Summer Fiesta: July MegaKit at Ivy Scraps!

The kit is not quite ready for public consumption yet, but we are busily working to get some LOs up for you to whet your appetite.  There are several LOs already posted in the Ivy Scraps CT gallery.  Check 'em out.

My LOs for Summer Fiesta, posted at Ivy Scraps (i'll also post in DigiScrapAddicts--DSA, and DigiShopTalk--DST: see links below): be sure to click the image to see more detail. And thanks for looking!

Gathered

This LO uses the July Mega from the designers of Ivy Scraps, coming soon!  Check back for the link!  This LO also used Gloria ValVerde's July 2009 Template 2, which was a blog freebie and is STILL available if you [url=http://gloriavalverde.blogspot.com/2009/07/free-template-time.html]go there[/url] and click the download link; also stitching is from Old Lady Designs [url=http://tinyurl.com/2dz7a3n]'Out My Window'[/url] kit.  All photos ©2010 LLG Denise, all rights reserved. journaling font: Gabriola; wordart font: lima bean
The major journaling reads: The Bells--Dave, Bev, Meagan, and Brad--are family! We often spend holidays together, and often talk about what makes America so--or not so--great.  Sometimes the exchanges can get quite heated, but all is approached in love, and there’s always the pool to cool off.  Today, we were joined by Lenore and Bailey, also very much part of this extended family, as well as 2 of the 3 dogs--Thandie and Phoebe! No mosquitos and no disagreements  today!  Great food--a proper brai!  A Blast! Happy 4th of July! We missed you Brad and Martin!
The tags read (top to bottom): The Bells, Jan, Thandie, with South African signs of home; Hmmm, er'body's back is turned or they are looking down...no pictures today? and Ebony (Bailey), Ivory (Lenore) and Phoebe (in the yellow hat).
I personally think this layout is a little crowded, but i couldn't think what to leave off!  I wanted to play with ALL OF IT!

Mud Buggy

This LO uses the July Mega from the designers of Ivy Scraps, coming soon!  Check back for the link!  Also inspired by sketch #121 at [url=http://www.scrapbooksetc.com/layouts/sketches/]ScrapbooksEtc[/url]. The photo ©2009 LLG Denise, all rights reserved. journaling font: Comic Sans MS
Little strips read: 'Does this bring back memories?' and 'Yes, but prolly not what you expect!'  Major journaling reads: Last year was the first vacation we left our son at home alone.  This is what we found--yes, the dirt represents what most of our lawn looked like! But when i look at this picture, i’m reminded of GZV; some you you may recognize both the initials and why she comes to mind!

Daylilies

This LO uses the July Mega from the designers of Ivy Scraps, coming soon!  Check back for the link!  Also inspired by sketch #36 at [url=http://www.scrapbooksetc.com/layouts/sketches/]ScrapbooksEtc[/url].The photo ©2010 LLG Denise, all rights reserved. font:  Harrington, title font Mandingo
Journaling reads: My yard is full of daylilies, of every shape, size, color!  Whereever i walk, i see deep reds--almost purple--oranges, yellows--both bright and delicately pale.  Mixed among them are clematis--climbing, herbs that need weeding, irises, poppies, pansies, lamb’s ears, azaleas, daffodiles, peonies, hydrangea and rhododendrons!  Everyday, something new to capture my camera!

Be on the lookout!  This is a great kit!
