August Treasured Memories Kit

I got to make the kit of the month for Treasured Memories for August!

Easy Livin' is full of navajo prints, gold, kraft, black and white and a punch of colour. Perfect for your summer photos. 

And, I gotta say, this kit is good! Of course, it's made to suit my tastes, but I think you'll like it too. 

I made eleven layouts with the kit and had lots of goodies leftover to play with.

Here's a little sneak peak at some of my projects:

 I know they sell out quick at the store, so if you're interested, call and have one set aside or get in there to grab one for yourself. 

Watch the TM blog and check back here to see more throughout the month. 

Summer Time...

And the livin' is easy. 

We're all enjoying the heat this summer. 

In the backyard, at the playground, or on vacation, we've been finding sunshine and fun. 

July's been great. Can't wait for August!

Even Bailey's enjoying the sun (from the shade).

Post-Run Play

After a run in the river valley, the kids and I like to head to the park at Kinsmen. 

My monkeys like to climb the rocks and logs and whatever else they can find a finger grip on. 

Pretty strong!

Plus, the old, super long slides are still there.

There are ropes, swings, and everything you could need for a perfect park visit.

Have I mentioned I love summer??

Running Buddies

These girls keep me on my toes! There is nothing better than going for a run in the river valley in Edmonton with a group of ladies as fun as these. 

The lovely lady in front, Danielle, planned a special run for her birthday on this day. We were missing two from the group in this pic, but took one while we could.

Loving the sunshine!

Farm Layouts

I just love these pictures from the farm at Easter. The kids enjoyed the baby calves so much. 

I made one 12x12 page and another pocket page to share a few extra pictures. 

Thanks to Jacqueline for the super cute wood veneer animals. They were perfect for my layout!

Beat the Heat Inside

We've been spending a lot of time outside, but it's so hot and beautiful  that we have to come inside sometimes and cool down.

Gracie's been spending lots of time with her lego lately. Creating sets for her imaginative stories and games. 

Princesses, My Little Ponies, Mounties, Fairies with chain pony tails, this set up has it all.

(even a slide)

Love her imagination.

Bright and Cheerful Layouts

Happy seems to describe this girl, 90% of the time. She can be stubborn and if you have to wake her up, prepare to be greeted by a grumpy teenager, but the rest of the time, she's so smiley and giggly, it's infectious.

Here's a few layouts showcasing her silly, happy side.

Last summer, she had so much fun in our backyard pool!

I used a variety of scrap papers for both of these layouts, just matching bright colours together and layering. In the top layout I see some Echo Park, Bo Bunny, Kaisercraft, and Me and My Big Ideas. 

This layout has Prima, MME, Me and My Big Ideas, and Basic Grey. I used a pen to doodle around both of these layouts. Just messy, freehand lines. I like the added depth it brings to the layers in the layouts.

Also, a cute little girl wearing her sister's bike helmet backwards, a backpack, and a serious expression. She's ready for her next adventure.
