Alyssa

Love the dark moodiness of the top photo and the gold adds the glitter! Beautiful LO!0

LOVE your cluster work and the use of the gold scatter on the bottom paper!

Blending the large photo with a black paper is brilliant! It masks most everything and highlights her beautiful smile! I love all the gold, glitter confetti falling to the bottom of the page! The cluster and gold frame adds a certain elegance to this page. This is stunning!!

I looked at that kit, of course drawn in by the shiny bits and wondered how I'd use it. What I wouldn't give for your talent at visualizing and creating, Jill! This is just spectacular! That photo blended in the background is just exquisite, and to blend it into a paper with that bit of a pattern is inspired! What a beautiful young lady and how lucky she is to have such a supremely talented gran! The shower of sequins tipped me over the edge, I need to mop up the drool from my keyboard.

I'm w Jeannie, you have mad skills. I need to give this technique a go. So you changed the pic to bw first and then any other secrets to share? I always love a good smudged edge, and a gold on black one is just fantastic. I also love the script stamp and way that sassy peacock is eyeing up your lovely girl. Jealous much? Lol

I absolutely love how your photo fades into the background! The black and gold is stunning and the glitter looks like it is falling down the page...such a great layout!

Alyssa is simply divine. This is just gorgeous. Your word art strips say it all, both about Alyssa and about the layout. I love how you tucked in the peacock into your divine black and gold cluster. The confetti looks in motion. Love the gold script behind the round picture. Just lovely.
