I was so inspired by this amazing layout by Tessa HERE that I made this birthday layout for myself:
(Man, that's a bad picture! I'll try to take a better one later today in better light!)
I used this week's Design Dollies sketch and also w i d e l y interpreted their elements challenge "showers & flowers" (the layout is "showered" with tons of mist, lol!).
I also had the Who's That Girl "Distinguishing Feature" challenge in mind when I made this. I have been told as long as I can remember that I don't look "that old" whatever the age happened to be. I was, no joke, still frequently carded until I was 37. (And then, for some reason, it shut off abruptly like a switch...I blame the crazy kids. Bitter? Me? Nooooooo...)
And, if you read the journaling you may have a sudden urge to kick off your Sunday shoes and cut footloose. I've used a line from the song Footloose which is the challenge song over on Scrapping the Music.
Of course, I must send a shout out and wave a big hello to my girl Diana for the gorgeous flower! You can find similar ones in her etsy store!!!!
Off for a fun day with the kids...the boy's basketball game and then to his school carnival!!!

ReplyDeleteHope your birthday rocked!!!! Love this page! cool way you did that ribbon and the stitching is awesome. Love it all... of course!!!
ReplyDeletebeautiful!! and i love how you incorporated the "footloose" lyrics into your journlaing about your b-day!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY HEIDI!!!!!! What a fab layout-- brings back memories for me! And by the way, I too was carded until I was 32...how funny. Let's hope our "young" genes stay put even in old age. I like the stitching and journaling...and that you used both Glimmer and Maya mists on this layout -- they're so radically different but you used them so effectively. Thanks for inspiring me today. xoxo
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!!! Love the layout!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday!
