Sprinkler Fun

The cooler weather is finally arriving here and we are seeing signs of fall beginning to pop up.  But even though summer is gone, we still have lots of summer memories and photos to tell the stories.

I created this layout using some cute pictures of my nieces playing in the sprinklers. I used mostly Jillibean Soup products. I love their beautiful choices of paper. The Soup Staples papers are so easy to coordinate with their other patterns.

The title is actually my own handwriting and cut on my Cameo. And I didn't need a Wacom Tablet to do it. I found an easy tutorial from a member on the message board at Studio Calico. 

You can use the app "Skitch" on your iPad. I already had it downloaded so that was a plus!

Just begin a new blank document, write your title or create your design, email it, open the file on your computer and trace on your Cameo. The whole process took me maybe five minutes and it was easy peasy!

You can find the full tutorial here.

Ok, back to the layout!

I love just tacking my title down in a few places so it's not completely flat. Adds some dimension to the page.

I just used the negative space of the title on the left side for a little extra punch! The colors in these papers worked perfectly with my bright yellow background to help convey the warm summer days full of bright sunshine!
