Before you get bogged down with life and summer activities, take a short break to bring your memories to life with a vacation-themed project! It could be as simple as using those shells you found on the beach, documenting daily activities, or using vacation photos in a summery layout! If you want a Prima collection that is perfect for a summer-theme, then try out St. Tropez! It's beautiful colors and nautical themes are perfect for summer vacation!
"Today I want to show you my new canvas "Patina Shells". I played with a lot of different textures and layers, using the new Patina Paste effect and a lot of Finnabair's products. I mixed the 3 colors of the Patina Effect Paste, perfect for creating texture and adding dimension! I added some shells and a starfish, and, of course, Prima's flowers!!" ~ Nathalie Dalibard

"I love to travel and I love to document the vacation. I've done some mini albums in the past, but the problem is that by the time I have ordered the photos and put everything together the atmosphere of the trip is gone." ~ Riikka Kovasin
"So my trick is this - a box style mini album! Before the trip I make a postcard sized box out of one sheet of 12x12 paper. During the vacation I buy a couple of cards with photos from the destination and write a diary-like journaling to those. So when I get back home, I have the story already recorded with some photos and ephemera and can then use the vacation pictures I order to layouts!"
"This box is waiting for August and our family trip to London. Can't wait to have it in use!"

"I used the same embellishments on the Patina Shells Canvas and this one, but here, I just used the Finnabair Sparks Acrylic Paint in Raven Black. I love this paint so much, it has just the most beautiful effect!! I added some color with the Opal Magic Wax in Turquoise Satin and the Sparks Acrylic Paint in Mermaid Sparkle." ~ Nathalie Dalibard

"Hooray for Summer! Miss Pink Lemonade loves summertime because that means she gets to set up her lemonade stand and hand out icy cups of pink lemonade to all her friends. I created Pink Lemonade with the beautiful Pastel Dreams and Decadent Pies Watercolor Confection. She is painted on wood that has been prepared with a watercolor ground. I hope your summer is filled with lots of beach time, cold drinks, relaxation and inspiration!" ~ Mindy Lacefield

"Summer is the season that is full of sunshine and adventures. We go to the beach and swim; we travel and play; we laugh and enjoy summer. Therefore, blue, brown, and yellow colors perfectly represent summer. They are the colors of sea, beach, and sunshine. Therefore, I chose these three colors to decorate my weekly spread as summer time is the theme of this week." ~ Jennifer Wong
You can grab your vacation photos, ephemera and memories to create your own memorable projects! Enjoy your summer!
