Sweet Smile ~ Practical Scrappers Tag Challenge -- CHOSEN AS A TOP THREE OVER AT INCY WINCY!!

Hi everyone!!!   My layout today is for the "Tags on Layout Challenge" reveal over at Practical Scrappers.  The tag I used is the same one I made here for Practical Scrappers CMT (Challenge Me Tuesday) Challenge - Raw Chipboard, back in May, 2011...  I've held onto it just waiting for that special project to use it on and I think it goes perfect along with the photo of  my daughter Amanda, on this Spring layout...  We were talking about this photo this weekend and neither one of us know exactly when it was taken...  She said she thought she was around 14 or 15 years old, so that would make it around 1996 or 1997..  My husband's boss took the photo at a summer backyard picnic.. and I just found it the other day and right away I knew I had to scrap it...

Here are a few close ups....

Here is a close up of the Chipboard Tag, and again, you can find the details here.....  You can also see a little of my masked flourishes made with the Crafters Workshop Swirls & Flowers Template, and some of the Distressed Edges....

Distressed Edges,  more Masked Flourishes made with the Crafters Workshop Swirls & Flowers Template, If you look closely you can see that I also used the Chicken Wire Template from The Crafters Workshop, MS Garden Trellis Deep Edge Punch, SU Big Shot Big Lattice Die, Ribbon and Heart Gem attached to Tag..

More Distressed Edges, More Swirls & Flowers and Chicken Wire masking from the Crafters Workshop  Templates,  MS Garden Trellis Deep Edge Punch, MS Wild Flowers Deed Edge Punch, MS Doily Lace Trim Deep Edge Punch, Ribbon, Marvy Scallop Circle, and Misc Sticker..

Creative Cuts and More Film Strip..; Practical Scrappers Challenge Me Tuesday - Cork Challenge

Hi everyone!!!  I swear I'm loosing my mind! lol  I know I wrote this late last night, but where it posted, I don't have a clue!!

Anyway.. This is a layout I did using a Filmstrip - Large Die Cut from Creative Cuts & More...  They have so many die cuts in so many different colors and textures...  I love using them on my layouts whenever I can.. and you will too..

I also did this for the Practical Scrappers Challenge Me Tuesday "Cork" challenge..  I didn't have any cork in my scrap room, so I had to get a little creative...  I had some old coasters so I peeled the cork off, stuck it to a piece of cardstock and then ran it through the Big Shot using the Sizzix Tim Holtz Flourishes Die...  Love how it turned out... Also found some Cork Disks at my local grocery store and used those under my letters....

Now about my layout.... This is my little GS Zach taken in May...   He's wearing a bib because he is cutting teeth and drools all the time!!  You can actually see him drooling in the large photo!   This was the first time he got to spend the day with Grandma by himself... and we had a blast... He is such a sweet little guy..  We're going to have to do it again soon!!!

Here are a few close ups...
