MPS DT 2012 CALL CHALLENGE

This is my entry for the MPS DT 2012 CALL CHALENGE!!!
The colors required for the challenge are, Orange, Turquoise, Green, Brown (opt. another color of my choice) I chose Cream!
I decided to do a layout this time! I began with selcting my background paper: My Minds Eye
My cartridges are : Don Juan for the lettering cut @ 2 1/2"
                             Sweet Treats: Cake & Hat cut @ 2 1/2"
                             Picturesque: Butterfly cut @ 2 1/2"-glittered with Martha Stewart's glitter pen
Buttons are from my stash, twine is from "The Twinery"
I used small lime green floral brads on the sign!
My journaling was done on the computer the distress ink-antique linen by Tim Holtz was used along the edges.
The theme is a birthday celebration for my father's 75th  which was 4yrs ago.
It just so happens that some of the colors are also worn by my family and friends....
I hope you will be inspired to use some of your older photos and bring life to them by doing a page layout!
There are so many memories in photos that you can re-live the event again by doing a beautiful lay out.
Thank you for stopping by....leave me a comment so I will know you came by for a visit.
