Rock Chick

This is a layout I did of my daughter rockin' out in her room as she ALWAYS does.  She loves her music and singing & dancing along.  I went in and took a video of her and did a freeze frame shot of this photo.

The back is a piece of gray cardstock.  The gray, black & red striped is from my stash.  Not sure what brand, line, etc.  I just remember I bought it because it matched her bedroom.  The red is just red cardstock from my stash.  The star paper is from a 4x6 mat stack from Fancy Pants Designs called Little Sport.  The music note paper is called Jazzy Music Note from The Paper Studio.  The Guitar stickers are Paper House 3D stickers.  The I (heart) Music, Make some Noise, Rock Chick, the green heart, green record, white music notes and the star stickers are from The Paper Studio Rock Chick stickers.  I used a print & cut file from Silhouette Studio for the ticket but changed the phrase and color.  The concert ticket was an image I found on Google and printed.  I also cut out three white Polaroid frames from my Silhouette Cameo and backed them with some of the star paper.  The black guitar pick was a print from that I added glossy accents to so it would look like plastic.  The red stars are punched from my new Martha Stewart Punch All Over the Page Heartbeat pattern punch.  I attached them with glossy accents.  The three black enamel dots are homemade enamel dots that I created by melting pony beads in my oven.  I got the idea from http://luvmyarmyboy.blogspot.com/2013/11/make-your-own-enamel-dots.html.

Swim team layouts


Two quick Swim team layouts.

One showing Laycie doing the butterfly stroke which is her best stroke.  It is the hardest stroke to do but it is her best.  In my opinion the backstroke is the easiest and that is her most difficult.  Go figure.

The other layout is of the team picture and her individual team pictures.  Just to document the 2013 swim team.


First ice skating

Layout I did of my daughter ice skating for the first time.  She went to North Carolina to visit her aunts, uncle and grandmother for Thanksgiving and her aunt took her ice skating.  She was scared and never left the wall of the rink so I did a rink shape and put the photos around it as if she were going around.  I added some ice cycles to the top and in the bottom right corner is the text message that she posted on Instagram where she told me she was going ice skating and I told her not to crack her butt.  I added a couple of ice skater silhouettes and a tag with an ice skater for the first part of the title.  The tile is Ice Skating in North Carolina.  The journalling is simple strips of paper.  Pretty much everything on this layout was cut with my Silhouette Cameo.  I created the background by cutting various snowflake shapes from repositionable contact paper and putting them all over a white piece of 12x12 card-stock and misting with gray and blue Mr. Huey's mist.  I love the way it turned out.

Pointe Shoes in the Park

This is another layout of pictures taken of my daughter & friends in the park on their point shoes.  The background paper is from The Paper Loft Autumn Splendor Orchard.  the wood grain is from my stash so I don't remember what brand it is.  The quote in the bottom left is from Quick Quote the butterfly in the bottom left is something else from my stash.  The fairy is from a stamped image swap.  The butterfly stamp is from my stash and I don't remember the brand of that either.  The flowers are from the Dollar Tree.  This layout is simple and quick but I really like how it turned out.  I like how the photos look being placed to look sort of rounded.

Instagram

My daughter posted her words of wisdom on Instagram along with a "selfie".  I remembered when I was seventeen and when my older girls were seventeen.  That seems to be the magic age when all girls are sure they have all the answers to life's toughest questions.  Oh how I wish I was as smart as I thought I was when I was seventeen.

Fall Layout #2

This is the second layout of the girls fall photo shoot in the park.  The paper and title are from the Echo Park/Lori Whitlock Reflections Fall kit.  The journal block and two phrase blocks are from Quick Quotes and the floral elements are from Dollar Tree.
