Little Fish layout

Hello my crafty friends! Today I'm thinking and praying for those that lost loved ones 10 years ago! I can't believe that it's been 10 years! Little Stinkerbella and I are going downtown this evening to a special program for 9/11. i'm looking forward to coming together as a community and remembering those brave men and women! God bless America!

I'm really trying to catch up on Little Stinkerbella's pages! Here's a layout I did of my little fish...

 One of my "new" favorite things to do...I use my Gypsy to search for any words that may be part of my title! The "little" was from part of a title on Graphically Speaking. It said "a little.." I hid the "a" and just glittered up the "little." The fish is from From My Kitchen.

The waves are from Life's a Beach. I used Glossy Accents and some pearl glitter to add dimension.

 I cut this cute little fish from Life's a Beach and then cut the layers to match Stinkerbella's swimsuit.

I found a cute little swimsuit on A Child's Year cart and then just cut off the ruffled skit. I also decorated the swimsuit to match Stinkerbella's and then used it for my journaling spot! Side note...I really don't like my handwriting, but I think that it is important to write on some of your layouts...one day I think Little Stinkerbella will be glad I did!

I also used little pebbles around the page to simulate bubbles, and my handy dandy circle punch to add behind the pictures.

I have been scrapping a lot lately and have many pages to share with you, including another page I did with my Imagine (in only an hour and a half!!!)! Thanks for stopping by today! <3Kristy

She's An American!

Our fabulous Science Teacher is from Holland, and she officially became an American citizen, this week! Of course, the fantastic Second grade team had to make her something! Krista had the great idea of getting her a ton of "American" food items, Christianna went shopping for us, and I put it all together into an American basket!

 We filled it with all sorts of American treats! Some of the treats include: everything you need to make Smores, Cracker Jacks, Vermont Maple Syrup, Jack Daniels BBQ sauce, New England Clam Chowder, beer, mini flags, and of course an apple pie!

I used my Gypsy to make the "signs." The red doily is from Cherry Limeade, the blue circle is from Stand and Salute, the pie is from From My Kitchen, and the letters are from Winter Woodland.

I also embossed the letters with the Tim Holtz Notebook folder, popped up the apple pie, and then taped them onto dowels (that I had my super hubbie cut for me!).

I stuck them into the basket and added a super glittery red star, and ribbon to the handle.

Congrats Herma, we adore you!
