Guitar Mini Book!

I have made the following guitar Mini Book for Georgia (our Niece) who is turning 7 next week! She adores Hannah Montana, so I thought I would make a mini book to keep all her favourite photos of her Hannah memories in (maybe mum would help with this)! I had some photos of Georgia when she came for a sleepover with Aimee and I took them to see the Hannah Montana movie the next day, and the rest I have "borrowed" from Ruth's blog. I drew two guitar shapes onto some chipboard for the cover of the book and covered it with some Bazzill cardstock, I have had the purple coloured sheets of papers for forever, they are too gaudy for a 12 x 12 layout, but cut up like this with photos and embellishments they look okay! All the pages are cut from Bazzill cardstock. Some of the flowers I have made myself and added some generous helpings of stickles! All the photos have gotten edited in photo shop with added digital frames as I thought layering them up with actual cardstock would make the pages too bulky! The journaling is printed onto white Bazzill cardstock and cut out! I added some eyelets to keep the top of the guitar from ripping (hopefully). I have left the blank pages fairly simple, as I had no more photos to add in! I made the name chain, by added lots of beads and charms. I also added a bright pink ribbon to represent a guitar strap! I think that is about it, any questions contact me and I will only be too happy to help you! I was sooo sick of drawing and cutting out guitar shapes, but will be doing it again in a few weeks due to Aimee asking me to make one for her, oh why, oh why do I leave myself open .....

and yes I know I have spelt movie wrong in the next photo, it is now corrected!

Some close ups of some of the details, on this page I stickled all the veins of the leaves and flowers to add a little more to the page!



My hand made flower, stickled to death!



Of the chain hanging from the top of the guitar!

From Aimee to Hannah Montana (sort of)

****Warning photo heavy****

During the carnival last week one of our local companies who specialise in Princess Parties were handing out leaflets and this particular one had a Hannah Montana Weekend! And of course they targeted Aimee, I think she got 5 leaflets in total! For £12:- Learn the Hoe Down, Hair, Make up and nails, Sparkly cowboy hat and a free glitter tattoo! OH No I thought here we go! She begged and pleaded, in the end I said ask you dad, who of course said I don't mind if she goes!

So my Saturday was spent in a marquee with giggling girls, Hannah Montana blasting from music systems (which in truth I didn't mind I actually like her songs (Miley and Hannah's) and Billy Ray Cyrus too, sad I know, lol), glitter EVERY WHERE, those hats don't hold the glitter very well! The main thing is that Aimee had a blast and really enjoyed being pampered! There were limousine rides too, but when I asked Aimee to go for one, she said "Why?" that will be boring, I want to stay dancing and posing! (I had explained that she got in the limousine and drove around for a little while, she is a girl after my own heart as I would of passed that up too). We got there at 10:00 am at about 12:30 I had enough and I was hungry, so I asked Aimee if she would like her photo taken with the limo again she said "no", but could she do another dance!!!! We left at 1:00 pm and I am glad we did as it was beginning to rain. I hope it stays dry for them tomorrow as the whole thing is on again, cause if it rains it's going to be awful for them!

Anyways on to my photos ......

Before


After


The process ....

Eyes


Blush


Lips


Hair




Aimee was the only girl that got her hair styled like this and hers was the only one that stayed in place! Hence why she isn't wearing her pink sparkly cowboy hat. All the others got the quiff and ringlets!

Tattoo


Nails


And then to dancing to the Hoe Down and The Ice Cream Freeze!















And here are some shots of my Catwalk Princess ......



Love this shot ... lots of attitude













Aimee has her own individual style, lots of the other girls copied what the instructors did or what each other did ... Aimee just went for it and in her own way! So proud!

And the last shot of the day, Aimee with a Hannah Balloon (these were £8, she didn't get one, as they don't last very long)



Okay I lied, this is the last shot, a very sneaky shot of Chloe, hehehe!
