I combined Michele's (fmtinsley) birthday challenge with one at Peppermint Creative-it was called a blind scraplift. We had to follow written directions that the host gave us describing the features of a "mystery" layout she was looking at. Everyone has a week to do their interpretation, then the one closest to the original layout wins. It took a long time and because it was complicated, not many people have played. But it was interesting and I got to use a birthday kit I have from Peppermint Creative. I'll let you know how I did.
One of the things we had to use were sepia-toned photos--I removed the color from my two photos and added the sepia. I think I like them better in color.
P.S. I absolutely hate that top photo of me!! lol

I love the sepia photos paired with all the bright and fun PP's! I love both pictures of you. In a few years I bet you will love that picture of yourself. It happens to me all the time
