HATS OFF TO THE GRAD - LO

Here is another graduation LO that I just completed. That is 2 down, I must be on a roll. The LO is a page kit from Cut-it-Up. I love their page kits, they are quick and most of the work is done, you just put them together and add your own touch to them. They always include a lot more die cuts and paper pieced items to complete the LO's, but I only use half of the kit so I can add more pics. Most of their directions only show one pic on a LO. Considering I take a ton of pics, I would never ever get half of my photos scrapped if I followed their LO suggestion. LOL

HOORAY FOR THE GRADUATE - LO

As you can see I am very behind on my LO's. By the time I get caught up with Britt's high school years she will have children in high school that I need to scrapbook. LOL

I just finished this one last week of Brittany's high school graduation. I paper pieced the rolled diploma and cap from a pattern by Cropy Cats. The title is cut from the Alphalicious Cricut cartridge and the "08" is cut from the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge.

SENIOR BALL - LO

I have a new obsession. It is hand stitching. After completing the card in my previous post and hand stitching on it, I have become hooked. I like the texture it adds without seeming overdone.

Here is a LO that I completed last night of Brittany's Senior Ball pics from last year. It took me this long to figure out how I wanted to scrap them. I wanted something pretty but not too cute. Something simple but elegant too. I recently purchased some Bazzill In Stitch'z templates for the first time and I LOVE them!! I will definitely be buying more.

I used the Bazzill In Stitch'z Formal Flourish template. The white paper flowers are Flora Doodles by Petaloo and the yellow "bling" are Gemstones from Hero Arts. You really can't tell from the pic but the stitches are a pale yellow that matches the color of her dress.
