Emma in between shows last Saturday. She is 7 1/2 and in her 6th Dance Recital.

 Her Great Grandmother said she was Born for the Stage. She is such a delightful little ham and a wonderful dancer.

A Recipe for Success!

Welcome to Jayne's challenge for the Two Scrapbook Friends 'Let's Connect Online Crop' and in this category it's all about 'Facebook' baby! In Jayne's words... I know how much you ladies love Christa's Recipe Contests which she runs periodically in the Forum, so I thought I'd do a similar thing here. Below you'll see I've taken a few of the most common elements associated with Facebook, alongside which is an explanation of the technique/embellishment you are required to include in your creation. I would like you to choose 3 (or more!) 'ingredients' for your recipe and include these on your card, layout or whatever other ingenious creation you would like to dazzle us with! Here are your options: Facebook: Include a photo/digi/stamp that is a close up or headshot. The 'Spotlight' technique would also qualify for the cardmakers amongst us. Wall: Use something to create a wall (stencil/embossing folder/die cut blocks or shapes). Post: Use journalling somewhere (strips, computer/handwritten, or a sentiment). Like: Use a favourite tool/embellishment. Tag: Use a tag. Friends: Include photographs of friends or some reference to the word friends in your title/sentiment. Poke: Include an arrow or pointed finger (like one of those cool vintage hand images with the pointed finger that seems to be popping up everywhere!). Albums: Use 3 or more photographs/images/stamps. Music: Use a song title or lyrics in your title/sentiment/journalling. Or you could even go literal here and use musical notes on your creation. Games: Include some reference to a game such as in your photo's/image, title, journalling, embellishments. So for my version of this challenge  I used 5 ingredients:   Facebook; Headshot/close up Photo Wall: Embossing folder of blocks/bricks for my wall Like: A favourite tool...I used my fav punch by Fiskars wavy bracket and Ranger distress ink (Anitque Photo) that I use on nearly every page. Friends: Use the word friends in the  title. Poke: Studio Calico HAPPINESS speech bubble.    Jayne said we only had to use 3 ingredients but most of my cooking recipes have 5 ingredients or less  so it was easy to add a few more when I started the embellishments. Check out this and other challenges at Two Scrapbok Friends forum.  Have fun.
