July SOTM: Live Out Loud and Perfect Pair!

There is nothing like coming home to technical difficulties. The desktop which I normally do all my work off of has decided it hates it's own hard drive, and refuses to boot or log into the internet. So I'm on the Macbook instead... which has none of the image editing options I'm used to.

This is one of the beaches I visited around Albuferia, Portugal. It is a sleepy little town but has seven million beaches which is up my alley. The weather was gorgeous and I had a great time - it was difficult to leave. 

July brings a neat promotion - Perfect Pair! Each week brings a new pair of paper and coordinating embellishment for free with a minimum 75$ purchase. This upcoming week is the Dreamin' paper packet and Harvest Charms for a retail value of $14.90 CAD, which is available from July 6 - 10. I absolutely love this paper packet! Karen Pedersen has all the photos of each product here: http://karenpedersen.blogspot.ca/2012/07/photos-of-free-perfect-pairs-and-some.html 

And the best for last - July's SOTM is Live Out Loud. 

This set would be perfect for embellishing any card or scrapbook layout! Often I know I'm used to just putting images and the odd item on the front of the card, but these options are just screaming for the front of any card to make it pop, or the perfect touch to a scrapbook layout. 

For all my Calgary readers, Happy Stampedin'; and for those not in Calgary, hope you are enjoying summer as it is finally here! 

Now if I could just get my computer back up and running...
