Design team member Pam Callaghan used the May Bouquet collection to highlight her family’s summer vacation.  Here’s what Pam had to say … “I wanted to do a page on the highlights of our vacation as a sort of intro page.  I created this page using May Bouquet papers and embellishments.  I first drew a sketch of my design and the computer to get an idea of what I wanted it to look like.  I used only a few embellishments to really make my photos pop.”

Design team member Susan Dupre celebrates a special friendship on her summer layout.  Here’s what Susan had to say … “Since I met my online friend Robbie last summer, we have talked on the phone almost every day.  This is big for me, because I hate talking on the phone.  She is such a dear friend to me, and it is amazing how alike we are to one another.  I truly adore her.”

Design team member Suzanne Sergi took this opportunity to document one of the highlights of her family’s summer – meeting American Idol Aaron Kelley.  Here’s what Suzanne had to say … “One of our summer highlights was meeting American Idol Aaron Kelley! After a trip to Legoland, we stopped at the restaurant, Outback Steakhouse. After being seated, we realized that Aaron Kelley was seated across from our table.  My daughter, and her friend could not stop giggling or screaming.  One of my friends went to his table and politely asked if he would not mind stepping outside for a couple of snapshots.  He was very gracious, and more than happy to pose with our girls.  We did not take any trips this summer; however, this moment was a memory of a lifetime for my sweet daughter.  What better way to document this moment, but with Tree House’s bold color palette?”

Design team member Mimi Leinbach celebrates the outdoors in her summer vacation layout.  Here’s what Mimi had to say … “For my family summer is all about being outdoors, sports, and the water! We spent a lot of time at the shore this year and the boys loved “trying” to perfect the skimboard … lots of ups and downs working on that, lol!  I shot continuous action shots of them practicing and it made for a great series of photos that really show them “working.”  I will tell you, after trying it once and landing very ungracefully I am so glad I could stay behind the camera and watch them … oh my aching back!”

What better way to document summer memories than to tell the story in a mini album as design team member Samantha Sibbet did here.  Here’s what Samantha had to say … “I thought a sweet little mini album full of Pebbles Tree House collection would be perfect for a summer memory album.  My girls love looking at pictures of themselves and reminiscing about fun times they’ve had.  A mini album is perfect for their tiny hands.”

Design team member Liz Qualman documented her favorite summer memory in this delightful layout of her daughter.  Here’s what Liz had to say … “Summer is such a relaxing time to keep things simple and fun, which is what this layout is all about.  My daughter loves the spray park by our house and we frequent it often.  To scrap this photo, I really loved the soft colors of the May Bouquet collection combined with some of the brighter Dear Lizzy papers and letters from American Crafts.  The effect is sunny and bright with a tad of spice, which turns up the heat on my simple design.“
