Summer is all about the escape. Escaping the heat, escaping work and taking time to relax. It’s my favorite time of year. If you’re a kid, well, any time at all is good for a fun escape.
Last summer my two youngest boys and their partners in crime (their cousins), escaped a family reunion dinner on a hot day and found their way to a splash pad just outside. They were having a fabulous time running through it in their running shoes and good clothes. I had to smile as they were having the best time together but really, I wish they’d waited until AFTER the family reunion photos! This layout is a fun way to remember that day.
To say I was excited to play with the latest Up the Street Scrapbooking Kit would be an understatement. I was having so much fun I just couldn’t stop and ended up creating three layouts and a card all in one afternoon. Summer {Escape} is one of them and I’ll be sharing the other projects over then next week or so. The colors and prints in this kit are perfect for summer memories and summer card designs.
For this design, I’ve placed 4 3×3″ photos along the right side of the design and then placed all the fun accents and papers to the left of them. I’m totally addicted to white mists lately. My favorite so far is the Studio Calico Mr. Huey’s Calico White Mist. I picked mine up at Up the Street and I love how it mimics the splashes of water from the photos.
Stitching is a great way to add texture to die cut stickers and make them your own.
This summer we plan to escape to the lake as often as we can and hopefully, a short trip to Ottawa.
How do you plan to escape this summer?
Enjoy!
