A Compliment from Nikki Sivils Herself!

As you know, I recently did a bunch of layouts for DT Work at Scrapbook Star using Nikki Sivils' Henry's Brilliance line and I decided to send them to her for the heck of it.

I was thrilled to see two of my layouts "Laugh Out Loud" and "Sweet Summer Kiss" posted on her blog with the following comments from Nikki herself...

"And these two beautiful layouts were created by Tara Orr! Tara is not on my DT, but sent me an email with these two layouts and my jaw dropped!! I had to share them with everyone!! Tara is super talented and I love what she did with my papers and products!! Thanks Tara!!"

What a compliment hey?

Graphic 45 Spotlight

I am only slightly gushing here, but you MIGHT want to head on over to Graphic 45 to take a peek at who they have in their spotlight today!!!

My sweet baby taking a rest after all her hard work playing in the backyard - LOL.

Just love the tags, the paper - such wonderfully bright colours!

I used crackle paint on a doilee that I brought home from a restaurant - LOL! Painted some of the leaves as well to match with the colours a little better.

My darling son - too funny. He was playing with the pump for the pool and had this evil little look on his face - had to snap a pic as he is normally such a sweet and funny little guy. Don't know where this look came from!?
