I started out thinking I was going to do this layout with Soft Sky, Blue Bayou and Close to Cocoa but then I looked at it and thought this is boring! So I took my inspiration from the address label on the left page, the palm tree sunset. That's how I ended up with Summer Sun and Pumpkin Pie, and I just loved the Indiana Jones-style letters ;)
Page base is Chocolate Chip, and the photos are matted in Soft Sky. The letters are cut out of Summer Sun and sponged with Pumpkin Pie ink; the flowers are from Bodacious Bouquet and how happy was I to play with that set again, I still love it. The stamped letters are an alphabet I got from Unity Stamp Co.
I think this is a lot more energetic and fun than my original idea, I'm pretty happy with it! My DH and I call our house the typhoon shelter; in North Carolina our house was the bomb shelter

Love the Indie letters too! Seems like my latest color choices of orange and brown are starting to rub off on you. I like how you pushed the photos up to the edge on the top AND bottom and put the title between. I gotta try that!

I love this page. You do such a great job with your LO, using multiple photos. I love the Indiana Jonesish title and the placement of it right in the center of 2 pages.
