My Summer Girls (tons of photos!)

This mini album will be featured in the August Scrapbook Trends Magazine 2010.

This little mini records what the girls and I have been up to so far this summer.

All of the paper is BasicGrey Lemonade and the album and embellishments are Maya Road.

That magnetic clasp is also from BasicGrey, I painted it with Kaiser Craft, Antique Linen, after it was dry I scratched it up with scissors.

After painting my letters, I applied Close to My Heart-Liquid Glass, I think Diamond Glaze does the same thing.
The Basic Grey chipboard for this line was lovely to work with. I wouldn't mind having another pack.

I wanted the white Maya Road rubons to show up a little better so I rubbed a little blue Pebbles Inc chalk across the last 6 letters.

I rubbed a little chalk on the stitching here, it was too subtle otherwise.

After the pink paint dried on these letters, I added Martha Stewart crystal glitter. It is my new favorite product.

This mini is my entry to the "Summer Fun" contest over at Maya Road. Who wouldn't want to win more Maya Road Goodies? You can tell by now that I love Maya Rd!

Even these sweet little birdy charms are Maya Road!

I used the crop o dile to punch through the ladybug and sheer. I didn't think the ladybug would adhere very well there, so I tied her down.

All of the beautiful ribbon in this book are from Maya Road.

This flower came with a pearl center, but I snipped it off and put in the button. I thought it suited the feel of the book better.

I can never ever get the girls to stay still for a picture. So this was the best that I could do!



More liquid glass applied to the letters and I wanted the paisleys to look like water drops.

Lily does not like the spray park. She just sticks by me and watches her big sister. This photo of Emma is my most favorite of the summer. I love it and will probably scrap it a few more times. I also love how these pages turned out. I realy like these Pink Paislee chipboard letters and the simple embellishment of 1 button and 2 leaves.

The aqua paint is from Kaiser Craft, it is called Sea Breeze. I love it and can't wait to play with it some more. I also used Antique Linen and Pretty Pink on the cover.
Those little stickers are October Afternoon. I told you there were going to be a lot of pictures! Thanks for staying with me. If you have any questions about anything I did here, please ask!
