🌺 It’s the little details that make this one so much fun!

Sandy Toes & Salty Kisses is packed with colorful beach-inspired ephemera to tuck into the pockets and use throughout your memory keeper.

Flamingos, tropical flowers, beach accessories, postcards, a little notebook—and some especially fun surprises, including a sunglass case and cosmetic bag. 🦩🌴

These are the kinds of details that make a Paper Craft Socials project so much fun to put together…and even more fun to fill with your own photos and memories afterward!

🌴 **“I love the journals…but what would I do with one?”**

I hear that sometimes, and **Sandy Toes & Salty Kisses** is a perfect example of why I love memory keepers!

Fill it with photos from a favorite vacation, beach trip, girls' weekend or summer adventure. Use the journaling pages to write down the stories behind the pictures, and tuck little keepsakes into the pockets—postcards, ticket stubs, receipts, notes or anything else you don't want to forget.

And then there are all those fun little pieces and ephemera that make it uniquely yours!

We're creating this colorful **Beach Bag Folio & Memory Keeper** at our next Paper Craft Socials Workshop:

Who’s ready for some Halloween DIYs? 🎃💀

These spooky skeleton candles started with simple Dollar Tree candles and skeleton hands! A little heat to shape the hands, some glue, and you’ve got creepy-cool Halloween décor that looks way more expensive than it is.

Such an easy project to add to a Halloween vignette or spooky display! 🕯️💀
