makeyesup – “Olde Tyme Texas Ranch” Layout
In the Groove
Vacation is upon us (at least in our dreams!). This month, we’re featuring layouts from Scrapbook MAX! Community Members who have shared their travel destinations with us – in lovely layouts!
A travel album is one of the classic photo albums, isn’t it? Digital scrapbooks with Scrapbook MAX! give you even more possibilities for your travel pics – slideshows, movies, screensavers, email travelogues, and more! Let your imagination go wild as you capture the spirit of your travels!
This month, we’ve got your favorites covered, too: great layouts to inspire, a freebie challenge by designer Monja Wessel, discounts on featured kits, and an extended sale in our Last Chance category in the store (read below for the full scoop!)
Relax and “Layout” on the Beach!
The soft sand, the shining sun, the waves lapping against the shore…these layouts capture them all! Artfully using “sandy” tans, beiges and neutrals to contrast with sky and ocean blues, these layouts bring a little bit of the beach home with you!

On the European Scene…
These dazzling layouts come to us from two European vacations. The splendour of a Greek vista is framed by classic embellishments in muted tones. By contrast, the bright, vivid colors of a Venetian carnivale adorn a stunning photo. Absolutely lovely!

The Groove Monthly Freebie Challenge
June 2010 Freebie by Monja Wessel
Each month, a featured designer offers a great freebie mini-kit and issues a challenge based on that kit.
All you need to do is download the freebie, create a layout that steps up to the challenge, upload it to the Groove challenge and post a link to your layout in a reply to the challenge thread!
This month, designer Monja Wessel has shared a sweet, elegant freebie that you’ll love!
Here’s the Challenge:
This month’s freebie includes a stunning background paper and a lovely wreath frame embellishment. Using both of these items, frame something special to you: it can be a person, a place, even a recipe, that part’s up to you!.
Be sure to include journal text explaining why the person, place or thing has a special place in your heart. Go ahead and add other embellishments and papers, and re-color if you wish!

No Place Like Home
At the end of vacation, there is no place like home! We love the sleepy look on puppy’s face captured in a series of photos – sleepy, sleepier, sleepiest…shhh, she’s asleep! So sweet – and does it ever capture the pleasant feeling of “headin’ home”!
