When a scrapbook collection is filled with colorful fish, sea creatures, and beachy vibes, turning it into a Finding Nemo-inspired layout is simply meant to be! Finding Nemo is one my all time favorite animated movies and when I started creating this page, I immediately knew that the bright colors and adorable ocean-themed icons in the Summer Fun Collection would be perfect for bringing the underwater adventure to life.
The focal point of the layout is a photo of the Finding Nemo movie cover, surrounded by a sea of cheerful embellishments that capture the fun and whimsy of the beloved film. The background is made up of the 2x Catch A Wave acetate sheets sewed together to create a shaker pocket, I added the fishies in and then sewed the top closed. I love how this created the perfect underwater setting, while the embossed wave texture mimics the movement of the ocean.
Since Finding Nemo takes place beneath the sea, I wanted the whole layout to feel like an underwater adventure. I did add a frame over the top of the acetate using the Polka Dot Bikini paper. The Summer Fun collection includes so many elements from the Bits & Pieces and Odds & Ends packs that fit perfectly with the movie's ocean theme. Schools of colorful fish swimming across the page instantly bring Nemo and his underwater friends to mind. The adorable sea turtle is a sweet nod to Crush and Squirt as they ride the East Australian Current, while the stingray reminds me of Mr. Ray, Nemo's enthusiastic schoolteacher. Even the jellyfish embellishment references one of the movie's most memorable scenes as Marlin and Dory make their way through a field of jellyfish.
To tie everything back to the film, I added a sentiment that says "Just Keep Swimming", one of Dory's most famous and beloved quotes. It's the perfect finishing touch and instantly connects all of the ocean-inspired elements to the movie. The bold orange title, "My Favourite Movie," using the Tangerine Alphabet Soup puffy stickers, helps draw attention to the movie poster while balancing the bright blues and aquas throughout the design.
I love how easy it is to adapt themed collections to document favorite movies, books, and family traditions. The Summer Fun collection may have been designed with beach days and vacations in mind, but its adorable sea-life icons make it a perfect choice for celebrating the underwater world of Finding Nemo.
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope this layout inspires you to look at your stash in new ways and use themed products to document the movies, characters, and stories that bring joy to your life. Happy crafting!
