I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Red~White~Blue combo.  

so of course this month's Ribbon Club Assortment topped my Heart List this month! 

I made two hair pretties this month.  

I did a woven headband AND a Pony~tail holder. 

Here is my munchkin modeling both of them and LOVING every second of it!

This kiddo thinks that she gets to keep them both!  

LOL..of course she does!  :)

Your next stop on this hop is over at Ginny's Blog...where I am certain you will find something beautiful!!  Have a Wonderful Week!

Finally May!!!

 Hello everyone! Happy Hump Day!  

May is a super busy month for us here in the Willis House.  In addition to Tamon taking Drivers' Ed class,  the school year is almost over here, which means that proms, graduations, banquets and parties will be abundant. Most school related activities have come to an end, and everyone is getting geared up for summer vacation.  Some are even preparing for going off to college.  NO..not any of my own kiddos, but my nieces are.

This month, I chose to center a few of my projects around those events.

This first project is my favorite.  It features my niece and her bestie all ready for homecoming...only from a different angle that one would normally expect!  Here is:

"It's All About The Shoes"

Here is a close up of the computer generated journaling...

And here is a close up of the super cute high heeled shoes chippie:

I pained them black with acrylic paints and sprinkled glitter on them. 

I flipped them over to fit in the appropriate corner on my layout.

I used the Basic Grey Lemonade and PB&J lines for this layout.

I also tossed in some Prima flowers and

I used Ladies Butterfly Stiletto

Product ID: Ladies stillettos pair pack 1

Next up is a card that I made wishing a special little Graduate that I know 

"Best Wishes"

Here is a close up.  I actually painted this a Navy color to match the navy flowers, but for some reason it looks almost black here in the photo.

                                           

Oh, and Here is Clarissa, the Graduate:

Isn't she beautiful!

I used the Basic Grey PB&J line along with

 Best Wishes sentiments 

product ID: C0014

This last project is a very simple two page layout.  It is a collection of photos that I took of Chance playing foot ball last year, and I decided that the footballer chippie would be PERFECT for getting them scrapped! Here is :

"FOOTBALL"

This first photo shows the 2 page layout together.

This photo shows a close up of the chippie himself.  

I actually colored this with a black sharpie marker and 

covered the entire surface with Glossy Accents.  I also flipped him over to suit my layout needs to work for my page.  Some chippies you can do that with and they work perfectly fine either way!

                                        

I used the Footballer chippie
