This photo has been moving up and down in my To Be Scrapbooked pile for years. Many times it's even got as far as the table, but it's never made it onto the page until now. For many reasons: it's been difficult to match it with any background card, probably because of all those bright moire taffeta dresses (mine was raw silk - classy)! The photo has also faded so much, and I don't know what the photographer was doing using bronze velour curtains for a backdrop. Most of all, I just don't like the photo. It was an awful night, I looked like crap, was horrible to my date, and generally did not have a good time!
But I did it! I used Jowilna's sketch at Scrapbook Challenges, a background of core-dinations and I controlled my doodling. The photo did nearly get completely ruined when I was a bit ambitious with my misting, but luckily I was able to unattach it from the original card - says a lot for my adhesive skills! I've also learnt to sand the cardstock (with a nail file) outside, as I'm going to have to actually clean my table before I do another layout.
The page is more purple than the photo shows. The journaling reads: Bad Hair, Bad Dress, Good Mates, it must be the 80s.
