wow!!! i cant believe that tonight is the last night for our Design Team to meet :(
i cant believe a whole year has gone by!!! man, time has flown by. it seems like we were just meeting for the first time yesterday...... im kinda blah - cause i dont want to see it end....we all had soooo much fun - especially working on the group challenges!!!! i am so lucky to have worked with such a talented group of ladies....
and great coordinator - thank you melissa!!!!!you totally ROCK :)thanks for everything you did to keep our creativity flowing and keep us thinking outside our box!!!!! its sad to see it end.....and last, but not least, i want to say a BIG thank you to JANET!!!! and her fabulous staff!!!! i am very thankful for the opportunity i have had in being part of such a wonderful Design Team at Treasured Memories!!!!!

well here it is....my final layout ...so i thought that i would go with the theme of christmas , since we are literally days away - can you believe it????
soooo, i am totally hooked on the webster pages line of (christmas) paper...its sooooooooo beautiful!!!!it l;iterally took me nearly 3hrs in cutting time alone to prepare this layout! - YES, 3 hours..... but the whole while , i was thinking of just how i would be creating my design....so i used:
....i also accented the piece with webster pages embellishments - , ribbon, buttons,trinkets.....
i chose this picture of felix from my christmas 2005 collection...he was not so happy to take this picture......he was going through a stage in which he ALWAYS wanted to wear a bow tie---ha ha ha...and a red one at that!!! so we were getting ready to take the picture and he wanted his bow tie-of course it couldnt be found... so i had to make one using abby's hair ribbons....the picture turned out priceless though.....i added my little touches therefor concluding this project.
