Lasting Memories #60 "Dimension" and winner announced

Good morning and welcome to another Lasting Memories layout challenge.  I created this layout for my challenge submission over at PaperSecrets, but it also fit perfectly for this week's "dimension" challenge.  I am not a "flat" scrapbooker, as I always have something sticking up or popped up.  I LOVE dimension and I am learning how to add it to digital, but this week I went traditional.  As you know, each week we are given an assignment at PaperSecrets for a layout. I really don't care if I win the contest, it's just helping me to do more layouts that I should have done a long time ago. If you participate and follow the guidelines you advance to the next week. We started with 27 and 10 moved on again last week, these ladies are serious about their scrapping.  I can't believe I am still in the running...again, it's not about winning, it's about scrapping and I am so proud of myself.  I will keep updating you as I go along.  I almost didn't make it this week with getting ready for my new job and I also started the week off not feeling well.  Who knows, I might not be able to participate one week and then I am out, but until then, I am scrapping my butt off, (they used a different word, but my blog is family friendly...hehehe. 
Here is the sketch I had to follow from Papersecrets:

and here is my layout:

Now again, I need dimension in all my layouts:

and my favorite dimension is embossing.

I think embossing on paper is one of the

best techniques there are.  It adds so very

much to a simple piece of paper as you

can see here for the background of the photo.

Since my mom made all the flowers for the

wedding I had a few leftover and used them

on the layout by popping them up off the page.

and the sheer ribbon I added but did not adhere it 

completely flat.  I gave it a bit of a ruffle.

Now this is what we needed to use for the challenge and what's in red is what I used:

stamped image
embossing folder (background of the photo)
flowers/leaves ( flowers and leaves from the wedding)
bling (rhinestones and pearls)
fabric/felt
rubons
chipboard
hand or machine stitching
transparency (LOVE from my stash)
ribbon/lace (borders)

I am very pleased with this layout and hope I've given you some ideas to use for dimension.  So head on over to Lasting Memories and create a layout using as much or as little dimension to create a beautiful layout.

Now last week I had another MyMemories contest going and the winner of the digital scrapbook software is:
