awkward.

I’m sure the suspense is just killing you, so here is my layout for the Such Sweet Tierney revealOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA         This is my brother and his friend at their 8 graduation back in June – and this is definitely my favourite picture from the whole night. Every time I look at it I just crack up. How classic? Love it. We did actually end up getting a good one of the two of them, they just had to work themselves up to it – hence, this picture. Here is the good one. P62451940

Ps- Wes has style eh? I mean, c’mon, white suit, pink shirt. Veery nice and he knew what he wanted and picked it out all on his own. Although he does have a good style icon to model himself after if I do say so myself. Prom 2007!!!! 03722 (You’ll have to excuse the awful, aaawful hair style and the baby fat)

Changing the subject. . . .OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA         I need to figure out a better way to make those little rosettes – or at least to adhere them to the cardstock – or something because they were tedious, and now the ends keep popping up. I just used Zots glue dots. I tried to use my sewing machine and then pull the top stitch to gather the edge but the fabric i used was too stretchy and that didn’t work out so well. Aaanyways, if you have any great tips for making rosettes I’d love to hear them.

Also, this layout is inspired by a Maggie Holmes layout I saw, I think its in her Studio Calico gallery this month, but I’m not 100% sure.

If you have any questions about process or products you can leave a comment or email me, whatever’s easiest.

I am going to nap I think, and then I think I’m going to see Funny People this evening.

  9. Here is a link on how to make paper rosettes but I am sure you can use the same technique for fabric ones.
