July is Paparazzi Month.

With each new month here on the Cartwheels site comes a new theme, and even though I didn't do so well at getting this concept out there to all of you in June, I promise we are going to do better about that in the future.

We have compiled a list of what I think are absolutely fabulous themes that will be used to inspire us (but not box us in) over the next few months and I really hope that you will all join in and help us take each one to the next level. And for July, we have decided to go with a paparazzi theme...with reality television and rehab bound young celebrities such a big thing in our culture right now, the paparazzi profession is bigger than ever...and let's be honest, scrapbook mothers being handed digital cameras can be just as bad if not worse when it comes to the obsessive photo taking. So let's figure out new creative ways to let this inspire our handmade art this month...and you can even use me as an excuse to force your kids to take a few extra photos at the zoo. :)

P.S. Here's two last scrapbook pages from Jen and Cindy inspired by our June Sweet Shoppe theme:

Last summer, my friend & photographer, Ali McLauglin, did our family photo shoot & this is one of the photos she took of the hubs & I. It was crowded downtown and lots of people watching. It was an awkward moment at the time, but fun, too. Yummy ice cream at the Fudge Factory hit the spot!!! -Cindy

Photo is just too cute! Love July's theme because my kiddos say I am the paparrazi since I'm rarely without my camera {always flashing it in their faces}! And lovely layouts too- very summery & refreshing!
