monochromatic challenge

I have been wanting to scrap this picture ever since I took it, and I just wasn't sure what to do with it. This week's challenge at Sweet Peach Crop Shop was to do a monochromatic layout, so I went with the pink. I had been looking for some newsprint paper to make flowers with, and I couldn't find any. I bought a pack of girls paperie embellishments for another layout and when I opened them, the back packaging was pink with printing on it. I punched my flowers out of that, and a color scheme was born! I hope that Sarah will remember her Pappy Clark someday and this will help her.

Sarah's face

The challenge this week over at Sweet Peach Crop Shop was to make a page that looks quilted. I broke out my sewing machine, and though it is hard to tell in this horrible picture (the sun was already way down when I finished the page) there is stitching around every square. It was so funny when I was laying this page out, Sarah looked at the pictures and said, "mommy why am I sad?" Someday.......
