It's magic

One more page for my 1990's album.



I'm sharing this page at:

* Scrap Challenge YOUrself ~ Dressed to Impress
... with one of my work colleagues at the 1996 Queensland Tourism Awards. It really was a magical night, and the kind of event I might never attend again.

* Simon Says Wednesday ~ Anything Goes
Just a bit of monochromatic fun... grabbed a few bits and pieces from my "blue" scraps bag and started building from there.
