Today Is The Best Day

Ombre Paper And Tropical Vibes

Hi everyone! Summer is winding down here in California (although it feels hotter than ever!) and I’m bringing you a very summer themed page this week. These photos were taken with my husband in Laguna Beach a couple of years ago. I love the big floppy beach hat and clear water in these photos.

I started with some green and pink ombre paper from The Paper Studio’s Be a-Hue-Tiful stack. This paper gives me some serious summery vibes and reminds me of watermelon! I used some basic white cardstock to provide some contrast and used some leftover paper scraps to mat my photos. Some double-sided paper from Echo Park’s Creative Agenda 6 X 6 stack matched the colors on my page. I used both the white side with colorful plus signs and the navy side with teal arrows. My Marvy Uchida lever punch made punching out tags quick and easy.

I had ordered a pack of random stickers made for laptops, skateboards, etc off Amazon a while back. Within it was the giant watermelon slice sticker which works so perfectly on this page! I used some stickers from the Stick-A-Bilities Beach Bum collection as well as some little cocktail stickers by Jolee’s Boutique and some sunglasses stickers from La Petites Watercolor Fun dimensional stickers. I also used some vibrant stickers including the one used as the title from The Happy Planner’s Memory Planning and Rainbow sticker books.

This page was created for the Sketch-N-Scrap August challenge. I love this cute layout and its use of tags. I stayed pretty true to the sketch except for moving my title and swapping out the butterflies for lots of beach-themed embellishments.

This page was also made for the Color, Stories, Inspiration August challenge that definitely epitomizes summer.
