I used my August kit to create this layout of my sister on her prom night 10 years ago..

My sister Jessica has been a tomboy since day one. As a kid, she always played in the dirt, climbed trees, collected bugs, hair always in a ponytail, played basketball. On her senior prom night, she showed up at my house with the most gorgeous and elegant dress, hair swept up and it was the first time I ever saw her wearing makeup. She looked stunning! I cried, of course lol.

I think her wedding day was the only other time I saw her wear a dress again. Now at 28 yrs old, she still wears that ponytail everyday and no makeup. It's definitely a rare sight to see her all prettied up. But that's okay, I have pictures to prove she can be elegant and gorgeous, too :)

I used this month's Artful Delight sketch for my layout. It's a great sketch, very versatile! Join this month's sketch challenge and you can be the winner of the Artful Delight September kit! See here for details and to link up! :)

Thanks for visiting!
