ready for another one? i printed out these photos from the girls first day of school last july. well, the first day of school was last july … i printed these photos this week. lol! i had an idea for this when i started … and i'm really surprised at how quickly it all came together.
i found this old cork paper by karen foster in my stash … it's real cork with a sticker backing. i just tore a piece off of one side … and used the large piece on the layout. also used some older KI memories pattern paper and some of the newer lace paper. i added brads and eyelets on the lace paper … it's been ages since i've used eyelets. other goodies are heidi swapp large ghost star (which i painted blue), hero arts stitched circle stamp, and other making memories embellishments.
then i was trying to pick out my title letters. i wanted to use these chipboard letters from making memories … but the only "s" i had was orange. so i found a plain, raw "s" and figured i'd paint it pink. only the pink didn't quite match the other pink on the "o". so i thought i'd stamp something on the "s" thinking that might help … even took out some white stamp ink that i've never tried. but that wasn't quite right either. long story short … i wish the "s" matched the "o" better. lol! i know, i worry too much sometimes!
and speaking of making memories … go browse their new website. i noticed tonight that it's got a new look … and all sorts of info and pics of all their newest products. and i wasn't going to make a big deal about this … but i have to share because i'm so over-the-moon excited. now when you visit the MM blog … you can find me by looking under the "designers blogs" on the sidebar! i'm sure you all know that i'm a huge fan of the company … have been for years and years. and i'm also sure you know that i've been very fortunate to have done some fun things for them this past year or so … because i love sharing. what you may not know … is that all this time i've never been sure how "official" i was. i know, i'm such a dork sometimes. lol! but i can now say that i AM official … i am part of the team! i am totally honored and appreciative for the opportunity … and look forward to being part of this amazing team! so thank you MM!!!
