Anyway, ruffles are flourishes are actually a fanfare of ceremonial music for dignitaries. But we think it makes a great challenge theme too - because, let's face it, we all use one or the other of these in our projects as some point don't we?
So challenge #43 is hereby christened
"Ruffles and Flourishes"
(aka Well, Ruffle My Flourishes)
(release the doves)
***************
Jana here: My take on this is more figurative than literal. I am using the ruffles on Melissa's dress and the flourish in her face. Danny and Melissa had a date and boy was it an event.
You can see the journalling if you click on the picture.

The layouts are digital. The template is from Cathy Z. The papers are Miss Kim Designs.For more info (and links), you can visit my blog.

Rosemary here: This is my take on the theme. I've been going through all the old photos I have and saying - thou shalt put these into albums - and when I talk like that to myself I darn well listen! So, I thought about this photo of me with my Mom and then I pictured this ribbon I had and thought - oooh, I have an idea and so with ribbon, thread and a needle - I made a couple of ruffled ribbon embellishments.
I suppose a subheading to this layout's title should be - They aren't ALWAYS up to something. This is one busy layout, I'm going back and forth. Aw heck, it's going to stay as is, I'm just going to be happy with it.
(Jana here: This layout is great. I love these medallions. And that picture is priceless. I really need to get more pictures of my mother. So weird that we both did a layout this week. I haven't done one in ages. But that's how we roll. We are birds of a feather. And sometimes not.)

Figuratively or Literally on ruffles and flourishes...I think I just might qualify. I ripped my paper and sponged it with distress ink that curled and ruffled it and I do have flourishes in the corners that I did not lie flat on this card...so here I am in this challenge. I love coming here as I always get a chuckle!!! This is the most entertaining challenge as I love your sense of humor!!!!
Here is my card!

OHMYGOSH! look at all the Opus Groupies!!! You guys have become world-famous, OLYMPIAN in fact! Can you hear me humming the Gluei anthem? No? What, there isn't one? What am I humming? Well, there should be. I couldn't find any ruffles, but sat and watched the hockey game and made some flourishes. But ruffles were in my heart, so I call this my Fluffles:
