Welcome to another month of Celebrate the Seasons here at Two Peas!

I am a big fan of two page layouts that include lots of photos. I love being able to record an entire memory on one layout. This month I have another sketch for you that has room for 11 photos. Please see the sketch and the PDF handout for photo sizes and also for all the sizes of the papers I used in this layout.

I really wanted to include a lot of texture this month, without the bulk. I incorporated Metallic Silver paper, Velvet Papers, Vellum and Cork paper in my title and embellishments. This month your challenge is to add texture to your layout. Even you digi scrappers can do this with the digital embellishments and papers that you use. 

To participate: 

• Create a 1 or 2 page layout using some sort of texture.
• Layout can Digital, Traditional or a Hybrid. :)
• You are not required to use the sketch.
• You may scrap any theme/holiday but try to stick to a summer holiday (whatever says "summer" or "July" to you or your family. Family birthday's and celebrations (i.e. anniversaries, reunions, etc. are all good).
• Submit your layout by uploading to the gallery by August 4, 2009 11:59 EST. Don't forget to click the box next to this class (Celebrate the Seasons July 2009).

I will pick a winner randomly from all the submissions to win a Gift Certificate to Two Peas and post the winner on the Education Board on August 5th. For every submission to this class you will earn a badge. Fun!

Don't forget to stop by the Education board to chat and share links to your layouts!
