Challenge

Day Two of the BLOG, and I am going to attempt at posting a layout. My first attempt at a blog challenge is from Scrapjacked. My lovely friend Stephanie was jacked, and since it is one of my fave layouts of hers, I went with it. Her Painted Ladies layout is beautiful in its design, colors and simplicity. And that balloon stamp!!! I love it. So, here is my take on the layout. These are photos from our first spring living in the Chalet. I tried to keep it simple, which is not in my nature for layouts, so it was a challenge. The photo doesn't do it justice, but the leaves are hand stitched. It took time, but adds some great texture to a simple element. I'm off to finish laundry, watch some Divine Design, stir simmering chili and drink some hot buttered rum. Fantastic.
