Lady Corinna

This is the second month of the "Basic Grey Page of the Month" class I am taking to get out and socialize... They messed up the dates and I ended up cropping by myself but my buddy Layne was there and that rocked! Horrible pictures- I will redo if I can. I did deviate a bit but mostly followed the instructions - yes me...
