All American Girl-BBTB2 Challenge

Hello my crafty friends, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Today at BBTB2 our talented design team sister Melanie has issued a summer challenge for us. There is all kinds of fun that goes on in the summer! I chose to scrap a few pictures of my granddaughter when she was a baby and swimming in our pool. I can't believe she will be 6 years old this fall! It seems like yesterday she was tiny like this. lol First my boys and now my grandchildren are growing up way to fast. I must apologize first off for the poor lightening. I didn't get done before dark, so I had terrible lightening to work with. Either I was in my shadow or else I could get up on the layout to get a good picture. For my title I used the Cricut cartridge Opposites Attract. I also cut it twice once in black and then either red or the blue so I could "shadow" it. Yes, this cartridge does have a shadow, but I just wanted to offset a shadow. For my beach ball and little bathing suit (which I messed up on, but at that point didn't care!) came from the cartridge Pack Your Bags, and the little duck came from the cartridge Doodlecharms. I used some of my homemade enamel dots to finish the layout off. And that is it. I had gotten her a little two piece red/white/blue bathing suit and she wore it while swimming at Papaw's and Grandma's pool, so that's why I went with a red/white/blue color theme. Plus her daddy is a soldier, another reason I got the patriotic suit. I have some other pictures that show her in her bathing suit and I will probably do a second page layout to go with this one. I'm so looking forward to seeing this little lady and her brother when they come in this Thursday for the wedding of our other son. So what do you think, gotta summer project in mind?? Well get it done and link up with us over at BBTB2. Can't wait to see what you do! Need inspiration?? Well look no farther than the design team-they have wonderful inspiration for you. As always thanks for stopping by for a spell today. I always love Monday visitors, and while you are here come on our and take a dip in the pool with me. I love chatting out in the pool or on the pool deck. Until next time-Crafty hugs, Brenda
