Jackies Challenge #9 at SOS!!

Jackie LOVES to challenge us girls at Sisterhood of Scrap!!


Challenge 9 was no exception! We had to use 3 or more photos.. and for those of you who know me... I usually stick to one per layout.. so this was a challenge for sure!!

My dear niece provides me the chance to bling it up a bit!

Hope you enjoyed!!

 use distressing some how, some where!!

So ... I made this layout, usiing a bit of ink and distressed the edges.
