    I just realized why I didn't see that the necklace was the same one you wore - I was looking for a necklace with the black gems on it! Now I see that they are the Black Noir Gems that we got from CC. Little slow here sometimes - sorry! I keep coming back because I really love the way it adds so much to the LO. I will be scraplifting this idea definitely!

  87. Paula-Scrap AddictAugust 9, 2011 at 12:15 PM

    Yvonne, you are sweetly silly! yes, I'm sorry I didn't explain what I did now... I attached the necklace to the page using the MM Noir Gems just in case I ever want to actually wear the necklace again I can remove it from the page. I love that you keep coming back :-)
