Ready For Summer

We had a good weekend. Going back to work after a holiday is hard, but when it's Memorial Day and it's been like summer, it's extra hard. Despite the fact that we had a slight mishap while opening our pool - things got cleaned up and our kids spent the entire day yesterday swimming. I know they had a good time because they are still sleeping. I am ready for summer, and I'm sure they are too. Telling them it's time to get up for school is not going to go over well this morning.

Today I've got a page I made for the Elle's Studio sketch challenge last week. The sketch was lifted from a page by Kim Jeffress.

This page is a mish mosh of the Elle's Studio & Studio Calico kits for May, along with a handful of Elle's Studio tags. Here's a close up:
 The bottom of a large banner in the original layout looked like an upside down envelope to me - so that's what a I used under my photo cluster:

Did you play along at Elle's for the launch party? There's still time to upload projects! Have you seen the new summer product sneaks - they go on sale Thursday? Lots of good stuff to check out over at Elle's Studio this week!

Have a great day!
