Back in October of 1999





Back in October of 1999, Steve and I got married! This was way before we got a digital camera! I don't miss my old camera at all!! Anyway, I was inspired by two challenges for this one!  I'm out of my comfort zone for both of them. I created the background by using a 12 x 12 mask.  First, I daubed some silver Adirondack paint on a few of the circles and the center "flower" and then sprayed the whole thing with some Tattered Angels mist.  This took care of the Ella Publishing company Spring Training Day 8 challenge to make your own custom-designed background.  The colors and everything else were part of a challenge (new to me) called Creative Prompts, and their Challenge # 63: Mysterious Glamour was to use this picture as inspiration!  It looks like it fits Lasting Memories latest challenge, too!! (It's all about you.)   So, I'm entering it there also!!! :-)

    Wow nice job creating your own background and using that picture for inspiration. Don't know if I could have done the same.

    The misting looks gorgeous! I saw this mask last weekend and thought it was so cool.

    Butterflies and birds!! How sweet this layout is. This is so pretty!!!!!!! I love the simplicity of this! I tend to have some pages that I might add too much... and others I go for the simple approach because i want those pictures to stand out more. This is perfect!! Thanks for showing us at Lasting Memories!!
