DigiDares 411-When I Grow Up...

This week's challenge at DigiDares was to scrap about what we wanted to be when we grew up.  It needed to include a photo of ourselves as a child with an antique frame.  There also needed to be torn paper, a paint splatter, and an arrow.  I really wanted to be a stewardess when I grew up, but now the politically correct title is "Flight Attendant."  I have always loved animals so I used one of my favorite portraits of myself with my cat Punkin.  Since my main career was teaching, I included a chalkboard.  Now, I am retired from teaching and I rescue cats.  The arrow points back at my portrait.

DigiDare 410-Weddings

The digidare for this week was to scrap a wedding.  We needed to include something old, something new, something blue, and the number representing the years married.  I compiled a page with vintage style images representing 50 years of marriage.

Digi Dares 409-Proud

The host this week for Digi Dares is Crafty Button Designs.  She challenged us to use a plain background, geometric shapes, stitches, and the word "proud."  I must say I steer away from plain backgrounds and geometric shapes so this was, indeed, a challenge.  Here's what I created:
