Life is a Beach looks fantastic! I can’t wait to use it when I scrapbook my first cruise and also to use it at school for our ocean theme.
Every summer I create a “beach” on my display shelves. I have fishing net, sand, water, glass bubbles and hundreds of shells (I’ve collected them all my life). I can already envision little starfish and octopi (ha) suspended from fishing line, dangling in the fishbowl. Glittered waves of navy paper will be the border…can’t wait.
I would love to win this cartridge!!! Summer is my favorite season and I have so many pictures that I need to scrap of my son playing, at the beach, swimming, at thee waterpark, etc. This cartridge would give me the perfect accents to the many many pages that I need to catch up on! Thanks so much!
I LOVE the beach and especially love to visit the beach with my grandkids–sun–sand–water–and spending time with them is priceless and doing the album pages of those times brings back all those wonderful memories! Life on a beach with them is what summer is all about!
I would love to have the “Lifes a Beach” cartridge because I am decorating my 6 month old Son’s room in a Sailor theme. His Daddy is on a Submarine and the sub design would look cute on his wall
I have family up and down the Carolina coast and we visit them often. I have so many scrapbook pages that I can use this cartridge. I can also use it on my cruise pages as well. I would also use it making cards and gifts.
I would like to try to incorporate my grandchildren’s pictures in with the octopus. The octopus would be hugging each of them with an arm, saying “when life gives you grandchildren, get all the squeezes you can”.
If I were to win, I would use it to scrap all the beach pictures I have. We live close to the Oregon Coast, so I have a lot!
“Life’s A Beach Cartridge” has so much to offer. We have several grandchildren who will be coming to spend a few weeks with us throughout this summer. While they are here, we plan to visit the Chicago Shedd Aquarium, go to the outdoor Water Park, take them swimming in the local indoor pool, spend some time along the Naperville River Walk, go to the Chicago Lake Front, the Children’s Museum, the Zoo, and much more! This cartridge would be perfect to use for making a “Memory Scrap Book” of their time spent here. I would also use it to help them make cards to send their parents that would include the different things that they saw and the places they visited. They could use the letters, numbers, borders, and choose individual items to incorporate what they saw. Not only would they be able to send a personalized card, but it would be a great training tool to teach them how to make cards and scrapbook (our future scrap booking generation).
The ideas for use of this cartridge are endless! This is one of those cartridges that will become a “treasured keeper” (which also sparks my imagination of various ways to use the “treasure chest”)!
So, these are just a few of the ways that I would use this cartridge. But, what would be the most meaningful use of this cartridge to me would be that, I would be able to share this special quality time creating memories with the ones that I love…
I would LOVE to win Life’s a Beach cartidge.We have lots of birthdays during the summer and always have a beach birthday party for at least one of them. This year we want to have all the kids make and take beach theme cards and door signs. This cartridge sure would make this mommy of 4 life a lot easier.
I love the font on this one! Unique. My daughter in-law loves Turtles, and my grandaughter loves to play at the beach. This would be great to add to my collection. Love the foliage too! I love Tropical plants.

I would use the hibiscus flower to decorate pillows and throws for an outdoor living space. After applying heat ‘n bond to the back of fabric, cut out using your Cricut, then applique around the edges onto your fabric background – easy!
I love the beach theme!! We go to Maryland every year. I would love this for my scrapbook pages.
We live in Florida and so much of our life and our children’s memories surround the beach, water, boats, and “beachy” types of activities. With this cartridge not only would it enhance my scrapbooking and all those pictures at the beach that need something – but would be something I could do for the teachers at school – where so many field trips and other activities center around the water.
I noticed the umbrella in the cartridge set, and I thought it would be really cute to create a rainy day card, rain-check notice, or a rainy-day activities book for kids…..so many possibilities…..
I have a beach theme in our bedroom and I’d like to see how I could incorporate some beachy items onto my walls with the vinyl.
I recently took a Carribbean cruise and I would love to use the cruise ship, flip flops, chair, umbrella, and palm tree in my scrapbook of that trip. Thanks for the opportunity to win the Life is a Beach cartridge!
I work at a daycare and would love to use this cartridge during my beach week to incorporate it in my art activities. Four years olds are so creative and my goal is to strech there creativity to it’s limits. This cartridge would really help!
We spent 4 days at the beach with our grand children…combing the beach and fishing and just having the time of our lives. Well, I do quilting and I would love to make a quilt to have for the grandchildren to have as our “memory lane” so to speak. I think the “beach” appliques would be darling.
I plan on using this to make invitations for my son’s birthday party.
My daughter is obsessed with the beach–we spend a lot of time in the water during the summer!!! We call her our little mermaid–so i would make a lot of cards and scrapbook layouts if i had “lifes a beach” –i love the mermaids-the fish-the flowers–i love everything on the cartridge!!! thanks for the opportunity to win this awesome cartridge!!!
This is a great cartridge. I work in a daycare center and decorate the bulletin board each month in my classroom. I always make something that I can put the childs name on it (in May they were each flowers, April they were Easter Eggs). Doing a beach scene on the board would be wonderful. And there are so many possibilities for making something for each child’s name. This cartridge could do more then one month even! Beach scene and Aquatic scene. Even using Life’s a Beach! title would be great. The possibilities are endless!
there is a mermaid on this cartridge…i have turquoise fabric that glistens…and it would make a great tail and fin ..to go with my fish bathroom theme…also all the beach themed things would do well on my summer party invitations.
Our family tradition is to spend Christmas and New Years at the beach. The sb pages are different than normal beach pages because of the winter season and holidays. I’d love to combine holiday cricut with the Life’s a Beach cricut to make some new and unique winter beach pages.
i will make a lighthouse stencil and decorate my sparetire cover i think there are lots of good things on it to use.
I was intrigued by many of the designs available but particularily fascinated by the FLAMINGOS….I’ve used the FLAMINGO as my personal logo in many items through the years and would LOVE to add this cartridge to my collection.
There are so many items on this cart (starfish, sharks, dolphins and many more)that we saw when we went to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago so I would use it to finally finish the layouts of the many pictures we took there that day.
Hello! I would LOVE to win this cartridge! I have 4 small children and we will be hitting the beach a bunch this summer. We also have a nautical theme throughout our home, so I could use it for home decor also. My mom and mother in law both go on many vacations and cruises and I am the one that makes their scrapbooks, so I am sure I that this cartridge would come in handy for that! Thanks so much.
~Heather
I will be visiting Maine this summer. To see my 2 new greatgrand children.
We will be in York Beach ME.
What a fun loving way to share our memories than with a whole scrapbook with a beach theme. Sand castles, mermsaids,turtles,etc.
Thanks for sharing this
We will be heading to Florida in August with our one year old. We will head to the beach and build sand castles. I would use the sand castle image on sandpaper for our scrapbook page about the beach. I will probably also add some turtles and fish to the page as well.
I am fairly new to cricut, just got my expression in Jan. of this year. I am having so much fun using the cartriges that I have on grandchildrens layouts. I have many pictures of beach, boating pictures, that would be perfect for this cartridge, The shells and Octipus in paticular are so very cute. Having so much fun with Cricut since I am retired. Thanks for the oportunity to win it!!!!
This cartridge looks amazingly fun! I can’t wait to liven up my kids projects and classroom with it. It would work wonders for my scrapbooks of us at the beaches in Florida and Michigan. I am so excited to see all that I can do. Not to mention making fun invites to beach parties this Summer! And just fun “Thinking of you” Summer cards. And now that I am thinking, a Mermaid themed birthday party would be amzing!
Wow, I can’t wait.
I would use this wonderful cartridge to make a lay out for my mother who recently went on a trip to San Diego California. It has so many different options.
