Summer Fun Scrapbook Page {My Mind's Eye}

Hello friends!

This page was in the August edition of the My Mind's Eye Newsletter. This photo of Macie was taken at a waterpark. We were invited for a day of fun with friends staying at nearby resort! Lots of laughs as you can see, and splashes, too!

My assignment for this edition was to create a summer page, and I turned to the Stella Rose Collection. The stripe patterned paper has been used several times by me, and reminds me of a rainbow. I thought it was perfect paired with the polka dot paper for a page all about summer fun.

I never know how to use bold ric rac ribbon, but simply using it as a fun border seems perfect to me. Here it anchors my circle elements, along with my journaling block. I love the tiny clips from Tim Holtz so much, that recently bought two more packages to have in my stash.

Here you can see a little bit of the added layers on the flower embellishment. My embossing folders are never far away, and I never get tired of the Swiss Dots Folder.

A closer look at the sun with a simple chipboard banner, and another metal clip. Seeing this page, reminds me that summer is drawing to a close. We have been so busy with the move, football, cheer, and soccer practice. I will admit, I do get tired, but being able to see my children enjoy what they do, makes it all worthwhile. Well, except seeing my son run at football practice! Bless his heart, he simply does not like to run. Each time the running drills begin, my heart aches for him. I always nudge my way close to him, to remind him, he does not have to be the fastest! lol

Okay, time to call it a night! Tomorrow is quiet day, and I hope to awake at an early hour. (maybe not before 8am) I do have another mini album to share with you soon, and a simple project for back to school. I have also been fortunate to have an extra Gypsy in my possession, and think it would be great to share it with one of you! So there just might be a giveaway soon. Stay tuned!
