WRMK Chalkboard

I was in love with this one as soon as I saw the sneak peeks! I paid $12.99 for it at Archivers with a coupon. WRMK kits are a great buy even at full price; Each kit has 48 sheets of paper (4 of each design), 5 sheets of cardstock, a sticker sheet and 4 or 5 die cuts.

I got 15 bases, and I still have a nice pile of scraps and about 20 or so full sheets that I'm gifting to someone else to play with.

I cut a weird color out that I didn't like and then pop dotted the paper on black cardstock. My plan is to attach photos and/or journaling cards with TH mini paper clips at the openings.

I spent a crazy amount of time fussy cutting flowers and leaves out of a sheet or two of paper, so they were definitely going to get used!

 Based on a photo of a Scrapbook Generation layout I saw online. I was looking at the sheet with different borders strip patterns and thought, "I wonder..."

I originally envisioned a "me and you" layout, but as I was taking pictures I was also thinking it could be a "me and the girls" layout, too.

I challenged myself to do a layout with this green color, which is most definitely not on my go-to colors list. I'm not fond of it, but love the rest, so this may be the only base that gets passed along.       

Tennessee album

I did this album last year at our 3 day crop, but there are a couple layouts that still need journaling, and all of them need the "adventure number" filled in, but I want to make absolutely certain that I have all the layouts I want in there so they don't get misnumbered. But I want to get them up here before I forget and another 6 months go by without posting them.

Still need to do the title and itinerary pages.

These two have been posted before (from a Studio Calico kit):

 

 Originally when I was making page kits for the album, Rick had helped me pick some nice green Heidi Swapp letters for the title. They added a nice pop of color, but I just couldn't bring my self to highlight "hooker" in such a way, lol. Looking at it now, it needs something over there, so I will probably add some green twine.

 I so love the Simple Stories Take a Hike line and will miss it when I run out. Silhouette cut title.

 Simple Stories Summer Fresh for the main Dollywood pics....my favorite line from them, ever. I am almost completely out now, sniff.

 

 This one still needs a lot of journaling, to cover the specs of the ride, Brandon (the roller coaster hater) riding because it looked cool, Paige deciding to ride at the last minute on round 2 because it looked cool, and me riding and everyone having to hang out for 10 minutes because I was too pale/green to move much.

 At first I wasn't fond of OA Sasparilla, but I got it at a great price on clearance, and I absolutely love how this layout turned out. "mountain" cut on the Cameo from a free font.

 

 BH sketch. Still needs the title (Silhoutte cut "Great Smokey Mountain National Park" that I have to figure out if I want to leave as an outline font or fill in)

 Had to use wood veneer arrows to point out how close Rick is to the bear. I really like doing a full page title.

 Silhouette store title. (hidden meaning: 9 wooden hearts for 9 of us on vacation)

 And here is where I started getting lazy on Sunday about titles and journaling.  I really need to make sure that it is clear that Brandon was not doing the moonshine tasting, lol. He was just fluoxomed by his parents knocking back "baby shots" of 4 or 5 kinds of moonshine.

 I think I finally decided to do the title running up the left side and journaling running down the right side.

 This story (about Brandon reading the Percy Jackson books and wanting to visit the places, and Brooke's "how awkward!" in the art museum section that had a few nudes) will definitely be typed!

Still need the title and journaling.

AC MyGirl

I chopped up this collection last November but apparently never posted the pics. It is a verrrry girly collection, but I really liked it and enjoyed playing with it. I paid $6.99 and got 16 bases and 3 cards out of it, and still have a decent pile of scraps. A pulled a couple for me to use, and the rest will go to my sister.
