All that Jazz

 I love Basic Grey! The papers are so fun and whimsical!  Sometimes I look at myself and go yikes how can I put those crazy patterns together.  This layout id that to me.....Somehow though when the papers layered together they still look great.  Here is a fun photo tip: if you are like me and take photos of busy children, such as the dance photos int his layout.  Crop your photos in a unique way to give them like a film strip look in order to gather the focus of the photo onto your little person.  Sienna and Montana had lots going on in these photos so it was a challenge to get the focus on them! I think it was a success!!!

Like chipboard?  I love it, I also have a sick obsession with washi tape!  I combined the two on these banner wood  pieces and added some test washi to give it some playfullness!!!!

Best in Show

I love these girls!  They are neighbors and friends and they dance together too!  You could call that a tripple-threat!  I love it!  I enjoyed the basic grey papers with whimsical colours to match so perfect with the Tatum and Sienna's costumes...crazy clowns!  I pulled in some sky blue CTMH cardstock to match Melina's costume!  They all danced beautifully and I am so proud of our girls!!!!

Lily

Awe Lily, you are one of the weirdest cats I have ever known. We have so many names for you, the kids call you LiL, and sometimes "rat-tail" cuz your tail is so small.  You are so small, really,  And sometimes we call you "Spill" because your belly spills out when you sit down!  Thats love Lily!  I enjoyed making this single page layout.  The vibrant blues of this photo called for a striking page so I used a grain pattern from Kaiser Kraft and their denim as well. CTMH cardstock to break it up a bit.  Then load it up with flowers and embellies.  I love this page, the best part if the pipe cleaner flowers.  I learned the day that I made this page when I was at Unique Retreat, a number of teachers were also there and they told be they are called cochineal sticks....I laughed and laughed, seriously??/!!!!  

Honey Do-er

I love this page, the paper was just wild and I wasn't sure how I would make it work! I just loved the mustaches!!!!  The colour of GG's sweater was perfect match so off I went and I am so proud of the results.  One thing I have always found with paper is that you cannot let the patterns fool you they match as long as there are like colour s and some subtle patterns you can really have some fun with it!
