Scrap N' Crafts

So my Granddaughter Torrie went to her Pageant this past weekend and of course we took like 200 pictures LOL! I am so excited to do the pages now. My son Todd was her escort he was dressed in a suit for the formal competition. He looked so nice and Torrie was in her formal dress so pretty. The picture below is the 2 of them together and of course more pictures to come. LOL! I am such a proud mom and Grandma of course.  My daughter was beside herself. It gave a break from everyday life and a way to dream. Torrie didn’t win the Pageant but she really had fun and enjoyed the hotel pool LOL! She won a trophy for participating and was so happy to get it she didn’t care if she won. And of course we told her she did a wonderful job. She did everything she was asked to do and didn’t get scared or stumble or freeze so she did awesome.  Her Uncle Todd bought a sash and crown so she knew she did a good job. She was in heaven.  Read more... (306 words, 1 image, estimated 1:13 mins reading time)

The page on the left has the pattern 12×12 paper for the background. Then I ran a piece of ribbon across the middle of the page on top of the mat I put center on the page.
