Basking in a Summer Layout as the Days Get Cooler...

I'm already missing the lazy days of summer, as we are swept up in the day-to-day of the school year. So I'm bringing you a summer pool day layout, using the gold pieces from my July Take 10 Kit and some of the Citrus Bliss papers.

Yep, I did it, I used all that gold in a one-pager. And I love it. I admit that I usually only add a splash of sparkle to any one layout, but I spilled the whole bottle on this one. My 6-year-old daughter is proud.

I like looking at this page and remembering those warm days. But, I also am looking forward to fall hitting my town with all the gorgeous changing colors, pumpkin spice latte and fires in the fireplace.

Summer Fun! I'm bringing you another summer layout using the July Refresh Take 10 Kits.

That Top 10 Things about Family card is so unique and fun to fill out. I love it.

See what I did there? I liked how the word "love" in the stamp set this month went with this frame. And those yellow and green puffy hearts! Had to use them.

It is so awesome when you find another stamp that works well with a punch you have. Yay!

There is that "love" stamp again. I used it on this cute coordinated film strip slide (from the July Cut Apart Card) to highlight the date. Then, I went over the lettering and stamp with some glossy accents.

Thanks for stopping by.

Day at the Beach Pocket Page

July's "Refresh" Take 10 Kit and Glam Bag are chock full of goodies. I really had fun putting layouts together for this month. Her kits usually sell out on Day ONE, folks. You can see the kit before it goes live (Follow the Take 10 Kit Facebook Group). It is first come, first serve at 6PM EST on the 15th of the month. It is super reasonably priced and super cute, so they go fast. There are other goodies in her shop, too, so go check it out. And go to The Studio 29 Designs Blog for daily inspiration.

Today's post is a Day at the Beach with cousins. It was a slightly overcast day, which always makes for good photos. I really had to work to narrow down my selection for this layout. I knew I wanted to use the  "Cool Off" card, so that's where I started.  I cut down the  pink/blue "waves" from a 4x6 card. The yellow tied in well with the yellows in the photos. 

 

 

 

I love the overhead photo. It's a great active snapshot to get when a bunch of kids are playing on the ground together. The strip of paper is from the Refresh cut-apart.

 

 

 Love that pic of my oldest nephew. I framed it with a Crate Paper frame and embellished with some Pink Fresh puffy stickers.

 

 

New stamp set in the shop. Used the heart throughout and this heart label to record the date.

 

Go out and do something fun. Document it. Treasure it.
