how about a summer layout share today? this is a recent layout, that i created just a few weeks ago. the photos of sarah are from last summer. oddly enough, the girls havn't gone swimming all that much this summer.

"just workin on her tan". just like the journaling says, she honestly doesn't HAVE to work on her tan. lol! sarah is our chocolate brown girl. she gets SO dark in the summer, it's kind of crazy. just like her dad, she's got the puerto rican blood in her, and they have a super easy time getting that dark skin. she's a huge fish too. she could live in the pool, if grammy and papa would let her.

for my title letters, i dug out some really old raw chipboard letters from making memories, and painted  them with brown acrylic paint. i adhered them to my layout, using mini pop dots. i also used some letter stickers from bella blvd, to mix in for my title.

i had the green cardstock half circle on the page already, but felt like it needed a little something more to make it stand out. so i took out some paper flowers in coordinating colors, cut them in half, and adhered them going around the circle. they are tucked under the circle just a teeny tiny bit. then i added a matching jewel to each flower. btw, the papers are all from the all inclusive collection, from bella blvd.

the blue tag is an older one i had laying around. i just measured it, and typed up my journaling to fit in the same general size and shape. after i printed my journaling on white cardstock, i cut it into the same tag shape. tied a few small pieces of ribbon to the tags, and added a simple sticker to the blue one. overall, a very quick and easy layout 🙂

    I really like this laura, the colors and the half circle idea is my favorite. The title is perfect and gives me an idea for my kids too. They also have their father’s great skin tone and I’m always the white one in the family. I get amazed every summer at how dark they can get. Lucky bums,lol

    Lovely layout Laura, love how the title is inside of the half circle…CHA looks like fun and a lot of work, I have never been, can the public go or do you have to be on a design team and work in the industry to attend? I am grateful to people like you that can post pics of the show so that all of us at home can see, the booth looks amazing, must be lots of fun to be there 🙂
