I'm here!

[ChrissyTina]

Onto page 1! Now the fun is getting started!





I used to different patterns for my first page. I like to be frugal so I cut only what I would need.



This is the second pattern I used for my first page.

After both papers are chalked and glued, this is what you have:

Im late, but here.

No worries if you are late! Just jump right on in!

Dawn! Sit down! Stop making faces behind my back!

I like the idea of using 2 on one page. I am going to copy your idea. I am making it for my mil's bday but we are going to take special pics of the boys holding happy bday Grammy signs.

Next, EMBELLISHMENT!



Once again, I used my handy dandy circle punch to punch the flower paper. I also inked the edges of both the circle paper and the cs sticker. Glue the floral sticker down and adhere the cs sticker using a pop-dot or some other dimensional adhesive.



Next, I just added some rick-rack to cover the seam.



Next, I grabbed a flower and my chalk and lightly chalked it to give an "aged" sort of look. I suck at painting and stuff, so this technique works perfect for me!



This will be the flower center. I just used a button and some twine.



This is the finished flower.

Finally, put it all together.



I used pop dots to adhere my photo. I love dimension when it comes to these things.

Awesome! I really like mixing patterns and color. It adds a lot of visual interest to the album and still gives each page it's own personality.

Just to give you guys a heads up, if I suddenly disappear for a moment, it's because I'm having to sign back in. For some reason, I'm getting kicked off the server.

You have to clear your cookies, you can do it just before signing in, it helps

For page 2, we will be using different patterns and recycling a piece of the packaging from the paper kit!



Once again, cut your paper to size and punch the hole. (I forgot to take a pic after I punched the hole.)

Here's where you'll need that packaging:



Since I only need a strip of paper, why hack into a whole piece? Just use the strip from the cover page of the paper pack!

Once you get your strip cut, go ahead and adhere it to the page.



Next, I wrote my caption onto a cs sticker.

Ah! Thanks!

[ChrissyTina]

Finally, using some ribbon, twine, and a button from my stash, I glued it all on. The caption sticker is pop dotted and my photo is wallet size. I also used a red pen and doodled little designs on the corners of the page.

You are welcome, I have had the same trouble until I noticed the hint just before loggin again

Page 3 is super easy!

Once again, cut your paper to size and punch the hole. I'm sensing a pattern! Are you?







This is really all there is to this page. I just used a round corner punch to punch the corners of my photo. I cut the image from one of the pp's and used simple black photo corners to adhere it. I pop dotted a few of the letters in the title to give it some depth and interest. As for the "That's Swell!", that is one of the cs stickers from this line...which I pop dotted (of course!)!

A personal side note: This one was my hubby's favorite page!!

[ChrissyTina]

And on that note: LOOK! It's a drive by!!!
