Dance

I made this LO as a thank-you gift for Alysa's dance teacher. Yesterday was her first dance recital. She was a superstar at age 4. I'm so proud of her. I framed this LO with an 8x8 acrylic frame. I attach a pink chiffon ribbon to allow for hanging and some Heidi Swapp clear bling to the outside of the frame. It really turned out awesome and she loved it.
Credits for the LO:
Digital materials: Hot Mama Glitz Design digital cd (pink paper, chandelier, crystals, damask design); sanded grunge overlay..Katie Pertiet; JEdwards BalletBrushes. crown..Dale Ann Cubbage.

Little Dancers...

A fun scraplift challenge at Songbird Avenue. I scraplifted Kate Teague's LO here, while using the March kit from Songbird Avenue, by Kate Teague, Jan Crowley, Maya & Meredith Fenwick. This was a challenge for me because of using the picture so large on the LO and I edited the photo to include a spotlight and brush texture. Alysa loves her dance, especially when I'm there taking pictures!! TFL!!

Juliya...RAK giveaway here!!

I'm honored to be part of the memories leading up to the adoption of this precious little girl. This family is blessed to be adopting her all the way from Russia. They needed help making a memory book for her to keep until she gets to come "home". Some of the journaling is in Russian to help her caregivers read the book to her. Juliya is about 28 months old...so we have laminated a copy for her to keep. Thanks for visiting!! Leave me some love and good wishes for this family on this post and I'll draw a random winner for an acrylic "house" album from Pageframe Designs! I'll draw a winner on Sunday April 6th!!!!
