Stuck?! March 15th Sketch Challenge

I seem to be doing an awful lot of scrapping lately...it will all come to a full stop soon, as we're heading off to QLD for a few weeks...so April will see my V-E-R-Y quiet! Meanwhile, I really want to finish off a couple more pages & put my 'mini me' album together. I was looking for a different photo today, & came across this one & thought it would make a good page for my little album...so pulled out the Stuck?! sketch & adapted it to my smaller page.
Here's the sketch:
 And here's what I did with it.... it's much harder on a smaller page. And a BIG shout out to Mary B for the 'goodies' of which she'll recognise quite a few here:):)

My whole LO. I can't believe I wore such short shorts...as bad as the young 'uns today!!!!

I've stamped the words & flower on the background, then altered the butterfly with perfect pearls...lovely things!


My hidden journalling [a must with this sized page] is tucked under the photo...you can JUST see the mist I've sprayed on the green card.
My journalling..only read if you're interested...

That's it from me...the photo I WAS looking for was when I was in Grade 5 [10 years old] & I found it! So that one will be the 'end' of my mini album. Hopefully I'll get it scrapped tomorrow:)
Have a lovely weekend,
Lizzy H 

OOOH! And some other Good News --- sort of--- my Kraft It Up entry is being published in Scrapbooking Memories...as well as another LO of Neri's baby shower that I didn't put into a challenge. So I'm feeling rather THRILLED about all that:):)

  8. Hi Lizzy! thrilled to hear about some upcoming pubs in SBM. Will definitely be looking out for those. I love that you're doing a mini album and this photo is SOOOOO cute and funny!! You've turned the sketch into an amazing page - the stamping is lovely, with the patterned papers and the stringy circle. Looking forward to seeing the whole album?!
