Scrapbooking Layout Ideas - Aussie Summer

34

This is an older Scrapbooking Layout I completed some years ago and it is still one of my favorites. Maybe it's the bright orange colours or all of the fun bits n' pieces I used on the layout. 

I really dislike the cold winter weather. Although the temperature doesn't really go below 0 degrees, I still find it cold so in winter I snuggle up and I become essentially a homebody and scrap body. 

The summer, however, is totally different, I love the heat and I have a couple of favourite things I really enjoy in summer. Of course, swimming in our pool is a regular pastime, every day after work we come home and jump in to cook off. ....

I love our summer fruits, love eating ice cream, and love seeing the kids having a ball outside. 

Another fun-filled activity is bushwalking, there are plenty of places to walk here in the Blue Mountains. 

So here is a layout just depicting some of the fun things I enjoy in Summer. 

Always one for advocating using my stash. In this layout, I used scrap pieces of paper and really just bits and pieces from my stash. 

How do you find the time to be creative?

I'd love to hear your ideas of how you fit in your creative time in between all the other things we have going on in our lives?
