My Buddy

So Taylor, being an 8th grader, was paired up with Kindergarten buddy for the whole year. This is a great bonding program with the "big kids" and "little kids" on campus. The 8th graders do a great job with all of the little buddies...

Here is Taylor and her little buddy at the Buddy Hello. I am doing 3 albums to give as gifts for the Buddy Program, so all layout will be done in 3's. Because of the number of 8th graders, some of them had to double up and share buddies and this is the case with Taylor, so I want to make sure the Taylor, her friend Erin and their little buddy Kayley all get albums at the end of the year.

BBTB Challenge: Priceless from Graphically Speaking

This week's challenge from BBTB was to use the "priceless" cut from Graphically Speaking. If you don't have Graphically Speaking, definately look into getting it. There are so many different cut on that cartridge. It seems like everytime I look at it, I see something that I have never seen before!!!

I needed to make a birthday card for Taylor's little Kindergarten buddy so I decided that the priceless cut would be perfect for the card...... the back of the card. You know how on every storebought card, there is a little barcode on the back of the card that is actually the price of it, well, I took that idea and put my own little twist on the barcode....

here is the front of the card...


and here is the back of the card with the priceless cut.....

Uber Cool with Lots of Attitude...

Now that Taylor is getting a little older (she is a teenager now) I don't get as many pictures of her as I used to. She is too busy with her own little social life now I guess. I found some pictures that she had taken of herself on her camera and decided to use those!!!!

Daddy's Girl

Well, here is a 2 pager for all of those "complainers" out there, lol. You know who you are.... I won't mention any names, but Wendy, I hope this one makes you happy!!!!

I had pictures of Lee and McKenzie watching the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus 3D concert on TV and really had no clue how to make it all gel. The colors are so out of whack with what I would consider normal "Hannah colors". Finally I started to make progress. This layout has been 2 weeks in the works and I am finally finished it!!!

One cool thing that I did was use alcohol inks to color the Prima stars. They were white and the new orange ones just came out but I didn't have those at home, so I started to play with what I had and was able to get the look I wanted without driving to buy one spray of orange glitter stars, lol. I just dabbed the white stars and the "stems" with alcohol ink using the little felt tool and it worked great!!!! I probably will only buy the white ones now and use my inks to color them whatever color I want!

BBTB Challenge: Pooh and Friends present

This week's BBTB Challenge was to use the present from the Pooh and Friends cartridge. I have to admit when the Pooh cartridges were released, I had to have them, but I have yet to use them. I hate when that happens! It felt good to pull one of them out of hiding for this challenge.

Kitz Girls Kit #1

Well, I finally had a chance to finish my layouts from the first Kitz 2 Go kit and I love how they turned out!!!! This is a new kit out there that is put together by a couple of friends of mine and they are doing a great job with it. Here are my layouts from the first kit....





I know this kit is completely sold out, but I think they have some of their 2nd kits still available. The 2nd kit was done with Webster's Pages and is gorgeous I tell you!!! I have also seen kit #3 and O.M.G. I can't even begin to tell you how gorgeous the layouts are. The great thing about this kit that sets it apart from others is that you get all supplies and instruction for two complete layouts! No more wondering how you are going to come up with something spectacular, they have already done that for you!
