Hello! I am sharing a layout today inspired by another new-to-me challenge-Kelly's May Mood Board Challenge.

This mood board was right up my alley, and I pulled my inspiration mostly from the bottom right and bottom left photos (go to link above to see board). 

supplies:

pp and stickers: Webster's Pages

enamel dots

twine

floss

mist

wheee!

I have a double page layout to share today inspired by the May "Be Our Guest" sketch challenge at The ScrapRoom. I decided to use both sides since I had several photos. I am also entering this into Rochelle Spears: May This or That challenge, I used flairs.

There is a border of brown cs around the edges.

supplies:

cs: Coredinations and Recollections

pp, stickers. enamel dots, and die cuts: Simple Stories

doilies: etsy

button twine: PaperTrey Ink

It's time for another Make it Monday No. 60 at The Memory Nest. 

I had so much fun creating this layout from the great sketch! I did a lot of fussy cutting- the frame and flowers, but the time was well spent. I decided to try something different with the bottom area and I love how all the bits and pieces look! I think that while it is busy, it is still cohesive and doesn't detract from the photo. I absolutely love the end result and this is one of my favorites this year. 

My mom, Kara, Aubree, and myself- Feb. 2015. It's such a blessing to be able to have a photo like this. I hope we can capture another in the near future. <3 font="">

This is the most I have scrapped in months- my shoulder is feeling better after several weeks of PT and it feels great to be creating again. The challenges have also been excellent motivators.
