Here is Marnie’s 100 Days of Summer so far. So, I did May on two pages and before that a title page for 100 Days of summer (not depicted). I’m not doing title pages for each month, so I started June on the next layout! I’m using the tiny number stickers on the 100 Days of Summer sticker sheet in the corners of my photos.  I’ve since added some buttons and gems and stickers to finish it off.

I’ve been using the We R Memory Keepers multi-pocket page protectors and the 100 Days of Summer paper from Simple Stories.
