Anyone that has met our Hannah Banana will truly appreciate these photos! She is such a ham & knows how to play it up to the nines! My first try with the Crafter's Workshop doodling templates - LOVE them! I was able to scroll over the photos with ease using the white uni-ball gel pen. I use the free program by Google - Picasa2 to achieve the spot colouring on her hat. This is an amazing program & it's totally FREE!

* Scalloped paper by Autumn Leaves

* Sugar Daddy Bazzill Bling c/stock

* rub-ons by Autumn Leaves

... simple, yet it says it all. Using an 8x12 enlargement from Costco, I slightly trimmed the main photo down to fit inside the scalloped paper. Using my Mega Clever Lever punch, I added a black & white version of the same photo. The buttons swirled down the side offers a unique look.

* Coffee Bean Dew Drop ink

* Crystal Stickles

* copper brads by Making Memories

For those that know me, I am an ink & Stickle freak! Around the matting of this photo I have inked the edges, then applied crystal stickles over top. This gives a fabulous look! Whenever you are looking for a complimentary colour to matte photos with, check the backside of your patterned paper - many companies offer double-sided papers that work hand-in-hand.

* Beautiful Kit by Ninabrook

* Coffee Bean Ink Pad

Ninabrook Kits are in a word, amazing! To complete the above, I supplied an ink pad, my trimmer & adhesive. Everything else is provided, along with detailed instructions. I simply adore these photos of Hannah - I love that her face is not showing. Photos taken from behind offer a special feeling like no other.

* Bisous PDQ Tropical

* Bisous Chipboard Shapes - Tropical

* Phrase Cafe Stickers (What I wish for you)

When I was first introduced to the PDQ line by Bisous, I had no idea just how quickly pages could come together! The double-sided papers are of cardstock quality with incredible patterns & colours! Looks like I spent hours! The matching chipboard shapes by Bisous offers you the freedom to add your own personal style to every page!

* Papers by Basic Grey & Bo-Bunny

* "Believe" - Opposites Attract Cricut

* Christmas Red & Holly Stickles

* Christmas #1 Brad Buddies

* "KID" Hannah KOlogy Chipboard

* Large Glitter Brads by Imaginisce

* Clever Lever Mega Square Punch

* Stardust Roll-on Glitter Pen

These layouts mean so much to me for many reasons ... I used the Opposites Attract Cricut cartridge for "Believe" and the smaller words. Enhancing the pine needles with my glitter roll-on pen added a lot to this paper by Basic Grey. In the 2nd layout, I have torn a sheet of Bo-Bunny Irridesent paper & added in on top of the Basic Grey paper. Both the words "Believe" & "heart" have been enhanced with Stickles ... adding Stickles over your die-cut titles is a fantastic way to add that bling! A special hug to Uncle Pat for being the best Santa (& Uncle) EVER! xoxo
