31 Pages in 31 Days: welcome, scrapbookers!

Here we are in August already! For a world that has slowed down, this summer seems to still be moving at top speed! But August means it's scrapbooking month here at Song of My Heart Stampers, and time for my annual blog series, 31 Pages in 31 Days!

If you're an old friend of Song of My Heart, you know this month is going to be fun! And if you're a newbie, you're in for a treat. Each day during August I share a single or double-page 12×12 layout for your inspiration. My background in graphic design and layout allows me to share unique tips to help you up your own scrapbooking game as well as seeing new products and trends in action.

And of course… there are giveaways! I have been saving up paper packs, past Suite Samplers, new Holiday mini catalog goodies and more for our prizes. And every day one lucky commenter will win a free trial month of My Layout Library.

We're going to have so much FUN this month! So let's start right now, with our first inspiration layout!

Had a lot of girly fun with the Dressed to Impress stamp set and a classic hot pink, black and aqua color combination with silver mercury glass accents. They'd make a great way to commemorate a dress-up party or a first pedicure.

These pages require just two sheets of 8.5 x 11 cardstock for all the mats, isn't that fun? This particular layout will be in My Layout Library next month in the file Scrapper's Sketch of the Week 221-224. Enjoy the sneak peek!

Thanks for joining us for Day One of the 31 Pages in 31 Days challenge! Maybe you've already got the itch to play along? Go for it! Tag your photos with the #31pagesin31days hashtag so we can see what you're making and share the inspiration.

See you in the scraproom!
