Dance Recital ~ Sketchabilities Sketch #73

Hi everyone!!!  Today is the 15th of the month and that means it's another sketch reveal over at Sketchabilities...  If you're a regular fan over at Sketchabilities then you know the fabulous sketches Karan Gerber creates...  Well, this one is no exception...  Gorgeous!!!

Here is Sketch No. 73..

So many possibilities with this one...  I decided to just use 1 photo and I used different embellies in place of the clouds and a banner.  Which is just fine...  Remember, you don't have to follow it perfectly, it's also to give you inspiration

Hi everyone!!!  Today's Anniversary reveal over at Practical Scrappers was to use 2 photos on a layout!!  2nd Anniversary - 2 photos -- get it!!!lol..

Anyway, I decided to go way back to January, 1980 and scrap these precious photos of my son Levi   (Savannah and Colten's Dad)..  He was 2 1/2 months old here and just too cute...  Levi was a very small baby when he was born... 5 lbs. 6.5 oz. and lost down to 5 lbs. 1 oz before we went home from the hospital...  I'm talkin' tiny..   And it took a while for him to fill out but when he did...  well, all I can say now is he's right at 6 feet and not so little anymore!!!  :o)