I would use this cartridge on scrpabook pages with my two favorite subjects…My grandson Parker and granddaughter Megan…Any summer pages would look great with this!
Oh my Gosh!!! I have been wanting this cartridge for awhile now and to get it would be awesome!!! I just celebrated my 25th anniversary and was fortunate to be able to go to Hawaii for the first time, so this cartridge would be perfect!! I’ve been waiting for something to help me decorate scrapbook pages for the pictures I took! I shall keep my fingers crossed.
I would love to have the “life is a Beach” cartridge. I would use it to make all the decorations and party favors at my annual luau party. I would make table decorations of crabs, flowers, sharks and all the frills. I would even make the invites. Of course after the party is over I would have to send photos to everyone sharing the good times – another card!.
So Aloha from
Pat
I am taking my daughter to the beach for the first time in June. This cartridge would be perfect to scrapbook our vacation to Panama City, FL.

I have so much fun with my cartridges.
I want the Life is a beach because it has cute items that I am unable to cut out. I love this new cartridge! It’s a must have! Thanks and have a great day!…Cheryl
I can’t wait to use this cartridge! My first project will be to make die cuts for a book I am doing on a recent trip to Bermuda. However, the real reason I am excited to get this one is that my daughter does competitive swimming. This cartridge has so many great designs–I plan on using tons of them to make a book to hold all of her swimming ribbons.
I have two great ideas to use this cartridge for. I could make appliques out of the diff sayings such as “relax” and iron them on and whip stitch them onto a beach towel and give them away as gifts or do a glass etching on a cute glass that might good for summer time drinks and glass etch the diff. sayings such as “ReLax” and give them away as party thank yous if you have a party or even as a hostess give if you go to a summer time BBQ! Can’t wait to play w/this one!
We had a cabin at the lake for several years and did some traveling to FL so this cartridge would be a good one to have to scrap those type pages. Thanks for offering this cartridge.
I would use the cart to make gifts for a friend. She is having a baby in July and her theme for the shower and baby’s room is ocean. This cart has so many great shapes to use. I can’t wait for the baby…the possibilities are endless.
We have a new church plant in my hometown. I will use this cartridge to teach crafts to the school-aged children who are attending our church. This will be a wonderful tool to teach them about God’s “beachy” creations while also teaching them the fun of crafting!
I love the cricut cartridges in my preschool to make signs and games for the children, also to make cards to send friends and family and of course to use to scrapbook my vacation photos
I have 3 grandbabies, one of whom gets to travel to “the shore” (in the midwest we call it the beach) a lot and we live near a lake with a sandy beach so I would have a blast scrapbooking all those pics with this cartridge. In addition, our toddler sunday school room at church is done in a beach theme so it would be fun to use for special projects and announcements in there. Birthday party decorations for our summer birthdays would be just one more thing I would use it for. Love this cartridge.
I live in South Florida, so life “is” a beach! I have too many ideas to list. From great scrap booking pages of beach parties, cursing, and local events, to decorating rooms and clothing. I need this cartridge!!!
I love this cartridge. Has been on my wish list for a long time. Am currently scrapbooking 3 trips to Florida, 2 cruises & 2 trips to Hawaii. Really would love to have this cartridge for these scrapbooks. Thanks for giving us a chance to win. Love your site.
Life is a Beach would be the perfect way to introduce the Ocean in Motion learning units to our preschoolers in summer camp. This Cricut cartridge would be a great tool for both vocabulary development and creative art experiences. I certainly would love to win this product to use in my classrooms (and, of course, at home too.)
7 of my grandchildren live in Florida. I cherish the pics I get from them. I love to fill scrapbooks with memories of them growing. This cartridge would be wonderful. I miss them so much
My daughter wants to be a marine biologist and wants her bedroom to reflect marine life. This cartridge has all the designs I need to create stencils or cut outs to create the bottom of the ocean look that she is going for in her room. Down the road I can do a luau theme for her graduation party. Of course, I’ll use it for scrapbooking our time in Guam too.
