Whimsical Wednesday ~ Happy New Year

Happy Wednesday!  Hope everyone hasn't run out of steam yet after Christmas, because we still have to get through New Year's Eve!  This week at Whimsical Wednesdays, Stephanie gave the design team the option of creating a New Year's project or sharing their favorite projects from 2011.   I'm planning a last minute New Year's Eve party at my house, so I haven't quite finished my New Year's project but hope to post it by Friday.  So let's revisit my favorite 2-page layout from 2011 (since I only did a few layouts, it wasn't hard to choose.  HA!)
I made this one back in March.  I just love the colors and glitter and bright yellows and greens.  I'll add the link to my original post under each picture, just in case you'd like to see some close-ups and get more details.  My granddaughter, Bella, is such a pip!  As you can see, she loves posing for the camera.  These photos were taken at the Vanderbilt Mansion in Hyde Park, NY.  If you live in the area, or ever come to visit, the grounds are just beautiful and make for such gorgeous backdrops for your photos.  They have a magical rose garden...very peaceful.

  13. I LOVED this LO when you posted it back in March. So elegant. The pictures of Bella are gorgeous and you did a great job pairing that by making the LO just as gorgeous. It was fun to see this LO again Margie.
