's Year, Life's a Beach, Animal Kingdom, Boys Will Be Boys, and Accent Essentials. Till next time,