Life’s a Beach is a wonderful cartridge. We live on the Maryland eastern shore where most every aspect of life is centered around water. There would be many projects for me to use this cartridge. The main project would be to make fun placements for my family, as well as gifts for friends. Using the different designs (the crab would be first used) could be cut from fun red/orange calico fabrics. Then appliqued on quilted fabric cut into large ovals. Sew a little bit of binding around the edge to complete it. My sister-in-law has a lighthouse obsession, and making her homemade lighthouse placemats would really be something special I could do for her.
This is a great summer time cartridge for anybody who enjoys the beach.
I would use this cartridge on my grandaughter’s album that I’m currently working on of the pics her and her DH took while he was stationed in Hawaii[US Army].
my life is the beach since I was a little girl and now my son, now 37 and his family and of course grandma are always on the road to the beach. Just started up with cricut expression and love it. Expensive to collect all those fantastic cartridges and so would love a free one.
Living close to the Oregon coast makes this cartridge a must have and I get to go to Florida for the first time in June. Other uses: youth and children’s ministries, and making it available to our scrapbook group that meets once a month.What a wonderful giveaway since I just got a cricut this week!
For my parents 25 wedding anniversary we took them on a cruise and suprised them by having them renew their wedding vows. What a perfect cartridge to create an album to display the memories of there vow renewal and tropical vacation.
I have lots of beach trips to scrap and a trip to Hawaii. I can see a couple of projects for someone who loves dolphins and another using the lighthouse.
I would love to use this to make coordinating flowers to embellish the BoBunny Maui Luau paper I just bought.
I googled “Cricut” this evening and came upon this wonderful opportunity to win the “Life’s a Beach” cartridge! This theme is long overdue and very timely! I would like to use this with my students (4th graders!) as well as in my home! I have recently started a beach theme in my bathroom and this is so perfect to embellish everything from frames to a shower curtain! I would like to do some of the images on the vinyl and frame the mirror that is currently very large and outdated! We live in SW Florida approx. 10 miles from the nearest beach! Sadly, many of my students rarely get to go to the beach so these images will be very exciting to them! Keep up the great designing, Cricut!! Thank you for this opportunity!
Being new to the Cricut, mine just came this week; I am excited to expand my crafting using this form of media. The value of the cartridge is the range of summer fun activities that the collection represents.
I take Saturday or Sunday mornings each week to give my wife a break to sleep in from our 2 ½ year old Girl as Daddy Morning. Given this we usually do a craft together. I especially like the Jolly Jogger (Skull and cross bones) because we recognize this and many other Icons on this cartridge from the tales of the Backyardigans. All I can say is we would both appreciate the cartridge and the time spent together using it.
Thanks,
Joe
The Life’s a Beach cartridge showcases the diversity of sealife with delightful and elegant images. These images are so appealing in their calm playfulness that I feel, as a kindergraten teacher, that they are a perfect bridge for helping me to introduce my young students to a sophisticated concept, the history of life. I plan on using it to create a timeline of the development of life through the geological eras by presenting the images of Life’s a Beach in chronological order. The youngsters will undoubtedly be attracted to the timeline by the beautiful images, and this will help them internalize the lesson–life is beautiful (and so is it’s history:))!
I would use Life’s a Beach to document my childhood (I grew up in Morro Bay, CA), for summer birthday cards, for Ocean based ABC flashcards for my kindergartener, and to accent the summer months on the calendars that I make every year for our families of our passed year who live in the States (we are military and are unable to see them often….this is one of the ways we stay in their lives). I just think that it is an adorable, flexible cartridge that would get a lot of use!
First of all, I live in South Florida and have aquired a taste for all things tropical: flamingos, flip-flops, and hibiscus. I also went on a honeymoon to Puerto Rico two years ago and I have yet to scrapbook it. I have the album with a tropical floral pattern and a few stickers. This would really work well with that particular scrapbook…I’m sure using the catridge would be so much fun. I could also see using it for future summer parties…..and cards to brighten any one’s day.
