And here we are - the tenth! Again!!
For this month's Studio AE hop we are playing with the new Summer Rocks by Ali Edwards set. The pictures that came to mind instantly when I saw this set were those of my teenager on his last day of tenth grade. Can you see the happiness? Yeah - he was excited. Truth be told - I was smiling just as big. Tenth grade was not our favorite year.
We were VERY happy for it to be summer time!!
Make sure to check out what the other players have created!
Kim Kesti, our guest for July!

I love the stamp on the mini file folder!

So much fun! I love the simplicity of the page elements. The hexagon path down the page is adorable and lets the photos shine for what they are...a teenage with a big smile on his face! Thanks for sharing.

Like the way you used the hexagons, and I just love that stamp set for summer!!
Posted by: Karen | July 10, 2012 at 08:35 AM
OK, my favorite layout so far -- because you have journaling in your own handwriting! the AE- stamps are great compliments, but there's nothing like the real thing!

I had to giggle because I have a picture of my youngest son jumping up and down on the last day of school. LOVE this layout!

What a great moment to capture! I can still remember that feeling....unfortunately I'm no longer a kid. Working people don't get the summer off...

Those phrase stamps really set the page off.
Posted by: Marcia Scantlin | July 10, 2012 at 10:55 AM
Such a great LO. Think your use of the stamps simply ROCKS. And the deceptive simplicity of the design is very effective.

10th grade was super tough for my daughter and I can certainly relate to this layout! Makes me realize how glad I am to have this last school year over with also! Here's to a better year ahead!
Posted by: Susan R | July 10, 2012 at 11:08 AM
We are also so glad to finally be done with school-I love it when my kids have a chance to just relax and not stress about homework and tests! thanks for sharing such a great layout!

Fun layout
Posted by: Linda | July 10, 2012 at 11:13 AM
I can feel that jump for joy in my heart! We can relate here, my daughter has Aspergers and it is often rough for her at school, but on the last day we are all smiles. Wishing you a wonderful summer, and your project with Ali's July stamps is one to treasure.

I can feel the excitement...it jumps right off of the page. Between your written word and the pics with the stamps to set them off...It is like I was there to see the occasion! And what a happy occasion it was. I didn't like 10th grade either. =)
Posted by: Julie L | July 10, 2012 at 10:34 PM
Perfect stamps for this fun layout.
