AGES & STAGES - By Laurie (Besthobbyeva)

Good morning Scrapping Ladies - Happy Friday. I wanted to show my thought process for this page, start to finish. My eldest son ask to have a pool party on the last day of school. First time having a boy/girl party. It was such a year for all these kids, I said yes. It was their Freshman year in High School.

I had so many pictures I wanted to get on two pages I pulled out my scrap go to, Sketches, Volume 2 by Becky Higgins, I made a copy of the sketch I used. As you can see from my pages, I made it my own. That is great thing about sketches, you get a general idea and you run with it.









Page one the word Freshman, I used K&Company letters, the "no more" where just white letters that I colored in with a blue glitter pen. I doodled around the entire page, it just looked empty to me. To the left of the large picture I used my small Cuttlebug folder to make the wave.

Page two I cut out the squares on the Cricut using George and the Basic Stone, 1 1/2". The arrows on both pages come from Accents Essentials and shadowed . I believe they are cut at 1 inch.





The words Water and Got kids? are from Graphically Speaking both cut at 1.5". Those words were not easy, because they are so small, but I was determined to get them on there. I pop dotted both words.

Of course the blue paper is StampinUP!
