July 2015

I love being able to mix the pocket pages with some regular style layouts. It takes the pressure off trying to make layouts for all the pictures from a trip, and lets me focus on the photos I most want to scrap. Also, it's just so much easier to include more photos this way. A perfect system!

This week I have a bunch of fun things for you, plus a little surprise coming later in the week!

I'm often pretty lazy when I'm making layouts and I don't like going to all the trouble of making lots of layers for things. So I've made some layered templates that you can just stick into your layouts for a quick fix.

Well, I've fallen a bit behind during these busy summer months, but the structure of the pocket pages has made it easy enough to go back and catch up. Also, if I can find a few spare minutes to set up the photos and journaling, that makes everything easier when going back to catch up. I've finally finished up May, which was a big project because I also had our trip to Victoria to take care of (coming soon!).

June was one of those months were I did a bit more than I usually do. To begin I turned 30. My family visited Oregon, so we did our best to show it off. Then, Jordan's brother got married near Baltimore, and both Jordan and I were in the wedding. If I didn't have the pictures to prove it, I probably wouldn't believe I did all this stuff!
