Candice McLean & friend Nicole

I know, I know. This layout has been a long time coming. Let me just assure you, my being tardy in this particular instance isn't due strictly to a predilection for procrastination. I mean, it's not as if I was sucked into a 2 month-long "Real Housewives" special or something (I wish). The stark fact is, I am intimidated to be part of the Lucky 13. Just a bit. I mean just look at the 2 lovely layouts already posted for February. They're so, I don't know, 3D and with so many pretty goodies to look at. As much as I love shopping for scrapbook embellishment (and who doesn't?), I just can't make them work for me. I'm a simple scrapper through and through although I'm hoping to learn from these "Luckies" each month and maybe, just maybe, get brave and try new techniques. I also reserve the right to continue to tweak any layouts I post (we don't exchange them with each other until next year, after all). Who knows? Maybe by the time I hand this to Candice in person, it will be so deliciously piled high with colorful goodness, she won't even be able to squeeze her album shut. It could happen...

P.S. You see I couldn't resist a detail shot anyway, though. Still, I DID use dimensional glue dots to pop up an enlargement of Candice and her friend Nicole. I just felt like they really needed to look like they were jumping off the page- I love that these grown women are jumping on the trampoline- definitely people after my own heart. And then I panicked when I saw Cheryl's lovely layout of my photos with all the dimension so I added on this little K&Co brad. It's a start.
