Are you ready to get started with the hop? First up is our guest designer for July - Lauren.

First a little about Lauren...

Hi, I'm Lauren and I'm from Philadelphia, PA. I've been married to my husband Mike for 8 years and we have two furbabies. I work at a yearbook publishing company, so I am always looking at yearbook layouts for scrapbooking ideas. I started scrapbooking 14 years ago and I am absolutely obsessed. My other hobbies include photography, reading, gardening, and cooking/baking. I love to travel, and that provides so many scrapportunities for layouts. You can find my blog at http://lem-photography.blogspot.com/.

Here is "Snippet" of Lauren's layout and the rest of the DT

... Hop along all the way through to see the rest!!

First, your challenge .. Buttons! We are looking for buttons, buttons everywhere on those layouts this week! Be creative, have fun and hey, go a little out of your box if you like! Some of us have gotten a little creative with this challenge using buttons this week. So watch out for some awesome inspiration! Don't worry, you have till August 1 to enter this hop along with all the challenges for the month of August. This ones just a little extra special :)
