Homecoming

Last Saturday night was my daughters
first homecoming!! She was excited!!
She looked so beautiful, and so grown up!!
Where has my baby gone?? *sigh*
Here are a couple of layouts I have finished
from her big night!!

For sb dot com's 2 photo challenge.
Since her dress was black and white
I tried to stick to that theme.
For this one I used a doily and some lace
to spice it up!! The 'card' on the side is really
the ticket for the evening, and the ribbon
beside it was on the little gift bag that was
given out to each person.

This one is for the multi photo challenge at
sb dot com and also for the
sketchablities challenge.
I really liked this sketch!! It was fun
to put together!! This is Vashti getting her hair done
before the event.
I kept with the black and white
and use coral to spice it up!! I added prima
flowers, and zva bling. I used my grand calibur for the pix,
love that gadget!! I used fiskars border punches
for the edges, and for the 'leaves' on the flowers.

Sorry about the poor pix!! My camera died the
night of homecoming. I was so sad!! I hope to get
a new one soon!! Anyone have a favorite
point and shoot camera that they would recommend??
There are so many to choose from. I want something
not to complicated, but takes good pictures, not to expensive
and that fits easily in my purse. Thanks for any advice you can give!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
I hope you have a wonderful,
love filled weekend!!

Until next time....................tootles!!

Weekend Layouts!!

Hello!! So glad to have you stop in to visit.
I spent most of my weekend
working on layout challenges.

First one:
Sketchablities. I loved the sketch they
have posted, although I didn't do it
near the justice it deserves!!
I used my cricut with the SCAL program to cut the doily
and the banners. I used a MS punch for the smaller
butterlies. I used the grand calibur to cut the large butterfly
and the other shapes on the lo!!


And lastly, my least favorite!! *L*
I struggles with so much!! I think I worked
and re-worked it for a week!! ugh!!
It's for the past pagemaps challenge
over at scrapbook dot com, week 1.

That's it for now!!
Thanks again for stopping by!!
LOVE to have you visit!!
