Doodlebug Anchors Aweigh Summer Little Fish Layout

Hello there!  I hope you're having a fabulous week.  The Doodlebug team paired up with PageMaps earlier this month so I thought I would pop in with another summer layout using a PageMaps Sketch as inspiration (shared below).

For this layout I turned to my favorite Achors Aweigh collection by Doodlebug.  It was a perfect compliment to some fun photos I had been holding onto from a couple summers ago and I love that I was able to take what might be considered a "boy" themed collection and make it work for a layout all about girls.

I created a graphic feel to my title by evenly spacing all my letters and distinguishing the two words with a change in color.  I was able to continue that look with a simple journaling block that had the corners rounded on one side and bled off the edge.


I completed my visual triangle with three embellished circles, varying the size to keep things interesting.  I don't know about you, but I can't help but smile back at those fish and whale doodle pops.

Here's a look at the original sketch that inspired my page.  I made some minor alterations by rotating the journaling onto its side and slightly playing with size and position of the three embellishments to work with my photos.  I love how sketches allow me to have a plan in place to make the most of my scrapbooking time (which sadly is very limited these days).

I hope I've inspired you to print out some of your favorite summer photos and document them this month.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  :)
