Purple and embossing calendar week 7

 This weeks challenge at the Craft Barn is purple and embossing and had an idea but couldn't decide which way to go so did them both! (Though must say that on the blog the dark purple background looks much better while in real life it's the paler one- it also shows the embossing better too)
July always reminds me of the holidays- 6 weeks in my case!So decided to do a calendar of the men in my life with pics from this years holiday as this will probably be the last with our oldest as he's now at uni.  
Lastly thank you very much for your kind comments on last weeks calendar page they were very much appreciated x

    I like them both Jenni. The flowers seem to 'pop' more against the darker background but the lighter one is fresh and summery. Great pages! xx

    What a difference it makes changing the background from light to dark. They both look good but the pics really pop from the dark background.

    Both lovely fun pages, my favorite is the lighter one as the embossing pops out so well.

    Both are lovely, but as you asked, I prefer the lighter one to the first one.
    Thanks for playing
