I'm still completely blown away by the fact that we're in August now.  I've been having the busiest summer and it's just flown by!  We've been camping nearly every weekend which has given me lots of great material to scrap with one of the newer digital releases - Take a Hike!

 

I actually bought a lot of the Take a Hike collection in paper form because I loved it so much, I couldn't live a life without it.  And now it's digital and that makes me so very happy!  I knew right away I wanted to scrap a digital page with this collection - it's the perfect color scheme and outdoorsy and rugged.  I couldn't ask for a better fit for my family of happy campers! 

 

 

I loved all of the fun patterns in this collection and it was so hard for me to choose which papers I wanted to layer on - I spent some time swapping them out and trying different things.  In the end, I landed on one of the multicolored patterned papers - I can never resist those!  Since that paper has a fairly busy pattern, I kept the rest of the page pretty simple and mostly photocentric.  I used a picture of my mom and my son out trying to catch turtles on the pond and used a couple of the fun cards to add some extra color to the page and give me a place to journal!

 

 

I loved the little fishing pole and fish - even though they aren't fishing for fish in this photo, it still struck me as just right and I think they look so cute filling in that space under the cards.  I loved that the journal card had a place for me to tuck in my date (which is never too precise because I always forget!).  

 

On that note, I'm off to make more memories with what remains of summer.  Have a great day!
