here is a funny story: on election day, i had my first graders write "if i were president, i would _____." of course i took their picture looking presidential. they cut themselves out and glued it to their paper and incorporated it into an illustration. one of my girls brought me her paper and showed me this creeper in the corner of her illustration. he was tall and had this big black hat on and a weird curly beard. i said, "tell me about your picture. who is this guy?" she said a name and i was like, "whaaaat?!" she said it like 5 more times and she added, "you know...the dead president!" i finally figured it out...he was , "BABY HAM lincoln"! abraham lincoln. fuh-nny!!
meanwhile, back at the ranch...here are some layouts for a sort of calgon-take-me-away moment.
yeah....so i have been a little obsessed with project life lately. it is so easy and quick-fast like a ninja. these pages are all from my 2010 album. i had printed all the pics in sepia and wallet sized beause i had planned to create some type of mini album. NEVER DID. i used the project life system and finished in about 4 months (that's while taking breaks to keep up on my current PL album as well as regular layouts...oh, and work). magical, i know.
check out some more:
(ha! don't really know why this one is so cock-eyed!)
ps...most all of my stamps are from the SMAK kit and all of my adhesive is from HELMAR USA. :)
pss...i will be picking three winners from the blog comments to win a UNITY GIFT CERTIFICATE! awesome.

I am in love with P.L for that very reason! It's so awesome that I am up to date with this current years album AND I did what you did and got last years album done in a few months this year. I love your layout designs on the kraft and that Baby Ham Lincoln story has me cracking up!

Wonderful album. It will be treasured in the years to come. Love how you used the stamps.
I love project life! I am so glad I started using it last year! And the Smak kits are so great for PL.
I feel your pain about PT conferences. Never looked forward to them when I taught, and I'm so glad I'm done with them now. Beautiful layouts!

i always like your project life layouts using unity stamps.. just so simple and nice!! :)
Great Layouts!!
I love these layouts and more importantly, I love the story about the Baby Ham Lincoln (out of the mouths of babes). Thanks for sharing both!
LOVE the smack! Love the story!
Printing the pictures in wallet-size is a good idea. Takes up less room so you can get more pictures on a page. thanks for the tip.
Fabulous Layouts!! Great work!!
