At {a flair for buttons} we're celebrating summer with a blog hop and summer layouts/projects to inspire you. Not only will you be able to enter for a chance to win a set of flair on each designer's blog but you'll meet some new additions to the team too!
We took the family to Cabo for a long weekend this summer and this is one of many photos that I took while there.
The hubs and I can jump pretty high for a couple people in their mid 40's, don't you think, lol?!
I used the Kraft and White flair on my layout, which was perfect for accenting the soft colors in my photo along with the kraft background. Everything else on my layout was from the Gossamer Blue June Kit.
Here are a few close-ups for you...
For a fun twist I decided to use the words from one of the Crate Paper sheets in The Pier collection and include them as part of my journaling.
Now for the fun part...leave a comment here on this post telling me what your favorite thing about summer is to be entered for a chance to win a set of flair of your choice from {a flair for buttons}. Make sure you visit each designer's blog in the hop for more chances to win.

Love the use of circles and the lovely writing

Lovely LO - I really like the use of the cut-out words in the journaling, especially combined with your own handwriting.
My favourite part of summer - eight weeks of holiday away from work. Bliss!

I like swimming the best! Wish it was possible for more than 4 months.
LOVE your layout! Like the combo of words and the circles add so much texture.

I TOTALLY love this layout!!

My favourite thing about summer is the fact that I have 7 weeks off from work, as I work in a school!

Great layout. Love that you included the words from the paper in your journaling. That kraft and white flair is awesome.
My favorite thing about the summer is NO HOMEWORK!!! My son tries so hard, but struggles terribly with his homework, summer is a much needed break for both of us.
