Challenge #1

Finally!! I get to blog, if I didn't have a job I would be doing really well, but unfortunately one must work in order to shop.
This past Friday I was home with a major stomach virus, yes I'm all better thanks for all your concerns. Thankfully I found the energy later in the evening to start my first challenge. The challenge was to be inspired by something in your closet. Now you would think this task would be easy for someone who has a lot in her closet, fact is I think I have too much. Deciding what to use was VERY hard. I found a dress which sorry to say still had tags on it (ooops) sorry I felt fat, can't wear everything. I made Jared snap a photo of me in it, although he cropped my face off, guess he thought I was having a bad hair day, let's just hope thats the case :)
Here is the challenge...you can click on image to enlarge


Here is the results...


Here is the inspiration...
Let me know what you think? I think it came out really cute. The photos were taken this summer at the beach in the Hamptons, its of my neice Madison and nephew Oliver playing in the water. I am really obsessed with the antiquing technique that I learned at Portrait Bug, I can't stop doing it. It really softens up the layout.
Valentines day is coming up...if anyone is interested in giving a handmade gift like a picture frame or small album, let me know, I can definitely help out :)

  1. i think it looks great! i must say i think they all do! great job! the problem with what your doing is now you'll never look at any scrap of paper, ribbon, card etc. the same way again! all you'll want to do is save them for a future page. now not only will your closet be full you'll have to have shopping bags full of all these "treasures" everywhere. take it from one who finds it difficult to throw out a good piece of ribbon, etc!!! hahaha.
