Waiting for Sunset - Two Page Summer Family Layout

 I've had a crazy busy summer. I've been away on business for two separate weeks, followed by some vacay days. It's been crazy, but mostly good! Hope your summer is going well.

So many fun summer layouts to share with you, so I'm going to get right to it. We had a long family weekend in Holland, MI on Lake Michigan four years ago! I can't believe it's taking me so long to post, but hey...you're probably not shocked.

Ugh...I didn't put the date on here but it was summer of 2018 based on the other layouts I will be sharing later. This paper and journaling tag came from a really cool distressed pack of paper from We R Memory Keepers. The scalloped yellow chevron banner is a paper banner by Heidi Swapp. I love how they match perfectly even though they are different brands. In addition, I added some random paper flowers from my stash.

I love all the people in these photos and the wonderful memories they bring back. Our family dynamics have changed dramatically since then. Sometimes that makes it very hard to post my layouts, but I'm choosing to dwell on the happy memories that I've documented with love. The photos of the kids playing on the beach and the anticipation of the beautiful sunset makes me smile.I really like the way it turned out and seeing all of the smiles of my beautiful family.  

 I have not felt very productive or motivated lately. I need to break that trend! When I get home from work, I make so many excuses to just not do anything, "I'm tired", "My eyes are stressed", "I need to make dinner"...you name the excuse and I've probably used it.  Then I end up doing basically nothing. Tell me all your secrets to change my lazy habits!! :)

Waiting for Sunset - Two Page Lake Michigan scrapbook layout

 Time for another Lake Michigan sunset? It's always time for a good sunset...no matter where you are when the sun says it's final goodbye for the evening. These are great memories from a family trip we took a few years back. 

The kids were clowning around in the sand as we waited for the magic to happen on the horizon. We were taking selfies together and enjoying each others' company. 

Both patterned papers and journaling tags are from a stack of beachy paper from We R Memory Keepers. I added some miscellaneous flowers and a Heidi Swapp scalloped paper banner. Using a few wallets helps to work in more pictures. 

Hope you are all enjoying your summer!! I haven't scrapped in awhile. I could use a little crafty time to ease my mind. How about you? Do you get much crafting done in the summer weeks?
