HEY LADIES...

how about I kick-it-in-the-shorts today and get some pages posted?

I've got 421,648 pages to share with you from Starting Blox Week #27.

{slight exaggeration, but not by much!}

I'm uploading, I'm cropping, I'm editing - and I'll start posting here pretty soon.

In the meantime - here is the page that I DID, that I never shared with you. Well, I never shared the finished page with you.

supplies: QK 12" Embossing Alphabet Folder, QK String Bean border font, QK Nesting Scalloped Ovals, QK Diesel and QK Neat Freak. Love that the String Bean comes in both an embossing folder AND an alphabet. Layering them together makes it easy to pop out some letters...these are my kids initials. FUN STUFF!

{And YES, I added some additional journaling on the matching page to this one. I rambled on about how first-day-of-school pictures get harder to take as the kids get older. Goofy faces, hunched shoulders, peace-flashing and rolled eyes...I'm all about truth in journaling! LOL}

Here is a close-up of how the border strip looks. Embossed the teal cardstock, cut the colored ovals, then cut an extra letter with the matching alphabet. Try it - it's an easy school accent, and you can obviously customize it for any letter. Just pay attention to how you're laying down your border, so the correct letters are visible!

Okay - back later today with pages galore!! You won't want to miss it!

I'm here for your habit...
