OK everyone, summer is upon us and we want to see what you've been up to. Just scrap a layout showing us what you've done this summer, be it going away for a few days, a day trip or just hanging out at home enjoying this time of year. For those of you on the other side of the world who are presently having winter.......show us what you did while enjoying your summer season.
The only rules for this is to scrap using Scrap Orchard product and have fun!

As a special treat Shauna has offered a surprise to one lucky person...so hop to it and get those summer photos scrapped, only 31 days to go!

Great challenge Jo! Going to have to think for this one since we have done absolutely nothing this summer.

[jeepmama]

Great challenge...and well timed. Now I have to sort through my 400+ photos from the beach.

Nahhhh....I don't overdo things.... LOL!!!!!!!

(In my defense, we were there for three weeks.... :toot:

[Jacquie]

Hmmmm, sounds like a cool plan.... maybe i can file for an extension period as i don't get my holidays until September..... guess where we are flying to......from the tiny country of Holland to the great big US of A..:hyper::hyper::hyper:

Extra info: my mum married an American and now lives in Pittsburgh!

[jaye]

You don't have to scrap your holiday (I'd be toast as I haven't gone anywhere) just something you did this summer.

Great challenge!

[Jacquie]

How is this for some summer fun. I used Boys of summer..... very cool kit for some tough boys.....

Great layout Jacquie! Thanks for participating.

[~Cathi~]

I'm going to try hard today to get some serious scrapping done! I'll have to dig back for some summery pics :)

[Jacquie]

Thank you Jaye,
I loved using this kit, it was fun to do....
Can't wait for my holiday to use it again hahahaha

OMG Jeepmama.. does that mean when I was away for two weeks and took over 1500 photos, I totally overdid it?? LMAO Honestly, rapid shot, a 4GB CF card... heaven! ;)

[~Cathi~]

Ok, I just got mine done.. hope you like it! :)

Cathi, Lori they look great!!

Holy cow, girl! How do you keep them straight?!?! I'd be dangerous with a 4 GB card. i think I'm at a 256 MB now and it "forces" me to be a little picky. Since I got my new laptop with a built-in card reader, it's become very easy to offload my pics and start shooting again.

Most of mine are the rapid shot ones...that's how I got the 'Sweet Mercy' shot. It just fires away and I pan through for the one I like best. I still have a lot of weeding out to do.

Gonna try to get a layout done in the next day or so. I've spent all my time this weekend trying to organize my stash!! :)

I hope this is alright. It's winter here so I had to dig up some old photos and I had to go back a fair way to find some summer photos on this HD I hadn't already scrapped.
These are from a stinking hot summers day we decided to go for a drive to take some landscape photos, but it rained and everything was grey and steamy.
It's a double page layout

We pretty much stayed home this summer. We spent a fair amount of time taking walks though and taking my sister's boyfriend's dog to play at the dog park. This LO shows him playing there.

Here's (http://scraporchard.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=10700) a little something I whipped up this morning. I've been having a little trouble with my Photoshop, so this may be my last LO for a while. I've got to send this computer to get fixed up.

Here's mine - summer is all about the 4th of July here! Our extravaganza is the highlight of our summer since our off time from work is more in the winter. Thanks for a fun challenge!

We did SO much this summer--I could be here scrapping for weeks! But I had to document my daughters first trip to the beach!
