At first, I couldn't at all come up with an idea for a summery project... For quite a while however, I've been jealous (and inspired!) about the journal calendar pages made by Carol. I actually wanted to make my own calendar since I saw Kate's project in the January 2011 Craft Stamper.
![]()
Every month, on her blog, Kate inspires the crafters to share the calendar journaling inspiration, so I thought it would be nice to join in and use the summer theme on my first page ;).
I opted for a "day at the beach" and used these cool Crafty Individuals stamps...
I hope it's not bad luck or anything to start the year in June lol! ;))).
