I'm very excited today as I've just posted all the rules for the first challenge I've ever hosted at Swirlydoos! You need a Swirlydoos kit to participate, but there's a few kits still for sale in the Boutique. Head over there, pick yourself up one, and join in the fun. You'll find all the details of my challenge here.
Here's the layout I used for a sample.
These pictures are of my daughter, Melanie, 6 years ago when she graduated from high school. She has been studying at SAIT in Calgary, the past couple of years, for a Chemical Engineering Diploma and has done so well, and enjoys it so much, that she has decided to move down to Butte, Montana in the fall and pursue a Degree in Mechanical Engineering. I will miss her deeply, as she has turned into a wonderful companion, but I watch her leave with pride because I know she has strong wings carrying her, and she will, indeed, achieve the lofty goals she has set for herself.
The flowers that I've used on these were from a tutorial by Lisa Gregory. They took awhile to make due to drying, painting, etc, but they are so pretty they were definitely worth it. Here is a closer picture of the flowers.

The Dusty Attic chipboard was painted, very simply, with Pumpkin Smooch.
Around the edges of the photos, I created a "feathered" look with Distress Stain "Picket Fence".
I made an error on this layout, and had to cover it up by misting with Glimmer Mist "Midnight Blue", and I liked the effect so much that I let loose and misted everywhere! LOL. You will be able to see it better by clicking on the layout picture and enlarging it. Thank heavens for mistakes .... you learn so much from them!
I hope everyone is having a nice April 1st and that you didn't have any tricks played on you!
