Nic layout!!!!

First this is the layout that I entered into SD4U's Camp Rock Contest...see my post below for more info.  Anyhow coolness upon coolness I won first place.  So when I was planning the layout I checked the collage and DT layouts over at Envious (NVS) and drew some awesome inspiration.  So now I am entering it into the monthly contest over at Envious (NVS).  I tried to embrace the same feeling with the shabby feel as the collage. 

I found two doilies at a flea market and cut the roses out of them. I also got an old drape from the market and cut the lace off it. Finally I found a package of doilies that were suppose to be used under a candle to catch the wax. I wet, crumbled and inked the doilies.
I have a funny story about the pic that I just have to share. I sneezed while doing the layout and little drop of water(we all know it was spit but water sounds nicer) landed on the nose of photo turning the spot pink. I tried to wipe it and it made a bigger pink spot. Suddenly I thought a tinted pink picture would be cool. The ink didnt seem to smear when I rubbed it so I thought I bet I could do this to the whole thing. I didnt use water from the sink because I didnt know if it would change it another color so what did I do.... I LICKED the whole photo. I thought okay now I have lost it!
