It's another FUN Friday at Your Next Stamp, and this month's theme is Summer Fun!

   

With summer approaching very quickly, I've been trying to think of ideas to keep the kiddos busy over the break... My daughter, Olivia, is very artsy-fartsy, just like her momma! I thought it would be fun to put together a small scrapbook/journal where she can paste photos, draw pictures, and write about all the fun she has this summer. I've had this Maya Road 6x6 Chipboard Album for ages, needing a purpose, and this project was perfect for it!

             

I decorated the cover of the album with the adorable Summer Fun Fhiona, and some bright, fun papers from the Fancy Pants Beach Babe 6x6 pad. I sponged the cloudy background behind Fhiona with the YNS Puffy Cloud Die, and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. The sun was created with two cuts from the YNS Whimsy Star Die, stacked and topped with a button. The layout is this week's Sketch Saturday.

    

    

The album is a simple three ring binder with chipboard pages, a perfect clean slate for Olivia to decorate, and we can easily add more pages as needed! I'm so happy with how this little book turned out, that I've ordered two more so I can make one for each of the kiddos! It will be a fun way to unwind at the end of the day together, and keep track of summer memories!
