We are a family known for giving nicknames. Nathan will give anyone a nickname--he can't help himself. I think he looks at it as a way of showing you that he cares! Ella coined this phrases a few months ago...everytime she can't find her male counterparts like Nathan, Daddy or her cousin, Christian, she will say, "Where are the guys?" Actually, (another word she is famous for using) she will often say, "Where are MY guys?" like she owns the world. She just might one day...
So here are the guys! Aren't they both so handsome? And twins!
Supplies: (All from the July Studio Calico kit) Paper: Making Memories, Studio Calico, Scenic Route; Chipboard: Maya Road; Alphabet: K & Company; Buttons: Stash goodies!
I love this alphabet from K & Company--I think it is the slight shine they have! I outlined the edges with a black marker because it makes them stand out against the Kraft! A little tip--do your outlining while they are still adhered to the packaging! Watch your fingertips because the marker doesn't easily dry on the plastic. I took apart the Maya Road ticket album to make these cool, dimensional photo mats! I love how the picture is lifted up--I will be doing that more!
I have to go into work today. Not so cute, huh? ACTUALLY, I am getting excited to see all of my kiddos from school!
Happy Thursday!

ReplyDeleteSo this is a Calico kit I bought in over a year, and I got extra paper and stuff, not that I love the kit, but it's just the first one in a long time that I don't have anything already so I bought it :) And so thanks for posting this, I'll be copying exactly :) Must use more up! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the layout, Stacy!!! BTW They are both very handsome! :)
ReplyDeletelove the postage stamp edges and those letters are awesome :D
ReplyDeleteit is so cute, Stacey, and I, too, like how you used the chipboard tags as a photo mat. What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with work, I hope it all went well. And like you said change is good.
ReplyDeleteI love that lo of your guys. Those letters are really cool, I must get some!!! You are very creative, checking out your blog is always such a treat!
Love this, Stacey! Your work is just fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are lovely and very masculine at the same time! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this layout. The chipboard tickets look amazing used as a mat. Super job making the older MM postage stamp paper that everyone has a so many of left look fresh & something you want to run out to the store & purchase.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a really great group of students this year - I know they will all think you are the BEST teacher ever!
