August Design Team Projects for Scrapgal!

I can't believe August is here already!! Where is the summer going?
For Scrapgal this month, I chose to work with two fun summer lines from the store! Echo Park's Sweet Summertime
and a little bit of KI Memorie's Juicy Summer!
I don't typically go for cutesy styles, but I loved the bright fun colors of the Echo Park line. And I had received some fun stickers from Doodlebug's Mother Nature collection as an extra embellishment to work with because I loved the sunshine font you will see that I used on my next layout. This Watercolor layout started out with some misting of yellow and turquoise on the top and bottom corners. And then everything came together pretty quickly!

My next layout is my monthly challenge for the Scrapgal boards. I have the photo challenge this month. And my challenge is to add text to a photo. Whether it be a title or journaling. Digitally or with alphabet stickers, rub-on's or stamps :) You can find all the challenges here on the Monthly Challenges board.

My last project is a card using a mix of all three of the lines :) Plus some Cosmo Cricket mini alphabet stickers. I used a journal die-cut as the base for the rest of the design.

I will have a few extra projects to share this month as well. My Scrapgal blog post will go up on August 3rd. And we are having a blog hop on August 26th! Hope you can join us for that :)
Hope you are staying cool where you are? We are trying! :-)

  2. These are awesome layouts! The summery fun colors help the cutesy along. I don't do cutesy much either, in summer, it's easy! Love the scallop borders.

  4. These bright, happy colors look great with your summer photos! I don't think any of them look cutesy at all, just lots of fun. Summer is going by too fast, but I sure would welcome some cooler temps.

  9. I agree, I don't normally like cutesy paper either but Echo Park seems to pull it off somehow very well! Your layouts are awesome - love the little opening for the text on the first one and the design on the second with the clean lines and open space and the scallops.
