I hope that I will find time to do this challenge. I haven't gotten to do any challenges in a while because my life got crazy all of a sudden!! :)

[O2BNGdHope]

I know what mine's going to be about! I STILL want to be one of these...........I think I'm outta luck on this one, though.

[sacannon]

I have an idea for this one, but will have to work on it a bit.

[crops2dawn]

[grannywin]

No dead bodies, Vanessa!

[sacannon]

No dead bodies, Vanessa!

LOL love it. Wish I had thought of that!

[grannywin]

Can't believe I am the first one to post a layout. Everyone get your thinking caps on. I must add a followup to what I wrote in the gallery. My marching group let the leader wear a sparkly silver uniform. I always dreamed of wearing that uniform. When I was finally good enough to lead, we had three people of equal ability, so we never had a designated leader. I NEVER got to wear the silver uniform and my cousin, ten years my junior, wore one almost as soon as she joined. The credits for the layout are listed in the gallery.

[Vanessa]

My word you are quick off the mark Grannywin. Love the layout.

[makeyesup]

Don't know if I can do this one. All I ever wanted to was grow up. Not too sure that I got there yet.

[angelwithin]

This was my dream as a child to be an Airline Hostess - i was one of the few kids in school who would wear the full uniform including the blazer & beret without an arguement lol

Beautiful layouts, Grannywin and Fiona.
I'm still thinking, at the moment I cann't think of anything.....haha.

[Vanessa]

Lovely Fiona, very creative and imaginative

[sacannon]

Oh these are so good. Grannywin, go for it...get out that batton (sp) LOL. Fiona, you can still be the Hostoss with the mostess! Great layouts!

[sacannon]

Ok, here is mine. I had always wanted to be an artist. I even sent in sketches to those ads you use to see to draw the cartoon characters. My favorite thing was to sketch, but I took 3 years of art in high school, which included painting. I was thinking about going to the Art college in Cleveland where I could stay with my Aunt and Uncle. If I did that I would have been spending my Senior year of high school in the college because they allowed you to start your Senior year. But my common sense took over and I figured I wouldn't be able to make a living wage doing paintings. I ended up working for the City instead. My skills at painting went down hill since I haven't picked up a brush in years. Once in a while I try to sketch...I think I would need a lot of practice to get good at it.

This picture of me was actually taken last year when my sister and I were painting my mom's porch (wrong type of brush) LOL. The picture on the paper/easel was when I was young maybe about 10 yrs. I embossed the picture first, then used a poster edge and angled strokes on it. I skewed it to fit the paper on the easel then used an edge shape after bringing it into SBM.

The paper is from Fiona's "Leaf Fall" kit and I used a shape from her "Velvet Dreams" kit on the top paper in the background.

I love the LO so far! I am going to have to get out my scrapbook that my Mom put together for me to create my page-how fun!:rolleyes:

[Vanessa]

Lovely layout Sue, I like the background papers you have used, and don't you look different with lots of hair.

[O2BNGdHope]

Grannywin, what a great layout! It shows how deeply you really wanted to be in that uniform! Makes me want to cry that you didn't get to wear it!

Fiona, love your uniform! What a wonderful page! Love all the elements you brought together for this. It's just perfect!

Sue, Wow! Great job on the photo editing. It really does look like a painting. AND it really looks like you're sitting there painting it!! Wow, again!

[O2BNGdHope]

Ok, here's my wish. I missed my chance to be one but I love to watch the movies like Indiana Jones and National Treasure.

[sacannon]

Wow, Love how you have the faded images superimposed and what a great wish. It would be exciting, but I would want to leave out a little bit of the action that Indie had...LOL

[nanwu]

I had many dreams of what I wanted to be (they changed weekly LOL) but here is one of them which I had when I was going through a rare girly stage (I was a tom boy LOL). I wanted to be a famous ballroom dancer and dance like Liza Doolittle in My Fair Lady!!!!

Credits: background paper (attic treasures - music freebie),,Word art (drehi-wordart freebie)

[sacannon]

I love this, fantastic Nanwu!

[grannywin]

For all you dreamers who haven't found your niche yet, you can still do it. I STARTED college at age 50 and changed careers. It's not too late, Mel.

[Vanessa]

Mel, this is terrific. What a fabulous idea to just use your head as though everything else was what you were thinking.

Nanwu - lovely - I too used to like the old musicals - my favourite was Gigi

[O2BNGdHope]

Wow, Love how you have the faded images superimposed and what a great wish. It would be exciting, but I would want to leave out a little bit of the action that Indie had...LOL

I wanted to have adventure like Indiana Jones but have the body of Lara Croft! LOL!

[sacannon]

Too funny! I wouldn't mind that either !

[twpclerk]

Here's my layout. Had fun with this remembering what all in my life I wouldn't have right now if I had gone into the medical field. God sure is always watching over us!!


Papers and frame are from pamleforsdesigns.com oddsnends, Medical supplies from Marion, Words are from Autisticwonder's March 08 Shapes Gift Bundle and the overlayfloralblack is from here, not sure whose though.

sorry if i've not been around commenting much ...the flu has got me in its nasty grip and zapped every ounce of energy out of me - but the drugs are now fighting back ;)

[sacannon]

TWPClerk, that must be your Senior Pic,It reminds me of mind (close to the same time period)! Love how the swirly goes through the frame. Fun to see what everyone wanted to be!

[twpclerk]

Yes it is, Good Ole 1972!!!

[sacannon]

Yes it is, Good Ole 1972!!!

You've got me by 3 yrs! I graduated in 75. The the style of picture is the same. I also had long and darker hair. Later on they went to color pics and you also had a choice of scenic backgrounds.


I wonder how many people actually ended up doing what they dreamed about when they were young!

[eye]

Never had anytime to do this one as I was so busy with layouts on prom.So I will tell you all.I wanted to be an airline Stewardess but I fell on my face when I was 12 and broke my 2 front teeth and had to have false ones.That is why they would not take me.Next I was accepted into art school but decided to apply for nursing(only because my boyfriend at the time was where the nursing schools were).Needless to sayI had no idea of wanting to be a nurse.Fate I guess.He broke off with me the first year and I continued on with it and:eek: look where it lead me-----Retiremnet.:DSo that is my life and I am stickin to it:)


Everyone is doing some very interesting stuff xo
