Summer Moment

The first layout from My Own Kit, July 2013, is based on a great sketch from the Artful Delight kit club blog, Delightful Inspiration.

Here's the sketch:


And here is the page I created:


The photo I used was taken with my iPhone, and I used one of the new photo apps I learned about during the Phone Photography Project class at Big Picture Classes to alter the photo and add the word "summer." The rest of the title fit perfectly underneath, chosen for the August 1st challenge over at the Use Your Words blog.

This page came together so quickly, even with cutting those circles. I love the simplicity and that I was able to capture one of my favorite summer moments.

I almost forgot! I've been taking a class from Angie Lucas at Big Picture Classes called Grammar-Free Journaling, and one of the strategies for that class is one-sentence journaling. This layout was just the right fit for that strategy, too.
