I finally completed a layout...
WooHoo!!!
Of course it's my Bethie's Prom Night, and her looking so perfect in her dress. I am a bit frustrated though... the ink in my printer has decided it wants to ruin everything, and it's not drying on the photographic paper. Already the photo in the layout has some colour rubbed off - but I'm hoping it won't show too much. Beth's sister Naomi bought her the corsage (she was robbed, by the way! *lol*) and the pearl-top pin stuck into the photograph was in the centre of one of the white roses.

There is a fair bit of stitching - two ovals around the photo... you just can't see it too well. I used MME papers and also a couple of pieces I cut from sheets from the Mariposa range. The larger flowers are some I made ages ago, the lace was a bargain from Hobbycraft, the pearl brads from Papermania, and the brad centres of the smaller flowers are Basic Grey. The lettering is American Crafts - I've had these stickers for years! I also used Perfect Pearls here and there.
The photograph does her no justice at all... the dress was made especially for her (and then she went and lost weight after the fitting and before Prom!), and is a soft sage green shot through with golds and pale blue. It really is stunning. There are so many photographs I'd like to make layouts with from this night... so I think I may have to make a mini-album instead *lol*
**EDIT
I changed the layout slightly - added more pearl brads, and layered another (not ruined) photograph on top of the original... I'm much happier about it now.
P.S... Thank you so much for all your comments! My baby (16, but truly still my baby!) thinks she's horrible looking - and I'm sure that all your lovely comments about her will help bolster her confidence.
