Fall Inspiration:Lovely Leaves

I'm so ready for some crisper weather here...(we're still stuck in the 80's!) I keep looking for fallen leaves on the ground or some sign that we're going to see fall soon. Sadly, I'm stuck to looking at photos and thinking up ways to create my own 'fallen' leaves. Some of my favorites for you--

1. When Autumn Leaves Start to Fall, 2. Fall(en) Leaf, 3. Fall Leaf

I think I'm also going to try making some crayon wax leaves today...have you ever done this? I'd be happy to know any tips or tricks you might have! I'm going to use this tutorial: V & Co.

Do you have any fall leaves on the ground yet? Love them or hate them? Do anything special with them? I'd love to hear!

It's Sum..Sum..Sum..Sum..SUMMERTIME!

And boy can I tell! My schedule is all out of whack and that means a bit of computer time is thrown out the door as well! We just got done celebrating my daughter's 6th birthday and went out of town to enjoy some time away as a family...enjoying the outdoors and the beautiful weather as much as possible. Now I'm home again with a ton of fun photos that make me smile just thinking about them and now to the fun part...getting to scrap them!

Here are some fun summertime themed layouts that I've seen as of late around the web and in one of my favorite publications, Creating Keepsakes. Hopefully they will inspire you to create some fun summer themed layouts (that is of course when you are not out enjoying those summer memories in the making!).
