My Wish 4 U

So, was inspired a bit this evening to get this photo that was hanging out on my scrap desk onto a page. Check out the Once Upon A Sketch blog for their July Challenge.

Check out the lyrics that I included. Yes, I am pretty sure I am violating some kind of copyright thing, but they played this song at her 4th Grade Graduation and I almost cried. Check them out here, for some reason I can't cut and paste them.

This page is one side of a double page spread. I have a few other cute photos I need to use. I am going to use the piece of paper I had left over on the flip side. That page will have to be FLAT since this one has so much dimension. I want to flush out my journalling there and talk about how well she's done this year with a new school and her new friends. I have a really cool friend photo to use! And of course one with her and her teacher, and also Grandparents.

So, I made this paper myself. It is some from my stash. Plain white Doodle Bug Designs paper with the embossing turned into this really awesome piece with some Sweet Clover Glimmermist and then some black ink rubbed over the top of it. It was either that or wait since I don't have any lime green paper I wanted to use in my stash. At my previous house, this would require a trip to the store and some happy browsing, but an invention seems to have worked in this case!

I made the flowers myself too. Remember that post where I was talking about all those silk flowers I came home with? Yes, black glimmermist and some sparkles really turned them around! And my button butterfly is one off a pair of jeans that recently gave up their life due to multiple rips! They were Lexi and I had to pry them off her since she loved them so much. Thought the least I could do was save a butterfly.

Stay tuned, I might be posting that next page tomorrow...it's laid out in my head and started on my desk....
