🌴 Create a Personalized Summer Bucket List in Canva (Free Template!)

Hey sunshine! ☀️

You know that dreamy, wide-open feeling summer brings? The one that whispers, “Let’s go make some memories?” Well, I’ve got the perfect way to turn that feeling into something fun, tangible, and totally you.

This summer, instead of letting the days fly by in a blur of sunscreen and snack wrappers, let’s be intentional. Let’s plan adventures, savor the simple joys, and capture the moments that really matter.

How? With a personalized summer bucket list you design in Canva. 🎨✨

It’s cute, creative, easy to make (even if you’re not “techy”), and fun for the whole family—or just for you, if you’re all about that solo summer sparkle.

Ready to get started? Bonus: there’s a free template waiting for you, too!

💡 Why Make a Summer Bucket List?

Whether you’re a journaler, scrapbooker, planner enthusiast, or memory maker at heart, a summer bucket list helps you:

• Dream big and plan practically

• Create beautiful, intentional memories

• Have something to look forward to on those “I’m bored” days

• Stay off your phone and into your life more

• Look back and smile at everything you actually did

Plus… designing one is half the fun! 🎉
