Graduation Mini Album...

We played Saturday morning at CraftFancy where I taught a class. It was pouring rain when we started so it was a good time to create!

So here's the inside of the album:






















Supplies: 6x6 artist canvas panel, RangerInk Acrylic Dabber & Distressed Ink, Bazzill Big Brad & Cardstock, Maya Road Sheer Male & Felt Accents & Mini Chipboard Frame, Making Memories & Sandylion pattern papers, Hero Arts Stamps, Clearsnap Cat's Eyes and last but not least, die cutters - Spellbinder Wizard, Quickutz and Sizzix.

I had such a great time with the ladies in the class...lots of laughter! I hope they took home a couple of new techniques that they can use over and over again! Thanks ladies for coming out!

Graduation...

Well, it's the season for some. Ours (Hiro - 6th grade & Taka - 8th grade) are coming up next month...actually in about 3 weeks! YIKES! Can you believe the end of another school year is here?! WOW!

As some of you know, my boys used to go to Saturday Japanese school. They have been attending since 2004 in Chicago so it's been 4-5 years. I am very proud of them for getting up Saturday morning, showering, eating breakfast and getting on that long bus ride to Arlington Hts/Buffalo Grove border area. This year which ended in March, Hiro graduated from sixth grade. With his pictures, I made a layout for him...very simple.













I'm not sure if I'm done with the LO or not...I'm thinking of writing his face in there. Looks like a ghost?! LOL!! The cardstock is from Bazzill and pattern paper is from Flair. I used my newest border tool from EK Success to make the torn spiral notebook edge...isn't it cool?! There is a variation of dies I used for this layout...the loopy border and the graduate are from Sizzix, the alphas are from Quickutz and the fabulous orange oval with embossing edges is from Spellbinder Wizard's oval nesties!

So what do you think? Should I fill in the face or leave it as is?
