Challenge Accepted!

 





Thanks to Paula, I've been lurking the Craft Hoarders Anonymous blog for some time now.  They've got some really fun challenges that have appealed to me, one previous one that I even completed....too late to enter the challenge, but completed just the same!

Here's one that actually got done, and on time to boot! It's the final page of my niece's baby album:



This layout is inspired by prompts from both Challenge 6 (expired before I saw it....sigh) and 7. I used the sketch and the mix of new products (all the paper) and old products (rubons and ribbon), as required for Challenge 6. The ribbon (pink ric rac and teal bottom border) is also needed for Challenge 7, which I'm actually on time for and able to enter!
The title, including the background, was designed in my Cricut Craft Room and embellished using old Basic Grey rubon flowers and a Martha Stewart butterfly punch. Underneath the title, you can see a bit of the texture and design in the teal ribbon used at the bottom of the page.

I added some more coordinating rubons to the journaling card. Beneath that, you can see some of the dainty pink ric rac used at the edge of the brown cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope to have some more layouts from my niece's album posted soon.
