She smiled...the last time we talked.

Had a wonderful weekend going to yard sales with a new friend and we had a fabulous time together. I also had time to create all sorts of pieces. I like to keep at least one or two projects completed on the side in case life interrupts my blogging and I realized I didn't have any. I really worked hard to make some. LOL.It's hardly work at all. This week for 100 proof press, I decided to make a collage when I saw this beauty  from Dezinaworld. There is a spot prize at Dezinaworld "celebrate your homeland." and this Victorian street scene is my homeland in another life.....

So, I stamped and embossed with gold, the 100 proof press large gilded picture frame (4058-WC) to highlight this beauty with attitude. I added a black skeleton leaf and a gold charm to her picture frame. This was layered upon a vintage city scene with corner flourishes and put on patterned paper. Some black german scrap, a sprinkle of rhinestones and the sentiment. "She smiled, the last time we talked you didn't want me to go at all." and my beauty was ready to go.

Hope you will smile with attitude this week.
yours truly, gerri
