Supplies used:
Supplies used:
Main Kit:

- White cardstock
Extras Shop:
- Amy Tangerine Foam Phrase and Icon Thickers
Own Stash:
- Circular cut file.
- Puffy sticker.
- Puffy sticker.
For this layout I wanted to focus on using several patterns on one layout. I searched for a summery photo and found this selfie taken on a recent trip to Brighton.
I remembered I had this pre-cut circular cut file in my stash from years ago, and I thought the bubble/ circular pattern would be perfect for a summery beach layout.
I backed it with the 2 Amy Tangerine papers, both the A and B sides, trying to evenly distribute the patterns across the layout. At first I thought it might be too busy, but actually I think they all work perfectly together!
I used a foam phrase thicker from the Extras shop for my title, which draws in all the colours of the papers. And I added a small co-ordinating puffy sticker from my stash.
I then thought about my journalling. I initially was going to add typed journalling strips on white cardstock, to two of the circles, but after trialling it, I felt it made the page far too busy. So I decided to use a technique that I've done before, which is journalling around the edge.
I used a grey Graphik line maker pen with a width of 0.1mm, which Shimelle recommended once as the best grey pen. I think it's perfect for adding a lot of journalling to a layout, but without the need for heavy black ink.
After doing my journalling I thought about adding more embellishments, but I decided I actually really liked the layout as it was. The cut file and papers are so busy that extra embellishments really aren't needed.

I hope this layout has inspired you to use up your patterned papers!
