The busy days of summer are coming to an end and this makes me really sad! So I haven't posted much lately or done much scrapping as I am trying to spend all my time with the kids before they go back to school. My favorite parts of summer are not being on a schedule, doing whatever we want every day and having my kids home full time. I wish it lasted all year, but then maybe I wouldn't love it as much!
Here are the layouts I made for the mid month garden on 2Peas. The theme for the month is finishing touches, so I tried to add a few extra things to each layout. I think this first one shows how my daughter feels about summer ending too! These pictures were from the first day of school last year.
The photo on this layout was taken at Legoland last week. Chloe was definitely enjoying herself! Her expression cracked me up, so I wanted to make a layout just using this photo and keep it really fun.
Another of our favorite summer spots is the local petting zoo - Sophie was getting mauled by the aggressive and hungry animals as you can see from the expression on her face!
And last, a fun evening spent at the school fair right before school ended for the summer. This is all made with the Heidi Grace line called A Little Bird's Tale.
Hope you are all having a WONDERFUL summer too!!! Suzy
You are so good. That Laugh layout is especially fabulous.

Your layouts are stunning !! Love the vibrant happy colors. I tend to gravitate toward more muted colors but these make me want to add more color to them. Thanks for sharing...and inspiring.

Suzy your work is always spectacular. I love every little detail you add to your pages. Simply phenomenal my friend. I so understand about you not wanting summer to be over and have the kids go back to school. I was the same way when my girls were little. Time just flies by too fast. I’m having my own dilemma about having my daughter get married in less then a month. That will feel like a permanent school year with no summer vacation!
Enjoy each and every fleeting moment of the last of your summers days. Just think you can scrap all those fabulous photos you took and go back and relive the moments.
Suzy you are the queen of scrapbooking! I’ve enjoyed all your garden work. You have a scrapping green thumb! :o)
Have a marvelous day. Hugs!
