Another Page of Kristin's Scrapbook!

Hello my friends…. Kristin’s graduation party is Saturday and thus I’m working my fingers to the bone trying to finish her scrapbook!!

My niece has made a “promise” to God of “celibacy” and wears a ring to symbolize this. I had never heard of this before I’m ashamed to say, but upon hearing this, I’m very very proud of her especially with how today’s society is!

With this being said, I have made another page for her scrapbook symbolizing this with Little Scraps of Heaven’s Promise Kid, http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/item_212/I-am-a-Promise-Girl.htm

God Bless and thank you for stopping by

All American

I'm delighted to once again be featured as a Guest Designer for my sweet blogger friend Lynne. I decided since this was an important assignment, I wanted to create a page that was important to me as well. 
I was born in Canada and only up until the last election, did I have the opportunity to VOTE in the election since I applied for my United States Citizenship and became American after approximately 35 years in Florida.
I studied page after page of American history and passed the famous test so that I could get my US passport and do what I always wanted to do in this country.........

V O T E !! 

For most of you reading this, it's no big deal, but as an adult citizen, it was something I always wanted to do! Beside, it was something else I could check off my Bucket List!!
So, here is the 2 page lay out I created to celebrate my US citizenship. I used paper and embellishments from Quick Quotes and the paper is called Just Jackson. Simply Charmed was the cart I used to cut out the "All American". The corners were punched using a MS corner punch...I love that punch!

Now, comes the challenge making a lay-out for a graduation using Mickey and friends.. Kristin is a “Make-a-Wish” recipient that had the wish for a Disney cruise and my sister had been employed at a Disney store …. Now, this truly a Disney family!!!

First, I would love to introduce you to my niece Kristin, 2012 Graduate of South Park High School

This is the first of my two (2) lay-outs for you today. Minnie is cut at 6.25-inches using the Mickey and Friends Cricut Cartridge. 

The year is cut using Tear Drop Cricut Cartridge. 

The mortarboard hat is cut using Everyday Paper Dolls with a pearl bling for the tassel.

Don't you just love the star photo mat which is Designs on Cloud 9 Photo Mat Fun

The total finished project for first page - 

Now, for the second page:

Now, I have to tell you that I was inspired and "scraplifted" with permission from Lucy Kelleher but made it into a motarboard with the ears!

Kristin's name is cut using Tear Drop Cricut Cartridge

Pat Catan's has the local schools both names and logo's in their crafting paper - saw it and I knew I just had to have it!!

Again, I used the Designs on Cloud 9 Photo Mat Fun for Kristin's pictures
