Hugs

My Scrapbook Nook are running a five week crop with challenges every weekend, based on a "Top Ten" theme. The first challenge, set by Lilith Eeckles, was like a recipe. She gave us a list of 'ingredients' and 10 steps to create a layout. Full details on her post. There were many more embellishments than I normally use - ribbons and flowers and chipboard and banners - plus limits on the photo size and the positions and dimensions  of the patterned paper. After a great deal of paper shuffling, I finally stuck mine down this evening:

Supplies
Card - DCWV Far East Stack
Paper - First Edition Paper Spring Feast Pad, K & Co Madeline Wild Roses, Dovecraft Sugar & Spice Pack
Letters - American Crafts Thickers
Journalling Tag - KaiserCraft
Word Sticker - Pebbles Masking Tape Stickers
Chipboard Swirl - Papermania
Ink Pad (for inking naked chipboard) - All Night Media
Gems - Papermania Dew Drops, Dovecraft Pearls
Ribbon - from Stash
