Mini Album and LO Share

Hey readers... I am currently at my moms but wanted to share this mini album that I had finished up last night. It is my fave one ever... and I used the Apr Bad Girl Kit to make it...

I used the Basic Grey chipboard album as the base, adhered and sanded PP to the base and then painted the outside edges. I also painted the journal pages. I distressed with Ranger tea dye ink all over the egdes. Away I went!... LOL

IT BEGAN - FRONT PAGE

I used some aged paper doileys on the front here. I also took the KI Lace paper and cut it to form the edge of the chipboard album! Then I went nuts!

IT BEGAN - PAGE 1 & 2

So I totally went with a hottie theme here...LOL I guess I should mention that this mini is about our first YAYA gethering. On the left is Steph and I, and the right is Mell and I. I used the Bam Pop frames, some Jenni Bowlin letter stickers, burlap from a previous Bad Girl kit and of course odds and ends from Apr Kit!

The quote on the left page says

"Each friend represents a world in us. A world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born!" Annis Nin

The right page is my mom and I.

Journalling for both pages read.

"Yup so it began. The birth of the YAYA's. The first time that Steph, Mell, Katie and I celebrated together. I heard the sounds of horns and hootin and hollerin' of the girls coming up the pathway to my house. We were celebrating my B-Day and John was cooking up a feast of escargot, ceasar salad, spaghetti and chocolate trifle for dessert. We did attempt to watch our YAYA movie but ended up chit chatting so much that none of us really took it in. As we sipped out yummy drinks and wore our tiaras (mom and Alexa joined us too) we posed for these pics. It was a B-day I will always cherish."

So I used one of my fave personally made techniques here...LOL I take my stickles and I squeeze it all over everything, then I use kleenex that is impregnated with lotion (you buy them at the supermarket anywhere) and I smear the stickles over everything, giving it a really cool finish... that way the glue from the stickles doesn't goop up either.

These pics really don't do it much justice.. IRL it is so awesome... yes I know TOOT TOOT.. but I am sure there have been projects you have all done where you think you really rawked it.. LOL This one is mine!

I also did a LO a while back that I am finally posting.. just the girls playing on the computer.

MY TURN

Well that is all.. I was just excited to share. LOL I hope everyone has a great long weekend... I know my day is looking much better than it did yesturday. Thanks for the kick in thew arse and the love sent my way... I really needed it! LOL

MMMMMMMMMWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
