Graphic 45 By The Sea Layout Tutorial

Hello!

Graphic 45 is featuring some By The Sea projects today, including a card by fellow design team member Romy, and this family-friendly layout tutorial by yours truly! This is a photo of my dear friend and her baby boy. When I first saw this photo on her Facebook page, I just loved it and knew I wanted to scrap it! My original plan was to use Sweet Sentiments and make a boy-themed page. But once I found out how much my friend loved By The Sea, I figured the nautical line would be just perfect!

I was quite tickled to see a sneak peek of my layout every week last month. It was a fun surprise not just for me, but for my friend whose picture is in my layout. 

Thanks so much for looking! Before I move onto the tutorial, I wanted to tell you about a special contest going on with Graphic 45 and Snapguide.
