Heat Wave

I have been looking for ways of keeping myself cool this week with the weather being so hot.  We have spent alot of time in the basement, my daughters playing Wii, and me playing on the computer or scrapbooking, and sometimes joining my girls for some Mario.  I've also indulged in a Tim's ice cap that my thoughfull neighbor delivered to me yesterday.  All in all, it was a great last week before school starts again and I'm ready Earl and  the long weekend ahead

I've completed my first layout using the new Magic book featuring a picture waterfall of my trip to convention.  By pulling on the flowered circle, you flip over the picures to reveal more pictures and hidden journaling.  I found that I had to tweek it a little from the original plans in the book, but i'm happy with the end results.  This is the layout I'll be using to the September workshop. 

I have also completed the introduction page for my Austria album using the Passage kit.  I wanted to add something else to it, like a stamped image or flourishes or ribbon, but I think I like it the way it is, simple.  What do you think?
