Throwback Thursday Challenge #4

This weeks challange over at http://www.creativetimeforme.com/ is to use the Doodlecharms cartridge (which I don't have) and make a scrapbook page. I haven't done any scrapbooking in a few years. As I don't have the cartridge I used Paper Doll Dress Up and Stretch Your Imagination. I did a vacation page because I am also going to enter it for Tracy's challenge over at http://www.craftjunkietoo.com/

I am so excited I received two blog awards from Savahanna at http://svioratomora.blogspot.com/ . Savahanna has done some awesome cards and scrapbook layouts, so go check them out.






I will be passing along the awards to these following blogs that I love to follow.

Our 1st Wedding Anniversary

This is my husband on our wedding day 1 year ago today. Below is the anniversary card that I made for him. My sense of humour may be a bit warped but I was cracking up laughing the whole time I was making it. An artist I am not but I tried to make it look like him and I printed out the sentiment on the computer.
