Hip-Hop!!!
This is our final hip-hop for 2008.
Angela has some amazing things planned for Unity in 2009
so let's finish off this year with a flourish and head on into 2009!
I have a couple of things to share today. The first is a layout that I created titled, You're Not my Little Boy Anymore. Funnily enough, the first thing that my DH said when I handed him this layout was, "Wow! He's so tall." So it's not just me that feels like that when I look at this photo of 13 year old DS.
The journaling on this says, "I look at this photo and all I see is that you aren't my little boy anymore. You are getting so big, becoming so composed, finding your true-self. I'm so proud of you!"
You may recognize the overall design of this layout. Yes, I used Amber's card sketch this week to give me the inspiration for how to lay out my scrapbook page. Thanks Amber!
Supplies used:
*Unity Stamp Co. Our life, Our Stories
*Unity Stamp Co. Hullabaloo
*Scenic Route paper (red)
*Basic Grey paper (dk. brown)
*Bazzill Kraft
*American Crafts alpha stickers
*Making Memories bitty alpha stickers
*Heidi Grace brads
*brown inkpad
My second project to share today was inspired by a post that Angela made on the Unity SCS forum looking for a CHA make-n-take. I love challenges like this (to create something super-fun, with loads of visual impact, but with minimal supplies & effort.) And this is what I came up with...
It's just a fun little sign. I have mine hanging off the door handle to my stamp room, but you could use it as a luggage tag or hanging off a tote bag...just a fun little thing to have.
Supplies used:
*Unity Stamp Co. Worn Music Background
*Unity Stamp Co. Remember Happiness (flowers)
*Unity Stamp Co. Cocktail Party (chandalier)
*Take Note Die Cut (Stampin Up)
*Mini punch (stampin Up)
*sentiment done on the computer in Word
*Martha Stewart bling
*American Crafts ribbon
*Rhonna Farrer paper (pink)
