Well the end of the school year is here, and now it is time to enjoy all the graduation and prom pictures that were taken. This first layout I did,is of my daughter's best friend, since 4th grade and one of my adopted daughter's just to name a few. I love this picture, it is one of my favorites of her. She is such a beautiful girl inside and out. I got the inspiration for this page called Mixed Media Layout Tutorial- Once Upon a Sketch Oct. Challenge by Kelly Foster. I thought the tutorial worked really well with this photo. And I hope you agree?

I used Glitz papers, Dance in the Sunshine and 1 sheet of the Vintage Blue collection. That I had in my stash. I used gesso on the back ground, Then layered cut up stripes of the paper and layered them horizontal and vertical. I put Gesso the top of the strips of paper. then I used Twinkling H2O in Sea Spray to add to some color to the strips and highlight the edges with a charcoal pencil.
  Here is a close up shot of the layout, so you can see more of the detail.
 After alll the fun with the Gesso, H2O's and pencils, it was time for the layering I used some string to little metal frames, I got from a swap( wish I could remember who) then cut out two of the flowers from one of the sheets of paper, used a #8 tag, some cutouts from Prima Romance Novel Collection. Inked all the edges. Also used a yellow Gardenia from Stamping Scrapping , Premium Gardenia pkg. Pastel collection of 7. And the title is cut from a sheet of the Prima Lyric collection.

   I hope you enjoy this layout and watch Kelly Foster's video that inspired this layout.And I hope ya'll have have a great day. Till the next time.

Besides my work, I love cooking, photography, scrapbooking and anything to do with paper, such as altering things and mixed media. One of my dreams is to one day be on the Prima design team. Hey, a girl can dream. lol 
  
   I am also the mother of 3 beautiful children ( 1 boy who is 20 and 2 girls 19 and 15) They are my heart and reason for getting out of bed in the mourning. I am also engaged to one of the best man, since my father that I have known and also my best friend. 

   I am also wanting to study to become a wedding consultant. I love the creative freedom with  being one, and I am helping 3 of my friends with there weddings. Lol, they all refer to me as the creative one. Then on top of that most of them want me to be the photographer also. So why not do something I love and I know I can do and be good at it. And have fun in the process.
