June Project 12


The Project 12 challenge is simple. The idea is to create a layout on a monthly basis which recaps what you’ve been doing.  Whether you took 31 photos, no photos, or 100 photos, simply choose your favorites that best described what you were doing that month, and create a layout. Using the Page Map above, I created the following layout for June.

 Before printing the pictures of my nephew, I used the focal Black & White button in Google's free photo program Picasa.  The paper I used was all from a loose paper package I bought at Big Lots.  The tough guy embellishment is from K & Company. 









The brown card-stock used in the back of the Lay Out and for Journaling was bought individually at A. C. Moore, it is called Paper Bag.  I used Plantin Schoolbook  at 2" for the letters June.







The white Balls on each side were cut from the  same cartridge at 2" and embossed using Swiss Dots in the Cuttle Bug.  I glued it down with the divots facing up to look like a golf ball, and facing down to resemble the ball he is holding on the right side page. 





The tag on the left hand page is stamped with Tim Holtz's Mini Muse stamps and the sentiment is embossed.


 The journaling says....
"June is one of the most stressful times in the Kondrick Household.  What is the old saying...If momma isn't happy, nobody's happy.   Well with grades, testing, end of the year ceremonies, reports, packing classrooms, and saying goodbye to students who have tugged at her heart strings all year, momma gets a little emotional.  Luckily she had two events to keep her happy. H****** H*****in **********a, and the first Annual Ripley Faculty Golf Outing.  J. D. went from being a sweet soft cuddly boy, to a terribly tough toddler during the H.H. when his Aunt Cheryl bought him a tattoo and Doo Rag. It also came as a surprise to everyone in the family when Karen transformed from an "I've never even hit a golf ball" player, to a member of the Winning team (okay they probably would have done better without her, but she had lots of fun)."
