SUMMER FUN - SUMMER TIME LAYOUT | with Tarrah

If you're anything like me, summer is all about sunshine, laughter, and making sweet memories — and the Summer Fun collection perfectly captures that sunny spirit in every sticker, paper, and embellishment.

For this layout, I documented a fun beach day with my Mum at Jimmy’s Beach in NSW, Australia. The colorful striped background immediately set the tone for a playful and vibrant vibe — and how perfect are those colors?! Pink, orange, yellow, green, blue... it's like a rainbow exploded in the best way possible!

I added a scalloped border strip from the This and That sticker sheet across the top for a little extra dimension and tucked in some fun elements like a mini parrot Doodle Pop sticker, hearts from the Sam & Sally Seahorse Doodle-Pop, and the cutest little 'Vitamin Sea' sentiment from the Chit Chat die-cuts pack. Doodlebug never disappoints when it comes to adorable details!!

I layered up lots of the coordinating die cuts and stickers from the Odds and Ends and Chit Chat packs — tropical leaves, a rainbow umbrella, beach ball, and of course, that sweet 'Summer Time' title cluster.

At the bottom of the layout, I included a journaling spot labeled 'MEMORIES' from the Bits and Pieces pack to record the location and date of our beach trip. A cute pink flamingo Doodle-Pop and floral accents also from the Bits and Pieces pack helped tie it all together and frame the story.

And let’s not forget that photo! It’s always the centerpiece — and the happy faces in it remind me exactly why I scrapbook.
