Blogging Friends July Blog Hop

Well I here we are again for another blog hop.....I am back after taking a little break last month. In fact I have taken a longer break than I was planning. School is out and it's been so nice having some down time doing absolutely nothing for a change BUT I cannot believe we are already in JULY. How does the time go by so fast?!

This months theme is Summer Fun. My project today I am sharing some project life inspired pages using the Serene Scenery DSP from the new catalog. This month I was really struggling with what to do but then I thought about all my summer photos of my kids and since I am really trying hard to scrapbook more I thought this would be perfect. The photos I plan on putting in these pages are from a day at the lake. I can't wait to pick up the photos and see how they look...if you join my Facebook Group I will post an updated photo of the pages there so you can see how they look:) I am picking up the photos later today. 

Let's see what Leanne has going on this month.....

Make it Monday.

I finally got a traditional scrapbook page completed! It's paired up with a project life style page on the  other side. I am going to keep doing the traditional pages here and there mixed in with the project life style. This picture was the perfect for a single page to pair next to a project life page. This is Easton's birth announcement. Now I didn't permanently adhere this picture to the cardstock. This picture I have had on our refrigerator since I got them made after Easton was born. I have all 3 of the boys' birth announcements on the fridge. Don't ask me why I just do BUT I couldn't find all those extras of Easton's so this one is just one there temporary for now. There's are a few spots and scratches on the photo. 

Over the last month or so I have really been trying to do a little bit here and there and doing this one page has got me excited and wanting to do more. The boys are curious and come over to my little craft desk and ask...."Who is that?", "Where are my baby pictures?", and so on. They LOVE to look at the pictures and ask questions about them. I am very happy with the way this came out since it's my first "traditional" page in quite sometime.
