Alter It Chipboard Wheel

One of my DT assignments for Lasting Impression is a new product from Paper Trunk : an Alter It Chipboard Wheel. I was wondering what to do with it when I chanced upon Em Magpoc's site! She used the wheel to capture her wonderful travel in the Holy Land.

So from this....
I came up with this!!!

It was so fun to do! I just disassembled the wheel into 2 parts: the base where I placed the pictures and the cover with the picture slot. I printed out my pictures in 3"x2" size then just traced out the shape of the slot to capture the image I wanted. Held together by a brad, I found it such a fun & innovative way of displaying my pictures.

Thanks, Em, for the inspiration!

All materials available at Lasting Impression. Patterned papers used: Fancy Pants Sweet Spring Line. (yummy!!!)

Summer Fun Layouts

Last March, my kids' schools went on fast break to be able to finish everything before the curiously early Lenten Season so right now they're enjoying the longest summer break (in my memory) of close to 3 months. For 2 months now, my kids have been ruling the roost, so to speak. Boy!!! Two months down, ONE more month to go!!!

Sometimes it DOES get to me! ha-ha... Just being honest... but on bad days, I'd sometimes wish that school would start soon. Oh,now don't get me wrong. I'm crazy about my kids and I love having them around. Must be the heat.....

As soon as the kids went on summer break last March, we hied to the beach for what else.... fun, fun, fun!!! Here are some layouts I made using the new Paper Trunk line by Lasting Impression. Check it out. Their papers are gorgeous!

Please check out Lasting Impression's gallery for the materials used for these 2 layouts! Happy summer!
