I have been busy working in my craft room and if you looked inside you would think a tornado hit it!! I have a challenge and daily project coming up the first of the week and wanted to finish up my oldest angel girl Mary-Kate's 2010 album. This is the last layouts I had to do and I put it off because I was not sure what to do. She had a dance recital and they danced to a Hannah Montana song so I thought I would country it a little. They wore flannel shirts and jeans so I made my layout look plaid. Used a little country fonts and it turned out ok. Not real thrilled, but this one was hard. I used the cartridges Hannah Montana , Old West, and County Fair. Below the picture are the cut measurements. My second project is a picture of two of my grandchildren while on vacation at Hilton Head this year. I wanted a new picture for my beachy bathroom so this is what I came up with and used Life's a Beach.

The fastest project I ever made!

My granddaughter Katie age 8 years old went to see Taylor Swift in concert Saturday night and they took some pictures. I got them late on Sunday so spent Monday putting her a little book together to take to her on Tuesday. I used the cartridges Quarter Note and Hannah Montana. I did the book from Bind It All and I modge podge the cover since it would be handled quite a bit with her enjoying the pictures from her concert evening. She really liked this book even though her Nana put it together quickly!!
