Paper Secrets Challenge

I really liked the sketch for the challenge on Paper Secrets so I went in search of paper and pictures to do it with!

I found these two adorable pictures of my oldest, Sara on her birthday!  The blue of her hat brought to mind the blue in Cherry- O (retired).  I used the striped paper and cut it into the individual strips so it doesn't even look like it is from the same paper! I added the cute embellishments that coordinated with Cherry-O papers!  For the chipboard element I found a leftover from some chipboard elements that have the Irresistable element to them, meaning that when I inked the chipboard with Tulip parts of it stayed white creating a pattern.

I was incredibly pleased with this layout!  It was fun to create and outside of the box for me!
