Getting back to crafting...

This summer was such a crazy summer for our family with one of my daughters active in sports through August (which is unusual for her).  We really didn't get a break, not even to head to the pool!  It feels like the summer just flew by and with a friend of mine posting on facebook today the fact that BJ's has their Christmas Tree display up? Well, that just made me HAVE to post a picture of this layout I made at an all day crop a few weekends ago.  I was lucky enough to spend some QT with a few of my girlies and it was definitely the break I needed, although I left exhausted after scrapping for 10 straight hours.  In any event, I'm quite proud of this layout and thought I'd share:

I am totally in love with glimmer mist, which I used here to create a sun in the corner. I also used it to shimmer the grungeboard (which I love, it's so versatile!). It's so funny, as summer winds down I find myself longing for fall....until I see this picture, then I long for those summer days all over again!
