Hello Peeps !!!
 
Happy Tuesday !!!
 
Woohoo!!! I just hit 1,000 followers !!!!!! AWESOME!!! What a wonderful way to start my day!
 
It has been a while since I made a scrapbook page, so here it is.
I wanted to create a scrapbook page that has a bit of romance in it. I decided to work on some pics that we took in Vegas. I started out with a Gray background, added dsp pages on the sides and
added the pictures in varying sizes. I am not really big on embellishments, so i just use the antique brads and a few Crumb Cake stitching.  Hope you like it.
