I love using circles on my pages but sometimes I just can't be bothered to cut them out. When that happens, I turn to a patterned paper with a circular theme, as I did with this layout. As you can see, the circles are a major feature of my page, and yet I didn't have to do any of the hard work of creating them myself.

This layout was created using Three Bugs In A Rug Wipe Out Cabana Paper, Scenic Route North Shore Barrel Navy Paper, Scenic Route North Shore Beach Break Paper, Chatterbox Scarlet Rec Daisy Paper, white cardstock, blue ink and a selection of small stickers relating to your theme.

Use the Three Bugs In A Rug Wipe Out Cabana Paper as your background. Lightly ink the edges with blue ink and set aside to dry.

Cut a piece of Chatterbox Scarlet Rec Daisy Paper measuring approximately 9cm by 9cm. Ink the edges with blue ink. When dry, adhere in the top left corner of your page approximately 2cm from the top edge and 2cm from the left edge.

Cut a piece of Scenic Route North Shore Barrel Navy Paper measuring approximately 8cm by 7cm. Ink the edges with blue ink. When dry, adhere approximately 10.5cm from the top edge and 2.5cm from the left edge. It will slightly overlap your Daisy paper.

Cut a piece of the underside of the Scenic Route North Shore Barrel Navy Paper measuring approximately 7cm by 15cm. Ink the edges with blue ink. When dry, adhere approximately 2.5cm from the top edge and 7cm from the right edge.

Cut a piece of Scenic Route North Shore Beach Break Paper measuring approximately 8cm by 16.5cm. Ink the edges with blue ink. When dry, adhere approximately 1.5cm from the top edge and 9.5cm from the left edge.

Mat a 5x7 photo with white ink and adhere in the middle of your layers patterned paper.

Finally, decorate the circles across the bottom of your page with small stickers to match your theme.
