\t Ah, the lazy days of summer.  Everyone has their own ways to enjoy these languid summer days, and we look forward to them all winter.  This week, the Digi CT is sharing some of their summer traditions with you, in layout form.  Hopefully, these layouts will inspire you to scrap your own summer traditions, or even create some new ones!<\/p>\n

\tGrace Island Picnic<\/a> by Keling\/Sara:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\t\"\"<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\tSara explains, "One of my favourite summer traditions, that I've missed these last 2 years since we've been in the UK, is our annual church picnic, usually on the Thursday of Cupmatch (1st Thursday in August or the last in July, depending on how the 1st of August falls). Years ago, we used to go out to Ports Island every year, but now, the whole church boats out to Grace Island for a fun day of food, fellowship and fun! We're just missing it this year – Cupmatch is yesterday and today, and so the church picnic would have been yesterday! My layout features photos from the event in 2007, when DH's family were visiting us in from England!

\tTraveling to Seoul<\/a> by milmomma\/Brittney:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\t\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\t"To me," Brittney says, "this means a summer road trip in a very hot car with too many bodies. A foreign bed and fast food. Oddly, I love this tradition of summer vacations and have started doing it more with my family."

\tRonny created this incredible acrylic, hybrid album and tells us, "We have tons of things we like to do during the summer but our summer garden has become something we just can't live without in the last 5 years.

\tKristi says, "There is one thing that makes my summer perfect… spending time at home with the family, doing not much of anything. LOL BBQing, swimming, celebrating birthdays, as long as the family is together.
