Practically Perfect


We had such a wonderful time as Mary Poppins and Bert!  I am so particular at getting the costumes just right.  It is the "practically perfect" perfectionist in me!   We went to a party and our costumes were a big hit!  As for the sketch, I made it up myself.  I enjoyed using the frame for the word "in".  It was fun to coordinate a pop of color in the layout too. Thanks for popping by!

Here is a close up of the details:

Chim Chim Cher-ee


I am working on my 2014 album and finally made it to October!  We dressed up for a Halloween party as Mary Poppins and Bert.  We used an old broom handle, half a circle styrofoam and the bristles from the broom.  I painted all of those elements black to make the chimney sweep. For the sketch, I flipped the sketch around and put the top element on the bottom.  I was excited because I could show off a big title on my layout with the famous song that Bert sings from the Mary Poppins movie.  Thanks for popping by!
