Capturing Sunshine & Sweet Moments: Journaling with the Summer Fun Collection

There is something undeniably magical about sitting down with a fresh journal page, a cup of something iced and refreshing, and a sheet of stickers waiting to tell a story. This season, our Summer Fun collection has been an absolute joy to work with, bringing warmth, playfulness, and cozy memories to every page.

Here is a peek into how these sunny designs came to life across recent journal spreads!

Spread 1: Golden Sunflower Melodies

For this spread, the goal was to capture the warm, golden energy of late-summer afternoons. Pairing vintage sheet music with delicate sunflower illustrations created a lovely rustic harmony. Translucent vellum layers added an airy, sun-dappled depth, while our little onigiri character joined in the fun right under a miniature polaroid frame.

Spread 2: Coastal Breeze & Sweet Watermelon

Nothing says summer quite like cool beach umbrellas, sandy shores, and juicy slices of watermelon. This spread leans into pastel coastal tones with soft pinks and seafoam greens. The dimensional umbrella sticker pops right off the page, paired alongside calendar highlights and refreshing fruit motifs to document those sweet, lazy vacation days.

Spread 3: Cool Sips & Swimming Lessons

When the afternoon heat peaks, it’s all about cooling down with fizzy sodas, fresh mint leaves, and ice cubes clinking in a glass. This spread features our playful drink illustrations arranged over cool blue geometric patterns. Complete with a mini swimming lesson feature and charming floating wind chimes, it's a celebration of aquatic adventures and chilled treats.

I hope these spreads inspire you to dive into your stash, mix and match your favorite paper goods, and capture your own sunny memories this season. Happy journaling!
