Designer Challenge with Lisa Dickinson!

 

Hello friends!  Lisa Dickinson here, happy to report that summer has finally arrived in Colorado (hopefully in your neck of the woods, too!).  And if your summer is anything like mine, you have high hopes for accomplishing lots of fun summertime activities over the next few months. This year, my kids and I decided to make a master list of fun things we'd like to include in our summer vacation. We wrote them down on tags punched from cardstock and pinned them to a bulletin board where we'll see them everyday.  As we do activities, we'll remove them from the board, and hopefully by the end of August, the bulletin board will be empty and our summer itinerary will be full!  I plan to keep the "completed" tags and file them with the photos I take this summer to help remind me of our adventures and serve as prompts when it comes time to scrap them.

 

 

So today I want challenge you to make a list of summertime activities you want to do.  They can be as simple as "watch a sunset" and "eat homemade ice cream" or as elaborate as "host a BBQ for the neighborhood" and "grow 50 different flower varieties in my garden." Document your list on a bulletin board, a chalk board, a poster, or even on a scrapbook page if you want!  And once your list is done, jump right in and start doing all those fun things (and don't forget to take photos along the way!)

And if you're looking for more ways to scrap your summer memories, don't forget to download a copy of the brand new summer issue of Scrapbook & Cards Today!  It's full of ideas on documenting your warm weather memories, like this page I did about our favorite summertime treat:

 
I'll be back on Wednesday to share some more summer scrapping ideas. Until then, happy scrapping my friends!  ~ Lisa

What a great idea! It can easily be adapted for things you want to do in December or at any time of year. Thanks for sharing.

This is SUCH a clever idea! Like a tag bucket list for summer! :) FABULOUS.

I did exactly this with my oldest granddaughter the first summer we moved to the beach! We had so much fun "checking off" our list! With lots of photos to show our activities, we have a mini book full of memories!
