This layout was for the challenge of paper piecing. I didn't really want to do a lot of piecing-I wanted the focus on Ellie's first birthday and I really wanted to use as many photos as possible. I paper pieced the candles and then I added big heart rhinestones for the flames....something about rhinestones lately...can't get enough of them!
This layout was for the $5.00 challenge. I bought two sheets of purple cardstock, 1 sheet of black, eight flowers, eight brads, and 1 yard of ribbon. My receipt is below to prove that it is possible to create a cute double page spread for less than $5.00!
The retreat is starting on Thursday! I'm getting excited, but I have so much to do to get ready and I feel overwhelmed this time. I'm not as organized as I would like to be...oh well, even if I get nothing done, I will have fun! It will be great to get away for a few days- no diapers to change, no noses to wipe, no carpooling to driver's ed, no kids fighting....
I really like both of these layouts. I take it you got your photos from Walgreen's. What did you think of them? How was the service?
ReplyDeleteI have actually been to Walgreens twice now and have had no trouble either time. I have been the only one at the kiosk both times so I didn't feel rushed. The pics were done in less than an hour. I think it is slightly more expensive, but if you factor how much extra I spend walking around Walmart for an hour, I am probably saving money!
