Million Dollar Baby

Here is a layout I did today (actually started on it yesterday). Its of my Daughter, my mom, moms friends and I on the beach in Florida.. We lived there, so it was just another normal day.. I'm the big fat pregnant one in the bottom photo on the left, my mom is standing next to me and then my DD and my moms friend the skinny one on the right..LOL
close up of the right corner where I layerd some leaves, shells and sand dollars. they are actually light tan, I dont' know why they look so pink.. OH! and a close up of me all big and prego.
I did add a lot of stickle to this layout..being a sunny day at the beach, I think it deserved a bit of glimmer..
Aaaaw. Here is the million dollar baby.. she was such a little ham back at the tender age of 4..
Here is a side view of all the layering I did.. I like the way it came out..

Toilet paper roll album

I have wanted to make one of these since I can remember.. Making this little TP Roll album was so much fun, quick and Easy.. Only time consuming part of the whole project was trying to get the rolls..LOL
This was a nice morning project..
Here are the tags that are inserted in every pouch..they are photos of my DD when she was first learning how to jump in the deep end of our pool. She was about 4 yrs old in these photos.
the tags are cut at 3"wide and 4" long (I think and the tp rolls in Finland might be smaller than the ones in the states)
Here are some close ups of the inside of the album. I think the cuts on the Lifes a beach cartridge are too too cute.. all the of the titles are stretched on the design studio 2.5" x 2.5"..
another close up. I inked all of the edges with black ink.. I think it gave it a nice look.
and another..
This is the last pouch.. I used a lot of stickle and then added some mini googly eyes..
