Scrap Friends Challenge

I always have the best of intentions of submitting to online challenges, but never seem to find the time. I seem to have caught up this month so am thrilled to attempt a Scrap Friends challenge. I haven't done one for ages. I've been particularly trying to do a challenge on this site for a while as they have a seriously interesting DT and I love their sketches and colour challenges.

Me being the colour addict that I am, it seemed logical that I should go with the colour palette challenge. Here's this month's palette:

I was attracted to the deep pink and went straight to a gorgeous new Prima paper I had bought. I then ran with that idea but ended up with more green and less pink than originally planned. That's probably not a bad thing as the photo is of my daughter when she was very little and she now hates pink!

Here's my layout:


There's nothing quite as adorable as a sleeping child. The bg paper is Prima as are the gorgeous banners. To make the flower banner, I pulled out the centres from larger Manor House flowers and only used these. I then "tied them up" with satin ribbon.

Here are some close ups.


I inked each of those pieces of banner and attached them with double sides tape. I then very carefully glued the twine along the top. A labour of love I think!


Thanks for looking!

Heather
