Family Yearbook (continued)

Happy Monday!  Here are the photos I couldn't load last night... looking back, I'm appalled at teh horrible lighting and obvious arm shadows but it was late & I was tired.  I guess I'm lucky I got it posted at all.  If you can't tell, I'm a teensy bit of a perfectionist so funky pictures drive me insane...and that's the perfect segweay to introduce the next crop of family yearbook layouts (and their photo imperfections lol):

Here's June...summer time fun & all!  I ran out of white cardstock (major faux pas) but I used my Kiwi Lane templates to hold the design.  I love these because I was able to play around with the alternating looks of a single 5x7 or 4 4x6s, without having to cut a thing!

A close up of the embellishment detail

I spruced up November with a glitter mat, I like the contrast against the orange patterend paper.  Looking back, I should have used pop dots for Turkey Lurkey there on the right but, oh well... I'm trying to get past perfectionism, right?  Next time...

This sticker cam in the kit, for some reason there was an abundance of Thanksgiving embellishments.

This was a leftover piece of bling from another project.  I wasn't crazy about the weird, zig-zag lightening bolt design so I trimmed it down to manipulate the shape a bit.  I learned that trick from an awesome Prima rep at the scrapbook expo. Thanks Rebecca! :)

So, if you like the templates in the June layout, they're available from Kiwi Lane Designs.  Those ladies are awesome & I have to admit, I really get a lot of use out of the photo templates.  I haven't been as dilligent with the other designs, for shapes I tend to use my cricut and the borders are tempramental to say the least.  The gallery on their website is awesome though so, if that's your style, work it!  They have lots of sales & coupon codes so joining their mailing list first is a great way to try something new without spending a lot. -t.
