SUPER BEST FRIEND

This page that I completed - is my bestfriend from Arizona. It is just different facial features that I loved. So I cropped them down and put this together. The bronze colored stickers are just stickers, they are not cute out from my Slice. Then instead of journeling with my white pen, I used a gold one, to kinda color coordinate with everything. When she see's this on here, she is probably going to cry, but that is my Cathy. Things like this effect her and I the same. Because I can just hear her saying "Wow, Ellen did a page just of me!" and I know her that she will feel so honored. But like I said the photos are some of my favorite taken one day while she was at my house in Arizona. So, Cathy, I LOVE YOU and MISS YOU terribly.

A JOURNEY WITH US....

Ok, I know you are looking at this and going "what is this?.. I'll tell you the story cuz you can't see my journeling that I did. My bestfriend in Arizona and her hubby went on an "Elvis Cruise" and she told me that she made herself a daily journel. So she could write it in everyday while she was gone. Then she kept saying "Your probably not even gonna miss me while I am gone", so I decided that I would write in a journal everyday while she was gone on what I was doing and how much I missed her while she was gone. Well low and behold, their cruise was caught up in the Hurricane Gustoff and they were kept at sea 4 extra days. Alot of prayers were said and I lit a candle for her and her hubby, cuz she always lites a candle when she prays for certain people and she is a CERTAIN person to me, so that is what I did. When I gave her this journel book and let me tell you it ended up being 35-40 pages long (with graphic and all), she was in such dis-belief, cuz no one had ever given her such a gift.

It made me and my heart feel so good because I really know that she will treasure it always. So that is the story behind these two pages. Enjoy!!!!

OUR RENTAL HOUSE

The background cardstock is Brazzil, all the lettering and swirls (Brazzil cardstock) are done on the Slice machine. The white writing that I did, is that white pen I got at the scrapbooking store here in my town, Palm Harbor, they are on my favorite blogs, check em out. I don't know what I have done before without that white pen. However I did look it is not a gel pen. Enjoy looking! If you want to know what this white pen is email at eflower@cox.net, and I'll send it to you whatever it says. Or I could go and get more and just mail them to you if you wish, just let me know.

a 2 page layout

ok, I have posted in awhile and you can tell, I put this in backwards, but you'll get it all when you read it. This is the right side of the 2 page layout. See below on what I did and how.....

This is the left side of the 2 page layout. Everything is cut out using the slice, except for the pictures of course. Then what I did around the blue swirly thing, the new scrapbooking store had these white pens, I just drew around them and it made them pop out to match the lettering. Now for the right side of the 2 page layout........

Let me know what you think! I had fun this afternoon. YEAH.......

SLICE MACHINE

Well since I am sitting in a house that we are renting and all my stamping/scrapbooking stuff is packed and still in our house in Arizona, and we are in Florida. We found a scrapbooking store and we went. I am so bored with nothing to do. Thank heaven I have a very NICE husband. I got the new Slice. And have made somethings and thought that I would post them on here, so you all could see them. This first one is one that I experimented on using the machine and ended up putting them on a 6x6 piece of paper for my loving husband, then stickled lightly over them. Hopefully the picture comes in good enough for you to see.........the word that is very shiny is love.
