No more snow! We want SUMMER!

Been too busy lately BUYING to actually do a scrapbook page...thinking about doing a little creating tonight though. From a past photo session I pulled this page - a classic. I love the design - so simple, so easy, so fun.

You could really create a page similar to this one but with more photos, less photos, two pages, etc. I think it would make a super 2 page layout too...one page full of pictures and patterns (wall-to-wall with no white space) and then one page like the one above. But anyway, just wanted to share this to remind everyone that summer will come...eventually. Love those late summer afternoons and evenings - BBQ's, drinking with friends, enjoying a camp fire. Such good times.

***Laura's quick tip: Something I learned a LONG time ago - to add quick dimension and texture, just add a little ink! I buy those round yellow sponges (i.e. from Michael's art department) and cut them into wedges. Snap the lid shut on your ink pad and press in to create a small pool of ink in the lid. Flip it open and dab the sponge in it and rub/apply to page. Love this!

Supply Listing:
Paper - (white) Bazzill; (patterned) Mod by Autumn Leaves
Accents - ("BBQ" title) Sticker Studio; (ink) Archival Ink by Ranger; (date stamp) Stampin' Up; (pen) Slick Writer by American Crafts

P.S. Didn't realize until now there were NO embellishments on the page. Just punched circles and photo corners from the patterned paper. Seriously...how easy is that!
