Altered ceramic tile

Here's another project for my FSS. I made this altered ceramic tile for her. I love it. I used the graphic 45 fashionista paper line for the background papers and the dress form. I got the DRESSFORM idea from a gal on YouTube. I think I should've adde a couple more die cuts so she could e a lil fuller but this works also. The dress form is a Tim Holt die. The red flower I received from a swap from the Scrapbeach. I also used some of the recollection flower and some flat back pearls. Also the background stamp is a stampers anonymous stamp. (I think)

The flourish is chipboard die cut from TH Alterations die (glimmer misted it w/Scarlet)
Burlap and Prima Canvas for mats in the background
TH items: "B" Alpha grungeboard and ornate bookplate, "hope" Adage ticket, Memo pin
Tattered Angels: Glimmer Chips, Creme de' Cocoa

Challenge #2 - Scrapbeach

Here's Challenge #2 for The Beach's online crop. I made this for my uncle. The picture is of my (late) dad and my uncle. The layout is going in a shadow box. I'm going to send it to my uncle for my dad's birthday in a couple of weeks. He would've been 63. :( .. .. (actually, i'm going to make another one like this for my other other uncle and send it to me as well).

The second challenge is to make a layout without any fancy pre-made embellishments. You can use cardstock, patterned paper, stamps, ink, paint and all those sorts of goodies, but set aside the Primas!

Here's my submission for this challenge.
The two larger lollipop flowers are not made by me. (Gold flower i bought from Sandra from her etsy. The turquoise flower is made by Irene C. We were in a swap on the beach that Lyla hosted) The paper flower i made for Lyla's swap.
The hat pins i made. :)
TH: Ornate plates, Grungeboard Alpha "M"
Burlap (rec'd from Sandra in a swap we did in Jan '10)
Prima Canvas -used a background stamp and used GM (i can't remember what color)
Background paper is G45 Le Romantique
I loved this challenge and I've been wanting to do this layout/shadowbox for quite some time. I *KNOW* I wouldn't have done it if i were doing it on my own. It would've been too difficult for me to do.
