Some memories just need a little extra sunshine. This layout brings the Chasing the Sun collection to life with the Sunlit Border Punch, layering colorful sun shapes into a bold, mosaic-inspired design. It’s a fun way to frame photos from sunny days, summer adventures and all the moments that deserve a little more time in the sun.

Step 1: Use a piece of Bright White Solid Cardstock for the base of the layout.

Step 2: Using a scrap piece of paper, trim it to measure 5-1/2″ x 12″.

Step 3: From a variety of designer papers, cut four strips to measure 1-3/8″ x 12″. Adhere the strips vertically to the scrap piece of paper.

Step 4: Using the Sunlit Border Punch, punch a border from each of the following cardstock colors: Plum, Pumpkin, Pink Razzleberry and Island Waters. Adhere the punched borders over the strips of paper, lining up the suns as shown.

Step 5: Using your 12-inch Trimmer, cut the piece diagonally from the upper-right corner to the lower-left corner. Then, adhere one half of the punched-border piece to the lower-right corner of the layout and the other half to the upper-left corner.

Step 6: Using the purple designer paper, cut three photo mats to measure 5-1/4″ x 3-1/4″. Adhere the mats to the layout as shown, then adhere photos that measure 5″ x 3″.

Step 7: Adhere stickers and embellishments as desired, using Foam Squares on some for added dimension.

Step 8: Journal as desired.
