Here's a more recent photo of me with my family. Lucky for us, there was a random woman walking down the beach who was willing to snap a few family photos of us. She did a good job, I must say. Thank you, random beach walker woman!
I hope you're enjoying your week so far. I know I am. And to think I was nervous about hosting this week...
I wanted to talk about summer holidays today. I know my Canadian friends just celebrated Canada Day and I know my French friends are getting ready to celebrate Bastille Day. I know there are tons of others but I'm just not that smart, y'all.
We'll start with a few layouts from Elizabeth Dillow:
Design tip: Love how Elizabeth used splashes or red on her layout. Keeps my eyes moving from one part of her page to the next. A nice visual triangle.
This layout was done for Ella Year in the Life book
Photo tip: Take lots of photos for things that only come around once a year because once they're over, it's over. You can never take too many photos. Ever.
Design tip: This is a great way of using lots of photos to capture an eventful day. Crop your photos to all the same size and a visual story will start to unfold.
Next up, we have a couple from Monika Wright:
Monika writes: I used the same patterned paper on these layouts, but a different version for my
son's album. The girls both have the same layout (I made two of the same layout)
in their own albums.
Great idea, Monika! There's no rule that says you can only use the same paper once and by creating the same layout for each of her girls, there's no question on whose album the layout will go into.
Journaling tip: Use your own handwriting can same time. I know this but my handwriting isn't as cute as Monika's so I tend to use my computer.
Here's one from me:
Another fast, simple layout from the photos I took this past Sunday. Oh, and here's the template if you're interested.

Digital papers are by Crystal Wilkerson
Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!
