"Life is Good in the Summer" by Penny Grimsley 
Supplies - Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned paper: Echo Park; Embellishments: Echo Park; Punch: Martha Stewart, Jenni Bowlin; Twine: Doodlebug

Variation #1 - I changed the photo size to 3 x 3 and matted them on white, like they are Polaroids.

Variation #2 - I added a cardstock mat under the background paper after trimming it to 11x11.

Variation #3 - I did simple journaling with a tab punch and sticker strips on my photos.

Variation #4 - I placed the title where the journaling cluster was shown.

Variation #5 - I widened and lengthened the cardstock strip and used a border punch to help ground all the bright colors.

Variation #6 - I tied twine around the bottoms of the "Polaroids".

Variation #7 - I eliminated the little butterflies, as I felt they would be "too much" with the twine.

"Our Early Morning Visitor" by Noey Hunt 
Products used - Patterned papers: SEI (pinecones), The Paper Company, Jillibean soup; Stickers: Martha Stewart (pinecones); Letters: mls, Making Memories, American Crafts, SEI; Tools: Cricut Gypsy Wanderings cartridge (branch)

Variation 1: I swapped out the banner for a tree branch to fit my theme.


Variation 2: This layout called for a subtitle, so I added it with more letter stickers just under my journaling.