If I had the Life’s a Beach cart I could make all the wonderful scenes we see while there and make cards to share with everyone. It would surely be a welcome addition to my Cricut family!
I would use life’s a beach cartridge to document our many adventures in the pool in the summer as well as our vacations to the beach in a scrapbook.
I am new to cricut and I love it! It is so easy to use and I have so much fun the time just flies by. I only have one cartridge right now but I am hoping to get them all!
I would use this cartridge to help inspire me to work on my cruise scrapbook.
Would love to do scrapbook pages about time spent on the beach, (my husband works summers supervising lifeguards at an ocean beach)…I used to live in an apartment building on the beach, and I would also be able to use it for teaching materials, as I am an educator.
This cartridge is all about where I live–the beautiful Gulf Coast of Florida in the panhandle. I can’t wait to bring this cartridge to life in my own books with scenes of birthday parties, school days, and other fun-filled beach outings!
I would use this cart for an upcoming charity event that my women’s group is sponsoring this September. Our theme is tropical.
This cartridge looks great!! I am going on my first trip to Hawaii in March and this would be great for scrapbooking those special memories when I get home. Also, I’m from Detroit (Hockeytown) and the Red Wings are known for throwing an octopus on the ice….so the little octopus would be GREAT to scrapbook the wings drive for the Stanley Cup this year!!!
I am planning a trip to Hawaii and I would love to use the Life is a Beach Cricut Cartridge to scrapbook my trip!
I’m looking for a cartridge with a fish for my sons 4th bday invite. I need to have this done before the new baby comes…in 35 days! YIKES
Looks like this is a good one!
I am an avid scrapbooker! My grandchildren love the beach and go often to Padre Island and Port Aransas with my daughter and son-in-law. I get the photos from the trips and scapbook them for my daughter. This would make the pages easier for me to create.
I would love to win the Life’s a Beach cartridge to scrapbook my upcoming 30th Birthday Cruise! I want to make all of my friends’ luggage tags and decorations for their cabin doors and this cartridge is perfect! Thank you cards, scrapbook pages and picture frames will come next. So many cute shapes!! If I can’t win the cartridge, maybe I will get one for my birthday…I better send a link to mom, hahaha.
Just got my CRICUT and I LOVE it! I’m having so much fun—even ventured into the glass etching!
My Mom and I went on a cruise 3 years ago and I still haven’t done the scrapbook for it yet! This cartridge would be FANTASTIC to use with the pictures from the cruise.Having just pjurchased my CRICUT, I am always looking for new cartridges!
If anyone could tell me how to cut a 12″ long border with my Cricut Expression I’d REALLY appreciate it! I’ve been working at it on and off for a couple of days and just can’t figure it out!
Would use to cut out shapes for my scrapbook of pictures from my cruise and also cut out vinyl for my sister’s Margaritaville theme in her back yard by her pool and tiki bar
I have used many of the cutouts to create this great page that has sea shells, sand castles and kids playing on the beach with beach balls.
I would love to win the Life is a Beach cartridge because I am getting married next year and was trying to cut costs by creating a beautiful invitations on my own. I have borrowed a machine and really wanted all the relatives in New York and New Jersey to excited about coming when they open it up and see my beautiful Florida invitations.
I just am starting out on my new cricut and LOVE i!. Would love this cartridge because we just moved to north carolina and are at the beach A LOT during the summer so there will be lots of beach scrapbook pages to be made!!!!
I eat, sleep and breathe scrapbooking I would love to add Life’s a beach cartridge to my collection. I have 100’s of pictures of my kids on the beach, swimming in the pool and enjoying the great weather. Please consider me
Thanks for the comment! the contest is over though
I would love to win this cartridge.. Im just starting out and my first project is going to be my daughters pool party and i would love to have it
