But probably not the prom you're thinking of! Every year one of my professional organizations hosts a conference...and just about every other year we get to dress up for the banquet (spoiler alert, this year has a '90s theme!) Last year at just about 2 1/2 months post partum we had KK (my mother) come up and watch A so we could dress up and go have some fun! And now I'm finally getting around to preserving that memory! 🥰
Here is the full LO:
Since I'm still getting back into the groove of crafting on a regular basis, my kits are all over the place but I am still 100% sure this is a Tres Jolie Kit Club kit. I love how their kits have chipboard in almost every single kit. One of my 2026 goals is to do more with chipboard. As I'm getting caught up on A's baby book I'm finding myself using lots of chipboard, so if anyone has any ideas or techniques, HMU because I'd love to try them! :)
This time around I used gesso, some pink metallic paint, a little bit of embossing powder and some metallic flakes on the chipboard! For the base, I started with a stencil and some pink paste to build a textured background on the paper and layered the chipboard over that. I cut some phrases from papers in the kit and distressed and inked the edges. I really didn't feel like the background screamed "Prom Party" enough so I used a few Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays to add some color splatters.
For the finishing touches, I added a few elements, some flowers and a bit of glass glitter and more metallic flakes
As you can see from the phrase above, "It's a beautiful day" and it truly was then and is today! Thanks for checking out my page today!
xoxo,
