Rachel Etrog - Live Love Travel
Rachel has a great travel themed collection for July's BYOC sale at The Lilypad called Live Love Travel
Curio Pantry - Cottage Retreat
I squealed to myself last week when I found out that Jessica Dunn of Curio Pantry will be a guest designer at The Lilypad. I took the chance ad approached her to be a part of her CT team and she said yes! So here I am on another team... mainly just at The Lilypad for Jess for now.
For this month's BYOC she has a lovely kit called Cottage Retreat on offer.
I used ninigoesdigi Scrapbook Foundation template for my layout

Miss Fish - Capturing Magic
Juli has a very Disney-focused bundle for this month's Buffet sale at Gingerscraps called Capturing Magic
As we haven't been to Disney I have had to stretch myself for my layouts and will even go off-theme on some.
