I had the hardest time figuring out what I was going to do with these pictures.  I found the Mrs. Grossman's golf stickers but beyond that I was at a loss.  Then I found the paper at Michael's.  I used a circle cutter to cut the pics and then two white circles to put behind two of the pics.  I cut a curve into the colored "tees" and then freehanded the sides for the tee.  The letters were done with the Pebbles in my Pocket (PIMP) crazy letter stencils.  I cut out parts of the golf stickers to make them look as if they were on or behind the letters.  The journaling talks about how my girls did minigolf with grandma and up in the right corner is Matthew in his stroller...the gallery!

  Megan's ninth birthday.  Another Sonburn paper.  I used a pink dot paper to trace and cut out the crazy letters from the PIMP stencil.  I spelled out "The Birthday Girl".  I used a stencil to cut the balloons from green gingham paper and I also punched stars from a paper I got at a Creative Memories class and placed a few on the balloons in the title and around the pics.  The pictures are cropped using a present stencil or a large balloon and then matted on either the green gingham or pink dot, sort of shadowed.  I cut larger stars from purple dot and then the number nine from a solid green.  The number was placed in the center of the star.  On each star point, I did little dashes and dots to look sparkly and on the green numbers I lined in black, sort of softly.  Around all the pics I did a dot and squiggle outline for definition and then did dot or tinker toy lettering to spell Megan's name.  At the bottom I wrote where we were living.

  I really like this page!  I broke down and bought a Disney paper book.  I had avoided them because I usually only liked one or two pages and because they seemed so busy.  But that "Great Scrapbook Pages" book is terrific for ideas on how to use the busy papers and the Pooh and baby collection had quite a few I thought I could use.  To the left are mint green sticker letters spelling "Tigger".  They are each mounted on white and then green squares.  The photo is also mounted on white then green. I made a banner wide enough for Tiggers song, "the Wonderful Thing About Tiggers" by first tracing the banner shape, then moving the stencil down and retracing the lower edge.  I did three banner points instead of two.  Tigger is a die cut that came with the papers and he is mounted also on white then mint.  All the mounts are outlined with pen stitching.  Then I made a spring font...little twists on the straight portions of the letters to look like springs and I spelt out "Bong!".

  Eeyore's page is my other most recent page and I think it is really simple but cute!  I used a lavender paper with three white dot clusters for the background.  Then the baby Pooh Disney page.  I mounted the photo on pink card stock and wrote the names and ages of the children as well as Disneyland and the date.  The Eeyore die cut came with the papers.  It is mounted also on a long pink rectangle and I used white sticker letters to spell the name.  The really fun part, I think, is the tail.  I cut a simple rectangle, freehand, in dark blue.  I did the furry tail part in black, also freehand.  For the bow I used red cardstock and the banner template.  One of the banners has a bow so I used that and just finished the other bow end instead of having it turn into a banner.  There is pen stitching all around the paper edges.
