summer journals

the end of school is coming quickly, as is summer, so i thought for today's post i would show you some examples of great ways to capture your summer moments.

first off, i posted this over on the boards, but i just love this list of summer photo ideas over at studio calico. i figure you need great photos before you can even think about scrapping!

{this photo has no relevance to me at all, other than it being a really cute summer picture. ha!}

second, here are some great ideas for summer journals/minis:

i love the concept behind this mini from kelly purkey - taking all the little bits of paper from the month, punching a hole and putting into a little binder. take that, with some fave pics + washi tape for journaling and you have a great, easy mini.

this mini by joy madison is easy and super cute. it's predone, so all you have to do is add your pictures and journaling and you're done! (to see the rest of the album, check here). even better? most of these products can be found in the june mss kit.

this moleskin journal mini by stephanie wheeler is perfect to document vacations. i love the way moleskin journals look - they totally scream james bond to me - lol.

i always love marcy's minis. they're simple and bright and just lovely. lucky for you, the above mini comes in a kit that you can purchase from marcy's etsy site. it doesn't get much easier than that!

how are you planning on documenting your summer? do you and the kids do anything together?
