Natural challenge

Happy Monday!

Late posting for me today. 

Time is flying by for me, as I am sure it is for you all.

So much work, not enough time for anything anymore it seems. 

And what as taken the back burner for me?? 

Scrapbooking.

I ave been trying to complete a layout a week (my goal for this year)

and Boy! is it giving me a run to do it...lol

There are too many awesome challenges out there.

BUT!

I did manage to do one this past weekend.

I received a beautiful set of papers, 

and I just knew what pictures to use with them.

Then I used this awesome sketch over on the DCWV blog:

Here is my take:

I enjoyed doing this layout. 

It was therapeutic for me, especially after a long week. ;)

All the papers are from this gorgeous stack:

The letters are MME, as is the clear cut 'Beautiful'.

The wood hearts are from Studio Calico, the bling on the butterfly, 

(cut from my Slice machine) is from Teresa Collins.

That heart in the corner is also from DCWV, Vintage Collector

--an awesome score from Michael's...all the embellies on liquidation!!

 but alas, no papers...again. sigh!~
I used my small flower punch to make those little flowers,
 and added a touch glitter glue to the centre.

I am also linking this up to:
Crafty Steals Third Thursday Stash challenge--flowers

So, that's it for me for now.

Thanks for stopping by.

Be safe. Get crafty.
