New Layouts

I made these LO a while back for Edwin's album about him becoming a citizen. I did a few more but haven't taken pics of them yet. Since this was a very patriotic event and the party was on the 4th of July, I'm doing the album in red, white, & blue.
The right side is a hand-held fan from the party that I took apart and adhered to the page. I then printed the Pledge of Alleigience on vellum and put over the flag fan.
His naturalization certificate clearly states it's not to be copied or reproduced in any way. Yeah whatever, I needed a copy for my scrapbook!
On the right side I punched the large tag with a border punch to give it a little more pizzazz.
I used leftover party invitations as the PP on this page. I also cut one in half and used the inside as part of the journaling for the page.

Hopefully, I'll have many more layouts to post next week. I'm doing the marathon crop at Scrapbook & Co. this weekend. I really need to be productive, I'm way behind. The problem is I like to talk and be social a little too much. I'm determined to get lots done this weekend so don't take it personally if I'm not as social as usual.

Thanks for looking and have a great week! Can't wait for Friday!!!!

Journal

This is a composition book I decorated into a journal for one of Christine's friends. We gave it to her for her birthday along with a couple of cute necklaces. She really liked it. I used Glimmer Mist on the green border (it was ivory colored). I also used GM on the large flower under the red one (it was white). I glued strips of ribbon to the inside of the front and back covers and then tied the strips into a bow.
I will try to post recent layouts tomorrow. I need to take pictures and load them to the computer. I'm too tired tonight, I've been loading pictures to my computer and ordering them online through Walgreens. I had about 500 pictures to go through and order. Guess I better get busy and do some serious cropping.
