I actually started out doing the Summer Tradition challenge, and then I realized I was using so many of my favorites, many for the first time, that I though the layout would be a better fit for this challenge.
I'm actually using up to 6 layers on the layout!! I think it's my record. I've got the pink mat, caramel mat, inside pink mat, DP, photos and on the left I have note and ghost flower on top (7 if you count the rhinestone ). Things I've bought because they were pretty, but rarely use or never used before include: ice cream embellishment, Heidi Swapp write blocks, Heidi Swapp ghost flower, rhinestones, Prima flowers, pink DP and baby blue rub-ons from Honeymoon kit.
The theme of the layout was supposed to be summer tradition, but I love summer and couldn't pick just one. The journaling reads, "I love summer...
I get to wear flip-flops! Very possibly the best shoe ever invented! Comfortable, versatile, and easy to put on. I own more flip flops than other shoes combined. There are rubber and foam ones for the pool, even if they get wet, they dry in minutes. There are dressy ones, platform and flats.. My personal tradition is to add at least 1 pair to my collection each summer.
I get to eat lots of ice cream! Ice cream and chocolate constantly compete for the #1 spot of my treat. This summer my husband and I started a tradition where each time we got groceries at Whole Foods, we picked up some Gellato. Mmm, just thinking about it makes me smile. We also went out a few times to as new part of town just to get ice cream and walked around. We found places we never knew existed.
I get to Smile more often! I love being able to walk outside without putting on layers of clothing. I love nature – trees are green, flowers are blooming, birds singing. Everything is alive and blooming and it cheers me up too. The sunshine puts me in a better mood and i feel like I smile more often
I get to swim! I love to be outsides. I love going to the pool, beach or any other body of water. If it wasn't for sun damage, I could stay out the beach for hours.
