saw one of these pages up on the MM blog today ... and figured it was ok to share them.
i created these months ago ... long before i even knew it was the just chillin collection. just knew it was some super cute papers. and one thing about doing things so far in advance ... is that you don't always have the real product to work with. so those super cute badge brads? to me, they were just a paper piece ... i thought maybe they'd be epoxy circles or something. as you can see on the photo on the MM blog ... they have replaced my paper circles with the real product. so if you're thinking i was crazy for adding almost an entire package of them to one layout ... it's honestly, because i didn't know what they were at the time. lol! although that is still a super cute idea!
and thanks again to deneen's daughters (well, 3 of her daughters and another friend) ... they were very willing to come over and let me take some quick photos for these layouts. without any warning too. i called ... and 20 minutes later they were here for me. didn't even plan the outfits ... but they turned out perfectly!
I saw your pages today! I love that line, the colors are spunky & bright! I always wondered how they got the product to designers and then had them out in shelves...now I see how it works!

Hey, I know those girls! Your layouts are great as usual, and now I think I NEED that product line...and I'm supposed to be cutting back.

It's so funny that you had no idea what the line would be ... and it's so cool that you had a photo shoot for your friend's kids ... I'll bet they'll be thrilled to be in a magazine!

Super cute Laura! I'm still waiting for my Target to get the boy stuff in as they only have the girl collection right now. This is such a cute line and I love those badges!

These came out so cool--love this line of papers! How fun that you got some "instant" models to pose for you! Think it's pretty cool what you do with the product they send you before you know how it's going to look. You manage to pull it together perfectly!
