Do You Topstitch?

See Complete Album Below
I have found that it is a good thing to keep a few My Creations projects on hand.  When a special occasion creeps up on me, I love being able to throw something together fairly quick.   When my daughter told me she needed to get her friend something for her birthday I was ready.  I just happened to have an extra All Sorts Mini-Album and some Topstitch paper and stickease.  The My Reflections Topstitch was one of my favorite papers that came out in the Spring 2010 Idea Book.  I had already created 2 layouts with this paper pack and even a couple of cards.   I had enough paper left to make this mini-album.   I used the coordinating stickease and added a little bit of stamping and embellishments.    
I LOVE the Ms. Chillin' stamp set I used on pages 5 and 6.  For the girls, I stamped them on Colonial White cardstock, and also on B&T papers.  I cut out the pieces of the B&T papers and glued them to my stamped image on the Colonial White cardstock.  For the denim jeans - I used Outdoor Denim CS and sanded it before stamping on the image.  I used watercolor pencils and a blending pen on the hair, popcorn, shoes and brush.  The Ms. Chillin' Stamp set is perfect for teenage girls and has words/phrases such as 'LOL', 'TEXT ME', 'Hangin Out', 'seriously' and more!   If you have girls - this is a MUST HAVE stamp set.

I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
