BOOK OF ME CHALLENGE #1

Hi everyone.  I decided that I wanted to do a book of me challenge for the year.   I am always snapping photos of the husband and kids and doing pages with them.  Never about myself. So I decided that this year I will do a book of me and I hope you can join in.   The first challenge is easy and hard at the same time.
Just make a cover page... that part was some what easy.  Now for the challenge include a RECENT photo of yourself.
Here is mine... I took it this summer on our move from TX to NV.   This was one of the only photos I could find with me in it.  After I had it developed I noticed my son in the background laughing away it was just to cute.  So please enjoy.

I used DCWV  BLACK CURRANT. (I am going to try and use this through out the year.)
For my name I used   the HAPPY HAUNTINGS  cart spooky font. ( I wanted to put my last name in here to but my mat is giving me a big problem... no stickyness what so ever ... next payday as I always say)
For the corners I used the HOME ACCENTS cart.
Across the top is a little bling I picked up in the notions section at Joann's.

I would love to see what you think and what u come up with.  Please leave a comment with a link to your blog so we can check u out.

Have a great day,
~T~
