Sparkle and Shine Challenge # 23

Hi there and welcome back to my blog.

It's time for another challenge at Sparkle and Shine Challenge. We have a great inspiration photo for you. I'm not going to share it here. I want you to hop over to the blog and check it out and also all the fabulous creations by the rest of the DT.

This month our challenge is sponsored by the awesome Create A Smile Stamps. A $25 gift card...WOW!!!

I created a layout for this challenge using a photo of my brother and sister-in-law. We always tease both of them that I can NEVER seem to get a decent photo of them!!

I was inspired by the inspiration photo to use the love theme and my "bling" this month is the gorgeous gold foil doily and alphas.

PP, stickers, ribbon tag, doily, ephemera: Crate Paper

Ink, Die: Tim Holtz

 

Here are a couple of close-ups.

 

I  hope you get a chance to play along!
