The Dress

Good afternoon!! It's been a few days. We had a super busy weekend, with Lilah's party on Friday, which was a blast, of course!! Lots of family, food, and fun. Then Saturday, just busy with family stuff, and I worked all day Sunday. I did get a little bit of scrapping time in, however!!
Here's a layout for the June challenge at Once Upon A...Sketch. This will be the last time I will be doing their challenges as a participant, because my 1 year DT term begins next month!! I can't wait! The theme is "Birthdays" and I chose to journal about this dress that I made for Lilah's party. I fussy cut the photo because the backdrop was ugly, and I felt it well displayed the dress to go with the theme of my layout! I used the fun dress pattern-like papers from Crate's Pretty Party collection, and just layered the pieces I cut out behind my photo. I also used a couple bits of scrap fabric from the dress to help the colors tie together better. My journaling is hidden, see photo.
I have so many many many birthday photos to scrap, I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot of them!! Erin was nice enough to play photographer for me, so I wouldn't worry about not taking enough photos while busy with the party! Thanks again, Erin!
