The Girls Together - 21st Birthday

Me and the girls ready to go out on their 21st birthday, Andrew was away in America for the year as part of his physics degree course.



This is one of Paige Evans class layouts, Quilt background. I didn't have the paper Paige used, so I created my own circle and petals templates and cut the shapes from a sheet of Blooming Wild paper, #15.

I chose a sheet of Paige's Garden Shoppe paper # 4 for the background. In addition I used various enamel dots, Thickers and stickers.

The photo mats are made from scraps of Eacho Park - Here Comes The Sun - Brighten Your Day paper.

Thanks for looking.
