Winding down...

The summer is just about at an end for me, and what a wonderful summer it's been. People ask me if it went too fast, and I say no, I savored every second. I lived it, and I loved it.

Here were some last layouts from Big Idea Festival. One I'm still working on and will post when done.

This was from a page design by Karen Grunberg. I used some of my monsters for it. My favorite part was using the little cards.


Some old pictures of me (I'm on the right in both pictures, braces, perm and all). I got the idea for this layout from Lisa Day's summers past layout--and from the leftover October Afternoon flash card that is not making it into my summer mini-album. Still not sure if I should have stitched and stamped? It's what I do, though, so I did.

ETA: Here's one I finished up.My first digi LO. Be nice to me! I tried to do the same kind of layering I like to do with paper. Grungy brushes, scroll flourishes, and floral flourishes too. Note to self: I need to install fonts.

Enjoy the last couple weeks of summer, and I hope you have a perfect summer day wherever you are--a little warm, not too humid, a light breeze, and an expanse of blue above your head. That's what it's like here in Maple Grove right now.
