Beautiful Princess ~ Practical Scrappers Sketch Challenge

Hello everyone!!! I'm so sad to see the weekend over. :o(   I've had my own little scrap retreat this weekend and I've completed 3 layouts!!!  WoooHooo, I haven't done that in a long time. 

This is the third layout I've done and it's a layout of little grand daughter, Savannah.  This is also one of the photos that was taken at The Smile House in San Marcos.   Laura Kay Wootan takes amazing photos and my picture doesn't do it justice...  But it's the best I can get, so it will have to do.  I can't believe how grown up Savannah looks in this photo.  So many friends and family actually thought she had make-up on..  But she doesn't, she's just a beautiful little girl...  I also did this for this week's sketch challenge over at Practical Scrappers.  This weeks sketch is from Ann-Katrin, and it's a pretty awesome sketch.  At first I wasn't going to play, only because I didn't have a clue what to do with it, but then I remembered what a very close friend told me not so long ago.. That was the reason for the challenge in the first place.. To search within ourself, try new things, and keep at it until you like what you see!!  Sometimes we have to go outside of our comfort zone.  Well, that's what I did on this layout.  I wasn't for sure where I was going or what it would look like when I got through with it.  I know, I know, it has a lot of bling, and I didn't add a lot of layers to it, like I usually like to do, and, it doesn't look like it would have taken all day to make, but it did!!!  Truth be told, I acrually like the way it turned out, and I'm sure Savannah will loooove it with all of the bling to match her princess outfit, including crown, earrings and high-heels..

This also qualifies for a few challenges, which are:
