Last Days of Summer
As we cherish these last few days of summer, we are desperate to slow time down. We are clinging to the last days of warm sunny afternoons, and putting the back to school schedules on snooze. We long for one last lazy drive down a winding road, windows down, music up. When I first saw this collection, I was immediately transported to that summer day - driving along, taking it slow, and enjoying the journey.
With the newest collection from Kelly Bangs, “Roadside Daisies”, you have all you need to craft, document, and play with the idea of slowing down and taking in the moment. Flashcards and florals, patches and descriptive words, washi tape and labels, not to mention the cutest paper designs - she has thought of everything! And don’t get me started on the ephemera…
…To late - Let me tell you all about it! Five pages of the cutest ephemera you’ve ever seen! The bright color palette mixed with vintage signs, roadtrip snacks and treats, butterflies and bumblebees, is just begging to be used. While there is a nod to her native state (hello Arizona cacti!), you can use this collection to document any roadtrip. But not just that - this collection can easily be used for so many projects!
When first viewing this collection, several project ideas immediately came to mind:
-Documenting a roadtrip of course! But not just documenting after - what a fun way to invite your friends and family on a roadtrip! You could create invitations, and include a spot on the back for their favorite photo from the upcoming trip as a keepsake!
-You could create any manner of cards such as birthday, encouragement, thank you, or friendship. This theme is so cute that is spans many different celebrations and seasons of life.
-You could also use the pieces to create a scene for a scrapbook spread or scrappy journal! Document that roadtrip, or use the spread to journal about a past or upcoming trip. With this collection, you have so many options to customize for your specific needs.
-Create gift bag embellishments or gift tags! Add that extra sparkle to a gift for a loved one. It could even be a keepsake they treasure long after the bag is gone.
The possibilities are endless, and you’ll want to take your time and slowly go through each page of this amazing set. Each time I take another look I find a new item I didn’t see before! Take your time and explore, slow down, and soak it all in - after all - Kelly has perfectly captured the last days of summer with this collection, inviting you to slow down and enjoy the ride. Check it out and grab your “Roadside Daisies” collection today.
Joyful Blessings, Sarah Marie
