Step 1: Use the teal patterned paper as the base for this layout.
Step 2: Cut a piece of paper from the gray floral patterned paper to measure 12″ x 2-1/4″. Adhere along the bottom edge of the layout.

Step 3: Cut a piece from the blue patterned paper to measure 6-1/2″ x 8″. Adhere a 6″ x 4″ photo on the bottom portion of this mat. Cut a piece from the light blue patterned paper to measure 6-1/2″ x 3-1/2″. Adhere to the top portion of this mat. Use the Everyday Journal Template and Dot Pens to create a “sun” on this piece.
Step 4: Cut two mats from the blue patterned paper to measure 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ and 4″ x 4-1/2″. Adhere photos that measure 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ and 3-1/2″ x 4″ to the mats. Adhere all mats to the layout.
Step 5: Using the Everyday Journal Template, trace the large journal strips onto white paper, then cut them out using scissors. Journal in the strips and adhere them to the layout. Add decorative dots using the Dot Pens.

Step 6: Dot along the edges of the paper and photos as desired.
