little memories

I stepped out of my comfort zone a bit and played along with the March Quotable from Paper Issues. 

While I elected not to use the quote, I did play on the theme of being young, or in my case, little. 

I did use the colors in the quote as my inspiration for the background though.

no rest for the rad

Hello! Today I have a layout to share that was created for the March Pinspire Me challenge at Paper Issues.

I struggle with scrapping green and this was a great challenge to get me to dig into green. 

Here is the board:

My layout was mostly inspired by the upper right photo and so I used the awesome Going in Circles free cut file from the PI store as the base for this. I also pulled a few colors from the top left and bottom right corner to take away from some of the green. 

I used the Pink Paislee Oh My Heart collection which can be found here in the PI store.
