Happy Tuesday my friends! I'm popping into share a card I made several months ago but it never made it to the blog! For the background stamp, I used a floral Hero Arts background stamp that the super sweet Anita sent to me as a thank you. I put several distress inks on a craft mat and sprayed them with water before inking up the stamp. I love the blend of colors. Added a few buttons and vintage ribbon from my Nana to finish it off.
And...I am so happy that I'm doing digital Project Life. Two months in and I have eight pages created. I'm really considering switching over to this for the boys' albums. Now that I have very, very basic PhotoShop skills it is going quickly. So...here are pictures from our show choir road trip1
I had to pull this one out even though it is in the layouts below. We were just about to leave to go to the hotel and I asked my mum to get with Ryan for a picture...do you love how she's giving the star a kiss? Gave us all a good laugh!
The competition started at 8:30 in the morning and we got there around 1:30. Ryan's group was performing at 3:30. Here we all are enjoying the show (on the right hand side). It's really like going to a rock concert as great music is played in between the shows too...and the groups will get up and dance and sing to whatever they are playing.
Ryan's group came in 2nd for their division during the day and placed 5th overall (out of 15 or 16 groups). The groups at this competition were the best I've ever seen, so I was super pleased that they made it to the night show. They performed again at night and came in 5th again. So pleased for them. We really didn't see Ryan much at all during the day as after they perform they go to video review and before they perform they warm up for a good hour ahead of time. I wasn't leaving though until I snapped a few pictures.
After they performed at night, we went pack to our hotel and yes...we enjoyed our bottle of wine!
