Here is a two page layout of the Weise reunion last June. I put the lines of photos a little bit askew to keep it from being too regimented. I love the journaling block from the MME die cut sheet that coordinated with this line. The tree is a clear accent also from MME. Of course I added buttons... layouts just aren't the same without a few buttons! :) The layout is better in real life... it was very tough to get a photo with no glare with these darn glossy photos!
Staying on the June 2008 theme, I moved to Uncle David's farm and the kids petting the goats. I was a bit nervous about the goats... they are not the little bitty breed and I AM a city girl after all. Luckily Uncle Donnie was there to show the girls that it wasn't scary. I just checked them out from a distance. I added some paper flowers from SEI's Mimosa line, a couple of Fancy Pants pins, and used part of a Prima stamp for the journaling lines. (Actually I stamped them and they weren't complete so I tried to put it back down and failed to ge the same spot... but I thought that the imperfect lines worked fine with the subject and kept them!)
The final June 2008 layout was the group at Pappasito's in Houston. I have been wanting to use a photo of a sign instead of a title... and here the restaurant sign fit the bill! You can see the green core on the brown torn edge... love it! Otherwise a simple layout... cardstock, patterned paper, a few MME die-cuts, buttons, and penwork.
I also did a couple of cards.... one anniversary card, since all guys needs a mushy card every now and then, right?! The Martha Stewart aquamarine glitter is for me though! :) ...and one card with a die cut tag, some of the Bazzil edge sprayed with Glimmer Mist, and a little ribbon. I'm not a great cardmaker, but this turned out very cute. I will probably be copying it with the tags I have left so that I can have a few more.
And a desktop caddy that I found the instructions for on Pinky's Much Ado about Nothing blog. It was the perfect project to feature these papers!
much love,
erin
