cameras. scrap. albums. Oh My...

So, if you didn't realize how thankful I am for summer break, you soon will understand WHY. The day trips with the kids, the late wake ups, the freedom to pick and choose as we like is all a part of why summers help this family to reload, relax and unwind. With that in mind, I finally sat back down at my scrap table for the first time in months. With a pile of pictures just waiting to find a home, I was able to take some colors and glue and piece them all together. Here are my most recent efforts:I also got the chance to take pictures of my Mexico notebook:
Sorry for the glare...I was still working in P&S mode when I snapped these. I love the idea of having this book all together! Every single receipt and ticket, and document that we picked up along the way is included. I stitched them all inside so that they could be flipped, turned, and handled with out bringing damage to anything over the years.

I also got my hands on a new "camera" in Mexico...
Isn't it just kitchy cute? Made from a Diet Coke can...it actually WORKS...
...well it makes you smile, no doubt!!
It's a part of the collection now.

We are off to enjoy the heat, the food, and AWESOME friends (Of course, more pictures to COME!!)

You have lots of great layouts here. Favorite I think is the life in a box. Sounds like you're having a great summer.
