Black Friday

I am really happy the way this layout turned out. First of all, I printed out these photos from my new printer so that in itself was awesome. Also if you notice, the two small pictures that are in color, as also black and white around the edges. Thanks to my printer I was more confident in applying more digital techniques to my pictures. The title "Black" is made out of rub-ons and it has the texture of the paper under it. I embossed a "3" on one of the tags. I only wish I had a little clock item to add to the whole layout. The border was hand drawn and the parenthesis are from thin chipboard. I really loved the results.

Swapping with Nancy

Nancy,

These are the last of your pages that I will be sending in this week. I hope that you like the first two, I know that you don't like color blocking that much, but I think they came out pretty cute, the whole page has a lot of glitter so I hope you enjoy the bling also. It wasn't easy doing the page with the Zach and Lacy pictures, because I wanted to do a double page layout, but I didn't really see any other pictures that I liked that much, so I just ended up with this, which I think came out pretty cool either way. I was happy because I was able to use my big stamp in the background and my very decorative stamp all over the heart. I also sanded the ages of the picture and added lots of cute buttons. Didn't know what to add at the top with the little slider thingy, so that is up to you.

Caro :o)

Bubbles

Nancy, I really hope that you like this layout. It is one of my favorites of all time from the ones I have done. It took me a while to create all the transparent elements, but it was all worth it for this cute awesome layout. Notice the little safety pins with the beads. The only thing that this layout needs is some journaling.

12x12 layouts by Nancy

These layouts I liked as well. But to be honest (cuz you told me too) I think that the first one is a little to plain for my taste. BTW what do you think I should add to the blue tags on the second layout?

Nancy,

Some people don't use flowers for layouts with boys, but you make them look grate with your choice of colors, I like the brown and blues that you used for the firsts and last layout. The middle layout with the background picture with the whole pile of papers is really cool and I really like it, specially since I would never had used the pictures that way. Thanks, I really loved your layouts.

Caro :o)

Nancy's layouts

Nancy,

I think these are my two favorite layouts from the ones that you sent me. I love the colors and I love the theme. I would have done the second picture more about them being brothers than about them singing, so the way you though about the whole thing really inspires me to look a thinsg a little different. I just love all the elements on these pages too. Love the paper clips on the top one and the stars, chain, picks, and tickets on the other one. It really gives these old pictures a great look. :o)

Falling Leaves

This is the September challenge for Divas 2 with the pictures in place. I only need to finish the journaling.

2007 album

Duke

Alright Nancy this is the layout I made with your pictures. Now please be completely honest and tell me if you like it or not. I don't want to send you something that you don't like, so please, if there is anything at all in your head that is bothering you about this layout, just let me know, and I will either fix it on the layout, or make you a whole new one. Now please, be completely honest.

My childhood

These are some really easy double page layouts that I made for some of my childhood pictures. They are just so easy to make and look great, they seriously just take a matter on minutes. From top to bottom the titles are as follow:

Barbie Love, Building from the ground up, Everyday Smiles, Jucaral, Tia Rosa, and Water love. (LOL I just realized I used "Something Love" in two layouts! Oh well...)

The tag on the layout title "Building from the ground up" was made in a dymo label maker with plain paper and then later inked to show off the letters better.

The last layout "Water Love" was created using the 12x12 efficiency cut technique, which of course makes making the page a whole lot easier.

4th of July

This is one of the layouts that I made for the 4th of July. I am not too crazy about it, but I still think it is kinda good. I had a hard time using the colors of the pattern papers because they are so muted. Well, at least I tried.

Daniel's album

I really can't do the journaling in this album because I don't have all of the information, so the tag at the top does the trick. The swirls at the top I made with the inked edge of a curled piece of paper.

Daniel's album

This is a picture of Daniel's grandfather from 1906. I decided to make the main photo into a big looking like stamp.
