Get Picky!!

Have you heard there's a new challenge blog,
"Get Picky"
This one is all about creating with
multi-photos... something that I really enjoy in my scrapping! 
I'm very excited about their challenges and I hope to participate in them whenever I get the chance.
The first sketch went up on their blog on the 15th, which also happened to be Wave of Light, Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.  We lit our special candle that night in observance of this day and in remembrance of our angels.   I took some great photos to commemorate what we do on this day every year, and they were a perfect fit for Get Picky's first sketch!  Here's my page...

and here's the sketch, Get Picky Sketch #1...

I tried to be a little creative by creating a large flame for my background image in place of the sketch's circle.  I also got to play with some of the new Tradition line from Fancy Pants.  I love the flocked red damask transparency... it's gorgeous! 




Tomorrow will be a fun day... spending the day in Lancaster!  We're going to a Britt Nicole, Revive and Hawk Nelson concert!  My niece loves Hawk Nelson, and her Birthday is coming up November 27th, so we are taking her and her boyfriend along with us for an early Birthday surprise!  I know she's going to be soo excited!  We're also going to do some outlet shopping and get dinner before the show.  Times to Remember, an awesome scrapbook store located at the Hershey Outlets just recently opened up their second Times to Remember location at the Rockvale Outlets in Lancaster... sooo you know where I'll be headed! :D Have yourselves a good one... I plan to!

Absolutely beautiful!!! Love the way you created the flame!

cool! Going to have to plan a day trip out to Lancaster one of these weekends to check out the new store! I've wanted to visit the store but Hershey was always a bit too far of a drive.

Your work always leaves me breathless, Andrea. I would have never thought to try to interpret a flame on a page - the whole page is gorgeous!
