Summer days


 Today felt like Spring.  It was so nice outside and I was off!  I worked in the morning and then drove down to the beach it get some fresh air and to roll down my windows and allow my car to get some fresh air.  As much as I am sad that we pretty much skipped a whole season(that season being Winter) I am getting a little excited about Spring.  I love the smell of it,  the clear air, that fresh sort of feeling.  I guess I am looking forward to it.

Today I scrapped about Summer, I like that season as well but to a certain extent.  Not much for the heat, all that humidity that goes with it on the East coast.  However I do enjoy the fun times camping, going on adventures, even just going to the beach.  I know that I have talked about going to Coney Island in the past on this blog.  It happens to be one of my favorite things to do in the Summer. 

I came across the picture I used in the layout below in my roller tote thing(its what I have all my remaining scrap supplies in while living as a nomad) I love this picture because it was taken at Beer Island which is no longer at Coney Island(boo) Due  to higher rent rates they were forced to close down.  A lot of places were actually, slowly Coney Island is losing its charm, sad.  Just recently we read in the paper that they are ripping up the wood boardwalk and installing a plastic one, not so sure about a plastic boardwalk.  My friend Melissa has gone down there to see if she can get a piece for us, I think it would be something I treasure, perhaps hang some Coney Island pictures on(great idea Mel!)


I did this layout for the Two Peas Elle's Studio challenge ( I have lots of Elle's Studio to use over here) The challenge was just to use Elle's Studio products that could be found at Two Peas.  I like the color combo in this layout, summery, light, cotton candy and sunshine yellow:)  Not much embellishing, pretty simple. 

After I created this one I made two others!  SO I guess I am on a roll, ONCE again!
