thank you

Did you ever dream what you would say to your Great-grandparents (or a more distant ancestor) when you meet them in heaven? I have ...and this is where the idea of this layout came to be.
I used the awesome Noel Mignon "Playdate" kit and some products from her fun store to bring my idea to life. Her kits are AMAZING. I had to email her and express my joy when receiving my first kit! Her kits include an awesome compilation of the latest products. I liked how she allowed you to try many different embellishments by giving you smaller amounts of each one.

The flowers I made from ribbons in the kit and used this technique from Elizabeth Kartchner to create them.

Websters Pages makes the most gorgeous sticker alphabets called Storytellers and the Postcards from Paris sheet is so versatile and pretty. This shade of golden -taupey yellow is hard to find!
These photos are from my daughter's dance recital rehearsal in 2009. I just adored her costume in the peach and rose colors.
