DT July Assignment

This time we were not given any particular products to use--we got to use whatever we wanted! I had originally wanted to silhouette a picture, but it didn't happen on this one, but it will show up before we are through with our term!! Still on my Disney high (and since I have hundreds of pictures not even printed yet) I thought I'd use the "photo shoot" from Regan's Bippidi Boppidi
Boutique visit. I used Basic Gray "Euphoria" line--love the colors! One of the challenges was to use stamping to create a background. I got the Maya Road Royalty Crowns and used them as a stamp and then an embellishment. Another of the challenges was to use 5 different products from 5 different manufacturers. For the scallop trim I used the Bazill Borders in white, the title is the Basic Gray "Wilma" letters (my favorite), the pink and white flower brads are from the Doodlebug Boutique Brads in Cupcake, the "smile" chipboard is from Inqueboard Chipboard Accents w/ Crystal Effects added. And the one challenge that I included but may be pushing it is that we had to use something we hadn't in 3 or more years. Well, considering that I had just "cleaned" house and sold all of my old items at Janet's garage sale, I really didn't have anything. I was reading my Scrapbooks Etc magazine and they used a "shrinkable" material as an embellishment. I decided to try it, so I dug out the kids Shrinkydinks and made a slide for the ribbon to go through. It came out a little smaller than I hoped, but I thought it was different and I got to title it however I wanted!

Well, I finished my assignment but sadly there will be no silhouetting---this time! I totally screwed up and reversed the pages on my layout! I guess I got side tracked running my mouth again last night at the crop and did not pay attention to what I was doing. Yes, Monica, I am still stressin over it! Anyway, it totally changed how the photos are arranged and so, I can't silhouette the picture I was going to. But it is finished and done a week early! I can't wait to see what everyone has done. Here is a pic of my kids on their first day back to school! I am excited for them for all the new things they will learn and do and wish them the best! Good luck my babies!
