Happy Saturday, I am hopefully sleeping by the time you visit!
Brooklyn had her prom on Friday night and I have to say I am exhausted--lol!
It seemed like such a long time coming, she has been planning this since she was in grade 9. We made it--the dress, the shoes, the mani/pedi, the makeup, the hair, oh my. To see how happy and excited she was getting into that limo made it all worthwhile for me. When she came home to change for the after prom party she couldn't believe it was over. She didn't want to take her dress off but since the after party was at her girlfriends grandparents barn, I advised against leaving it on, hee hee hee.
Lots of photos, I just loved seeing these kids all dressed up like adults. Most of them I have known for years--they have gone through school together...if you make it through to the bottom I have a card to share that I made from a kit that Emily Leiphart made for the Toronto girls when they visited me here in March. You see as exhausted as I am I am wide awake--bound to crash soon.
Here she is ready to head outside--so windy...
and one more of my girl, because I can!
Thanks for sticking with me, now here is my card for today that is for the Paper Smooches May 2015 Designer Drafts
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

One of a kind updo...
Her date was a really good friend, a really nice boy and they looked great together and he bought her the most beautiful wrist corsage.
Waiting to get into the limo...
the guys must have been excited to see what was inside the limo because that is where they are...
The venue was down by the lake (Lake Ontario that is). It was so cold there, a difference in temperature from our house of 12 degrees C. We only live about 5 km away. They're young and do not notice!
The next few pictures are with friends since elementary school...

Such great prom pics — Brooklyn looks like a Grecian goddess! I also happen to love your take on the PS sketch. The frame is wood veneer? Nice!
Brooklyn looks absolutely stunning! Love the dress and her amazing hairdo. She looks so happy. What a special memorable day for her, and for you! Love your fabulous card too!
Tracey, I have tears in my eyes at seeing these photos; your daughter is absolutely gorgeous! Her dress, her hair - so beautiful - but it's that 'light up a room' smile that steals my heart! I can't even imagine how proud you are to be mom to this incredibly special young lady. She's a treasure; you're a treasure. How blessed you are to have one another. I've already 'fast forwarded' to my niece graduating (she's starts kindergarten in September) and wow...emotional! Enjoy every moment with your stunning daughter...every moment (even the ones that cause eye-ball rolling!). Your card is a delight; the sparkly rose is so eye-catching!
Hugs~c

Sorry to be so far behind in commenting. I did pop in to take a look at all your wonderful photos but never left you a comment so I am now back again to get that taken care of. Brooklyn is quite the lovely lady, she is absolutely gorgeous and that dress could not be more perfect for her.
Your card is just as fabulous my sweet friend. Love that beautiful rose all decked out in sparkles. Reminds me of the rose from the movie Beauty and the Beast.
