Life at the Pool - a LM page

Hey hey, friends!

I've got another super bright layout for you today - I created this page with this week's prompts at Lasting Memories, which were to use texture paste!

You can find a process video on my YouTube channel!

I got a little wild with my texture paste, but it's fun for this pool layout. It's also fun to get messy!

Finally used some of these cute tags I got from the Elle's Studio grab bag sale a while ago.

I used to say I wasn't patient enough to wait for mixed media to dry, but now I almost can't imagine creating a layout without it! This texture paste by Ranger dries crazy fast!

Many more pages to come with this kid & his crabby suit, I'm sure. LOL! The hat matches the floatee! I die.

Also, I may have bought numerous packages of these Mambi letters at TM the other day! I have them in Lime green and they have lasted me FOREVER! I had to snatch up the turquoise and gold when I found them.

These Elle's Studio tags really worked so perfectly with this Heidi Swapp paper. I have been trying to buy less paper pads, but this one was on sale, and I really liked most of the pages inside, so I allowed it. Like I mentioned, I've bee so into color lately, and this paper pad was full of fun, bright summer colors.

It's called Favorite Things.

Of course I have my Missy influence here with my torn page. I can't stop, won't stop watching her videos and just attempting to do what she does that I love! She's so talented, so why not.

I've seen a lot of talk about busting your stash recently. I'm not down for committing to any challenges rn, but I do realize I need to use more of my supplies I've hoarded. I have SOOO many! So you will likely see me throwing all the things at my pages all summer. Minimalism just is not for me! (Like those triangle stickers I've been holding on to that I picked up at TM like a year ago!? wth?)

So I hope you'll run over to Lasting Memories & play along with us this week. There is a prize up for grabs.

I also hope you'll check out my video and give me a thumbs up if you like it! I've been trying to get nt he habit of making more videos and growing my YT presence. These short little time lapse videos are definitely doable for me (as long as no one calls while I"m filming LOL!).
