Summer Journal Ideas: How to Create Beautiful Beach, Travel, and Landscape Pages

Scenery Structure

First, when creating a landscape journal page, the scene is usually built with four key layers: the sky, the distant view, the foreground, and the ground.

These four parts help your journal spread feel complete and balanced. The sky sets the mood, the distant view creates depth, the foreground adds detail, and the ground helps connect all the scenery elements together. This simple structure is especially useful for landscape journaling, travel journal pages, scrapbook layouts, and washi tape scenery pages.

One thing that’s easy to forget when making a landscape page is perspective: the closer something is, the larger it should look; the farther away it is, the smaller it should feel.

When you’re building a landscape page, try to keep the distant view smaller and softer, so the foreground can feel closer and more natural. However, we often see influencers or journal lovers using large buildings as the background, while placing much smaller building stickers or scenery elements in the foreground. This can make the entire journal spread look messy, confusing, and unnatural.

If the background and foreground don’t feel like they belong in the same scene, the whole page can look a little off — even when every sticker or tape piece is beautiful on its own. A simple way to avoid this is to keep the closer elements bigger and more detailed, and let the distant scenery stay smaller and softer.

Once you understand these basic principles, we can start creating the landscape journal page.

With the right structure, perspective, and layering method, it becomes much easier to build a beautiful scenery spread using washi tape, PET tape, landscape stickers, and other journaling supplies.

How to choose landscape stickers or tape?

First, let’s start by choosing the sky tape.

For the sky area, it is usually better to use washi tape or PET tape instead of individual stickers. The sky covers a large area in a landscape journal page, and it is also the farthest layer in the whole scenery composition. Because of this, the sky should usually be placed as the bottom layer before adding other landscape stickers or decorative elements.

When creating a scenery journal spread, it is best to build the sky background first. You can choose a clear blue sky tape, soft cloud washi tape, warm sunset PET tape, or a gentle summer sky design, depending on the feeling you want for your page. Once the sky is finished, the rest of the scene becomes much easier to build — then you can add the distant view, the foreground, and the ground layer one by one.

Next, let’s talk about how to choose the distant view and foreground elements for your landscape journal page.

When you think of summer, what do you picture first? A quiet countryside field full of sunflowers, or a bright seaside day with blue water, sandy beaches, and warm sunlight?

For a summer journal page, two themes always feel especially fitting to me: a quiet countryside scene or a bright beach view. You can build your page around sunflower fields, little cottages, garden paths, ocean waves, seaside houses, boats, lighthouses, or coastal plants.

The key is to choose scenery stickers and PET tape designs that match the same summer mood, so your journal layout feels complete, warm, and natural.
