Second August Challenge

Hello everyone!  I am so excited to present my second design team layout for Picture This!  
Here is the fun challenge:  
We all look to find that perfect picture to scrap and show off to the world, but  over at "Picture This" they want you to look through your stash and find that "Not so perfect photo"!  You know the one that's out of focus, or where half the head is cut off or what about the one with the red eyes.  Any photo that you deem "Not so picture perfect"  will do for this challenge.  

The photo I came up with  for my layout is from many years ago.  I just could not ever think of getting rid of it but never thought of scraping it on a layout till now!   I am so grateful for this challenge to finally be able to use this "Not so Perfect" picture!   
My picture is of my two children all dressed up for Easter and so we naturally took photos of them.  But something went terribly wrong with the film (you know, the stuff you used to put in a camera)  and the photos ended up on top of each other.  
(But Ashley and Sky still looked so cute, so I kept the photo all these years!)  


                             

My April Babies by Lisa

I added lace through out my layout because 

I thought the mistake on the left side of the photo looked like some lace was put on the photo.

Here are some close-ups

Circles with brads and embroidery hoop. 

Brother and Sister friendships last forever!

I also entered my layout into two other challenges!

More than Words

The main challenge is based on a word  inspiration (Friends) and a creative (Circles) challenge!  For the circle part of the challenge, I incorporated different brads, and a lace embroidery hoop.  My photo is of my children who have had a loving friendship all their lives.  Which I am very grateful for!
The challenge is open to layouts, canvases, and art journal pages only.  It runs through  August 31st! Go on over and join the fun!

Archi-scrap

The August challenge's criteria is Butterflies!  Love them!  So it was really easy to add them to the page!  Let your imagine run wild with this challenge, so long as you add butterflies!  This fun challenge runs through August 31st.  

 I hope you will join in all the fun over at Picture This (two challenges a month),

More than Words (One challenge that last for the whole month),

and

Archi-scrap (One challenge a month also)!  

Thank you for dropping by and I really appreciate all your lovely comments!  

Looking forward to seeing what you create!
