Silly Girl.

One day back in May I asked my daughter to let me take a nice photo of her new hair highlights.  She is 10 years old, and this is what I got when we went out into the yard and began.

Picture me the entire time being totally frustrated and yelling, “Please just give me ONE GOOD SHOT!  That’s all I ask! JUST ONE!”  ha ha

And this is what I got:

I kinda like it.  It really represents who she is right now, always flashing the peace sign and saying “peace out” instead of “goodbye” to someone.  She cracks me up.  But  I swear to you I grew a couple of new gray hairs that day.

Then a few days later on Mother’s Day I asked my husband to take a photo of me with my daughter.  And here’s what I ended up with after EVEN MORE of those goofy face photos.

ONE photo I really like.

And this is what I did with it:

It was a challenge over at Practical Scrappers that week to use transparency in some way, and that whole black swirly frame above is a transparency.  I just put it down over my photo.  I used a rub-on from Imaginisce (I think) on top of the transparency and I also stamped the month and year on top of the transparency.  And because I can’t stand to finish a page without adding something sparkly to it I also added some dark pink rhinestones on there too, which you can’t see very well in the above photo.   Hopefully you can see them if you look closely enough!
