Staycation Prompt #8 Download
How long has it been since you've read a book for pleasure? How about that perfect "beach read?" A beach read is one that is very easy, enteraining, yet hard to put down. This week's theme is to read that book you've been meaning to. Myself, well, I have read more fiction this summer than I've read in at least four years, all thanks to Stephenie Meyer. I was proud of myself for reading "Eat, Pray, Love" last year, the first novel-type book I had picked up in years. But this year, everyone was talking about the Twilight series of books and then I got hooked! I finished reading the first three books over the period of two months. Then I actually needed something to do yesterday in order to give my husband some space to get his work done, so I went out and bought the latest Stephenie Meyer book "Breaking Dawn" yesterday afternoon and read over 300 pages last night. I don't know what it is but these books are seriously addictive. In fact, I forgot all about today's blog post until I was ready to hit the sack at 1:30 am.

You might consider starting a book club for your friends' or better yet, for your children and their friends! Just google "how to start a book club" and you'll find lots of tips to get started.

My layout for this week is a hybrid layout featuring stamping. First I planned out where I wanted all my physical products to be on the layout, then I measured the space for the digi part. I did some fun stamping techniques by using a glue pad to make my stamp, then used Fun Flock on the arrow. For the journaling stamp, I used glitter. I used Stayz-on Ink for the photo corner. Hybrid layouts are most fun for me because I love using all my creative knowledge at once. It's a great challenge and I'm always up for a good challenge.

Here's my digi part featuring Marcie Reckinger's Backyard Superstar kit:
