(squeal of delight!!!)  I am .....
                                             GUEST DESIGNER for DECEMBER over at
                                              D-lish Scraps
    
 I really enjoyed working with the products.....some very pretty colours....I'm sure you'll agree.

The photo I scrapped is super special to me...it dates back to 1999.
It wasn't a fabulous pic quality wise...and I wanted it in B&W so I just took a pic of my photo with my Nikon D7000 and then changed and saved it in B&W.....presto!

 So here is my layout

{How gorgeous is that cameo!}

  Love the
               purple carnations
               white cameo frame
               carved resin rose
               mini metal flowers
               polka dot buttons-purple
               leaves
               paper doilies  

I also used pink paislee pp, graphic 45 pp, glimmermist....muslin and lots of machine stitching...which I love !

Just want to say a big THANKS to Amanda @ D-lish for giving me the GD gig for December.

I'll be back to show you some more of her amazing products very soon.
