Happy Summer, y’all! We’re one week into the “official” summer
season and I am loving it. Everyone is
enjoying the sunny (and longer!) days.
And most everyone is headed out on vacation or has something planned. Smiles and good moods everywhere you
look.
I’ve been working on some photos from
this year of events and fun with family and friends – mostly birthdays and
dinners. The layout I’m featuring today
is from a fun Saturday when two of my best girlfriends came to Atlanta and we
all went out to lunch and then to see the matinee performance of The Lion
King. We’d all seen it before and loved
it, but my husband hadn’t. He now loves
it, too!
To highlight the fun of the day, I
settled on a new kit I had with a cameras and photos theme. The papers are very busy, but I decided to go
for it. Normally, I use photo matting to
help the photos stand out, but I wanted to see if I could do something
different (for me!).
I did two things. First, I only used two of the sheets of
patterned paper and a single piece of cardstock. And breaking up the title seemed to be the
real key, for a variety of reasons: 1)
it helps define the photos visually – to help see where the photos start and
end, 2) it moves your eye down the page to guide you around the photos, and 3)
it really reinforces the theme of the photos by describing the photos
themselves.

I hope you have a wonderful summer and
“get busy” scrapping all the fun of this wonderful time of the year!
