Your Smile....

Happy Monday!!!! I got a chance this morning to play with these pretty papers and this precious little photo of my niece, Hadley. 

 I used the sketch at Sketchabilities. I am so loving how soft and just pretty this layout is.

heart & soul....

 I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend! I was inspired to play with this card sketch over at Sketch~N~Scrap....

I decided to go straight to the scrap boxes for this card. What better way to use up bits and pieces that you just can't bring yourself to throw away?!!! I used a black base for the card so these yummy colors would really pop. All these patterned papers literally were just scraps...but I knew I would use them one day, hee hee...today was the day.

Stuck on U....Beautiful....

So happy that I got to play along today at Stuck on U Sketches! This sketch is just fabulous....

 My niece, Ashlea just graduated junior high and they had a "prom" at the end of the school year. She is nothing more than stunning in this photo. 

Rather than going on bling overload, I chose to stamp some flourishes and add bits and pieces of bling as not to distract from her lovely photo. So very pleased with how simple, clean,  yet elegant this page is.
