Like Totally 1983

I would NEVER have copied this photo and printed it, much less scrapped it, if there hadn't been an 80's challenge that I couldn't resist. Hold down the laughter! I had to use this black and white polkadot paper and since this was my favorite item of clothing at the time.... yes, I spent $90 at Macy's to get it and I had a solid black Swatch to go with it! Hey, I was 18, not alot of sense.

Here is a crazy thing - I used ALL Paper Studio papers for this! It was perfect too. LOL! Of course part of the challenge was the sequin bling and the felt so I made this cute dragonfly and butterfly. These were not my fave colors back then, but I did love black. I mostly just wanted to be in my pool or at the lakehouse waterskiing. So this page doesn't really show my style at that time other than the photo but this is very 80s and it was FUN to make. LOL!

What a FUN layout!! And I love your little dragonfly! Wish I had a picture of my very favorite outfit (of course, it was from the 60's; not the 80's, but I still wish I had a picture of it!)
