Joy! Ballerina Paige

I posted a while back about a mystery contest that Sir Stampalot and Floral Fantasies are having (see their post here) ... well I finally got my layout finished for the challenge. The deadline is tomorrow at midnight GMT which is in about ... um ... yeah, well I can't figure that out but it's soon!! Yikes! Talk about cutting it close!!
Because Sit Stampalot is celebrating the grand opening of their new store, the theme prompt for the challenge is "MOVING" - however we interpret that. I immediately thought I'd do something on when we moved into our new house a couple years ago but ... I did this instead:


Shortly after buying my new Canon Rebel T1i, Paige had her first ballet class of the new year so I took my camera along and "played" while watching her. I had printed off a few pictures intending to use them on my Project 12 January 2010 layout but they got left on the cutting room table (so to speak!) Greg had picked one up and said how cute it was and I knew I wanted to use them but the question was how? Then Sketchy Thursday's latest sketch popped into my head and the rest was easy!

Here are some detail shots:


There was no spot on the sketch for journalling so I tucked a card in behind one of the pictures.



I figure by the time I actually get around to working on Paige`s album, it`ll be half done already! Of course, at the rate I`m going, Paige will be a Grandma by the time I finish Marley`s album and am ready to work on hers!!!

Today I am grateful for ...
... ProD days ...
... wearing pj`s until 10am ...
... babies that take 2 hour morning naps and allow Mama to start and finish an entire layout!
