When I have. . .

A brand new hairdo

With my eyelashes all in curl

I float like the clouds on air do.
I enjoy being a Girl!

I came up with this "1st haircut" layout as my April project for Mystic Paper.  The cute scissors everywhere on the Material Girl paper were calling my name.  And the sweet springy paper worked wonderfully with my photos.  I couldn't decide which pictures to use, so the Daisy D's hinges came in super handy.

I created a mini booklet out of 4"x12" brown cardstock which I folded in half and rounded the corners.  I hand stictched the center to bind it.  Then I attached one side of the hinges to the first page of the booklet, and the other to my layout.  I covered the brads that showed on the inside with the yellow patterned paper.  The red tabs are 7gypsies and from Mystic too, of course.  It was almost like working on a mini-album/layout.  Great fun.
Be sure to visit Sheri and Jenna's blogs to see their finished projects.

 Love and hugs,

Thanks Mary. It's Roger and Hammerstein's Flower Drum song from 1961. You can listen to it at: http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/flowerdrumsong/ienjoybeingagirl.htm

What can I say, my mom has a song for just about any word you come up with, and so do I now because of her probably. :)
