Celebrate Prom!

Good morning!  Tonight is Cort's very last prom.....I know I will be crying a bucket of tears.  Her journey has taken a new direction and all that she has known has changed.  The change has been good, but nevertheless, a change.  It is definitely bitter sweet.  

In honor of Cort's last prom, how about a pretty lil' dress box today?  

The dress was cut out using my Silhouette.  

I stamped the dress with JustRite's new, Create a Flower Garden     stamp.  It was stamped with Versamark and embossed in white.  I sponged Tim Holtz inks around the dress panel in pink, orange, and yellow.  I splattered a bit of water over it and colored in the flowers with my Zig Watercolor Markers. I added a sentiment from SRM Stickers, and tied twine from the Stamp Simply Store.   

Even though prom is actually tonight, I always take Cortney's individual pictures a couple of weeks in advance.  This allows me to concentrate on taking pictures of her with her friends. 

My sweet happy girl...... 

Prom 2016!

Thank you for stopping by today!

Vintage Take on the Same Card!

Good morning! As promised I have a second take on Monday's card.  This version is much more my style.....shabby.  ;)  I used a fluffy pink yarn as my "thread."  I used this gorgeous Prima flower, a doily, ribbon and a couple of stick pins to finish it off.  It was a fairly simple card to make, and I was happy with the results.

Cort's prom is not until the beginning of May, but last year we waited a bit too long and the dresses were picked over.  So I am glad we went early enough to find a dress that we all could agree on.  (My husband has strong opinions about what she should wear!) ;)

I love the shading of blue, the tulle, and the sequins.  It is a color that works for her. 

I have to laugh because my husband said to me, "Now we just need to go to Charmin' Charlies for accessories."  LOL! Now that's an involved Dad! ;)

I am keeping it short and sweet today.  I have to shovel all of the very wet snow off my van and driveway before heading to work.  : O

Have a great day!!!
