Graduation Layouts!

I have been working on Kali's Graduation LO's finally!!! I got these first two finished yesterday, and they were going to be for the June Challenge on Blush ~n~ Dusty but then today I did 4 more and the last one I did I REALLY like, so I'm saving it for the challenge...which will start on Monday so I'll post it then. I did all of these with the June Challenge kit called Graduation Mini kit by Blushbutter. If you want to get the kit for free join us on Blush ~n~ Dusty on Monday to find out how!! If you just want to buy it, it's in her store, but I think she is having a little trouble with the store...something the host did, because I was having some trouble too although not to the extent she did...and we have the same host. So anyway you may want to wait a few days to give them time to fix what they did. It's a beautiful mini and I'm having a lot of fun with it! :)

I decided to do all the graduation ones so they look like they go together, which is why the backgrounds are all the same. Hope you don't get to bored with it! *giggle* I still have 4 more LO's to do of just the graduation....then I have her party and a couple of prom and I'll be done....I think! LOL Hope I make it, It's been like pulling teeth to get myself in the mood to finish up...have no idea why.

As soon as I saw this mini I knew it was perfect for the Honoring the parents LO's cause of the red rose. I got inspired and so as you can see I got several done...I'm just hoping I can keep that inspiration up till at least I finish her book. Oh and I have to point out...I actually used the alpha in the mini!! I don't use Alpha's very often cause I'm blond and can't figure out how to make them look cool...I do love them though. *giggle*

The third layout lists the awards she got and the photo is when she was standing up in front of everyone while they read the list. I would have really hated that part. Thankfully they didn't do that when I graduated, probably cause we would have been there forever with over 100 kids in my class...she only had 11.

The next LO is of the invitation she sent me. I scanned it all in then cut up the inside so I could show what all was in it. The top part with the 2009 showing down the side is what the front looked like when it was all folded up.

The last LO is her whole class up on stage and the large photo is her walking in. On the scroll I put the names of all the graduating class. Here's a funny...I had to cover up the toes of her one foot cause it was cut off in the photo. I was trying to wait as long as I could to get the photo so the guy ahead of her wouldn't be in it...since she was almost to close to him, and so I didn't get the toes of her foot...so I just covered it with the branch. Think it looks natural? What you have to do sometimes to make something look right with imperfect photos. *giggle*

I know I didn't have to mention that, and you probably would never have known...but I couldn't resist pointing it out...I think I really need to practice taking people photos! :)

The blue flowers are recolored, her colors were white and black...but the school colors I think are light blue, white and black...which is why I put a little blue in there too. I also recolored the frames.

In other news our baby girl (Autumn our Doxie) is limping really bad this evening and can't get comfy. We can't see anything wrong, but she must have done something to it. She was having a good ole time outside with a toad earlier this evening before Supper. We had supper and watched a little tv, then went outside and when I came in I brought the bedding I had drying on the line in and took it into the bedroom to make the bed. She came in there hardly able to walk on it which is when I noticed she was hurt. No idea how it happen but oh I feel so sorry for her.

She is restless cause it hurts and can't settle down for long, and kinda groans sometimes when she moves. Our one horse town (not a put down, I LOVE one horse towns! LOL) doesn't have any baby aspirin at this hour of the night...which is what the vet said to give her so she is out of luck till tomorrow. I think her limp is a little better than it was, but if she is still bad in the morning we will have to take her to the vet...I don't know if I'll get much sleep, cause if she keeps moving around I may have to see if holding her will help her stay still. Poor baby, I hate to see her in pain. Hopefully it's just a sprain or something and not anything worse.

Anyway I better get off here and see where she went, she just limped out of my office a little bit ago. Have a great weekend!! Thanks so much for your comments both here and through e-mails!!! :)
