My Baby Girl is Graduating!

Happy Tuesday!  I have a scrapbook page to share with you today.    My baby girl who is definitely no baby any more will be graduating in a few days.    I guess I need to go ahead and stock up on some kleenex.   I am so proud of her.    I thank God for all His many blessings and insight through the years.   I continue to pray for guidance and direction for the University years.    For this page I have scrap booked her Senior picture.  It is a 6 x 6 scrapbook page.  I like to scrapbook this size because I can always add it to a 12 X 12 page either as a stand alone or with other images or details.  This size always works in a crunch. 

 This page is for ODBD Shining the Light Challenge (ODBDSLC17).   The scrapbook challenge for May is to: create a layout of any size using ODBD stamps and the sketch below with a twist--you must also use circles.  

I started with some rich deep purple card stock.  I created some background paper by placing the words from ODBD Large Scrapbook Words set onto an acrylic grid.  I used versamark to stamp the words through out.  I went back in and filled in with the OXOX to comply with the added challenge twist to use circles.  I ink distressed the edges.   I stitched this panel to the base.  

The elements were done with a portion of the sentiment from ODBD Dreams set stamped and die cut onto a circle and layered with a circle.  For the other elements I used flowers to emphasize more circle twist requirements per the challenge.  I also added some green gems to the leaves for added circle requirements.  I finished with a handwritten flag at the top that I zig zag stitched  for added detail.  

As always thanks so much for stopping by!
