It's the last day of July! Can you believe it?! In honor of this monumental day (there are, after all, only 12 last-days-of-the-month all year!), we thought it would be fun to spotlight some of the fabulous layouts that have found their way into our gallery during the month of July. When I signed up to take on today's blog post, I thought this would be an easy and fun blog, but narrowing the field down to only a handful of layouts was no easy task at all! This gallery is full - FULL - of amazing talent!My first pick is by rekneipp. I just love the flow of this layout from corner to corner, top to bottom. It's just cram packed full of light-hearted freestyle fun that makes scrapbooking such a great outlet. And there is no denying that his shadow work here is amazing!

Journal Pad: Oh Life
Ah Summer ...I don't know about you but I don't find summer relaxing at all. My children get up at 6:30am every day. It does not matter what day of the week it is or whether they have school or not. The weather is HOT here in California. Hot weather makes me feel like a slug. I would love to find some shade and curl up with a book and move as little as possible. However most of my days are spent lugging heavy bags of snacks, wet towels, sand toys, suntan lotion, and other necessities from park to park in my vicinity. I do this because it is more bearable than refereeing the fights that occur at home if I try to tend to my summer slug-like ways. I'm usually a hot tired sweaty mess at the end of the day.

Here's what Julie gave us to work with this month:Hello, happy scrappers! I can't believe we're already into JULY! Crazy how time flies! I'm here with July's formula challenge, and I'm afraid I'm not going to be horribly original or creative - it's all going to be about 4! So, for this challenge, you need to have - 4 papers - 4 frames - 4 ribbons - 4 buttons or brads - 4 flowers, hearts OR stars (all four have to be the same thing - just trying to keep both boy and girl scrappers happy ) You can have whatever other things you want, but you need to have at least the above list on … [Read more...]
