31 Pages in 31 Days: 8/9/13

If you're just joining us, welcome to Song of My Heart Stampers' new blog series, 31 Pages In 31
Days! Every day during the month of August, I'll be posting a single or
double page scrapbook layout for your inspiration. I am running a
Scrapbooking Summer School on four consecutive Thursday nights in
August, and I've issued them a challenge–complete thirty-one pages in
just thirty-one days, and they'll receive a bonus pack of Designer
Series Papers at the end of the month!

YOU CAN PLAY ALONG with us by challenging yourself to complete
thirty-one pages, too, and posting your progress here on Song of My
Heart Stampers. I also have set up a 31 Pages in 31 Days Facebook group, where you can even post pictures of your pages to inspire and encourage others who are taking the challenge, too!

Each week in August will have SCRAPPER'S BLOG CANDY given away to one
lucky winner from the week's comments here at the Song of My Heart
blog. You can comment once on each entry with that has the cute little
"31 Pages in 31 Days" butterfly banner that I created in My Digital
Studio.Tomorrow is the last day to leave a comment for a free photopolymer stamp set!

Some quick inspiration for you today as I am headed out the door to the grand finale of Vacation Bible School at our old church this morning (whew! we made it!)… These are more of the Travel Journal papers from the Clearance Rack–I'm telling you, you need them!I love the updated touch the chevron punch adds to everything. I also used Cute Clips and staples to add some metallic elements in, and two types of ribbon to add texture.

I really like the new line of buttons Stampin' Up came out with, too. They're nice and flat, so they don't poke up too much off the page, and they come in the most yummy colors! This color scheme was drawn straight from the papers–Crumb Cake, Night of Navy, Garden Green, Very Vanilla and Pumpkin Pie.

Scrapbooking Summer School kicked off last night and we all had a marvellous time. Many, many MANY thanks to Jane for the use of her lovely home, which we filled pretty much to capacity! I can't WAIT for next week!
