S.W.A.T.

My friend Bev Code told me about this new blog called Scrapbook Warriors Advanced Training (SWAT). The challenge for February 2 is "All About You". I had a hard time finding pictures of me - I'm usually the one BEHIND the camera! But after searching my photo boxes I finally found these pictures from 1996. My daughter and I had gone for glamour shots. You'd never know I was VERY sick that day! And the brand new hairstylist took HOURS to do my hair! But the pictures turned out really well and my husband actually keeps one in his wallet!
Anyway, here's my S.W.A.T submission for the February 2 challenge...
I cut the flowers from another sheet of paper and the “frame” around the pictures are strips cut from a third sheet. Everything on this page is VERY old!
Materials – Papers – My Mind’s Eye; Rhinestone & Pearl Element – K & Company; Rhinestones – Unknown; Letter Stickers – MAMBI; Pens – Sharpie, Pentel

How fun that you had the older pictures to use. I usually don't do too much about myself either so way to stretch yourself!

Fabulous fussy cutting. I was the same way with the picture...I'm always behind the camera too. Thanks for playing along at SWAT!

I just love that you found these photos to scrap, and used older products to boot! Don't tell, but I couldn't find a recent pic of me that I liked, so the one I used is 3 yrs old... So happy to have you join us at SWAT!
