Have you started your Summer 2012 minibook?
I’ve been having fun finding photos from past summers to include, as well as planning potential layouts for this summer.
The Summer Lovin’ journaling resource is 26 pages – and each page offers a summer photo and a journaling topic for your inspiration.
Some of the topics offer a couple specific ideas, some offer 8 or 10 specific ideas.
You’re sure to find plenty to keep you busy writing about and recording your summer with my Summer Lovin’ journaling resource.
In fact, this image (the watermelon photo used on this page) is used IN the resource itself.
An excerpt from that page includes:
What are the smells that always tell you it is summer?
I love the smell of fresh watermelon, pool chlorine, mowed grass, sunscreen….
…. and so many more.
I made this simple page to record the smell of cutting into a new watermelon for the first time this summer.
This journaling resource will inspire you to record your summer memories with more detail and breadth than you maybe have ever done before.
Some of these are journaling and story ideas that can be reused every year, some will simply jog your memory to record a past summer story before it’s gone.
I am planning on making a little summer 2012 minibook, but you can blog these summer stories, art journal them, make a Blurb book, or record these summer stories any number of ways….
If you want to journal your summer along with me,

The page is from my scrap pile, so I’m not positive on the size, but the photo is 4×6 so the cardstock must be 10×6″ or similar.
Supplies:
- cardstock: from my scrap pile. But I’m pretty sure it’s from one of those assorted packs they sell at Michaels
- washi tape: Freckled Fawn
- pen: Sharpie
- photo and all hand-writing is my own













I love the smell of freshly mowed grass. The smell of sheets (or any clothing) hung out to dry on the line. And of course, the smell of watermelon.
