Camilla, Valerie, and Erin use the August Kit, "A Vintage Summer"

The weekend is finally here!  I don't know about you, but I really need a few days off.   Today we have layouts from three of our designers using the beautiful August kit featuring paper from Maja Designs.  

*****************************

"My Pride and Joy" by Camilla Ekman

 My children are my pride and joy. They simply fulfill my life and make me happy. 
I wanted to create a layout in a soft romantic style to capture this feeling. 
I went for the brown/grey/blue tones in the August kit. 
With the photo in the centre, I built my page in layers.

"Love You 2" by Valerie Serfozo

When I saw this beautiful frame from Dusty Attic in the Embellishment Add-on
I wanted to make a 9-photo collage.  The softness to the colors in this paper make is so easy to for layouts to come together.

A Mother" by Erin Blegen

I loved this quote and knew I wanted to use it for sure! I've scrapped this photo before, but when searching for some photos of myself with the kids, I realized that I spend almost all of my time BEHIND the camera and have very few :(. Something I will need to remedy!

Share a Moment with Leslie

Hi everyone.  This time around we have a layout created by Leslie using the beautiful August Kit with paper from Maja Designs.  

 This is my daughter in a hat that we covered with all those older Prima flowers from the milk bottles!  She went to a tea party and had to wear a fancy hat.  
They were having a contest on who had the best design and she won!
