Happy girls...CR84FN70

Hi there! Hope you are enjoying your weekend! It's time for an all new CR84FN Color Challenge. First I would to thank Lisa Snowdy, our January Guest Designer, for sharing her creativity with us and thanks to all the crafters who joined along with us for CR8FN69!

***NOTE*** We will be going on Spring Break after CR84FN70 and returning on MARCH 24th with CR84FN71***

For nearly the next two weeks, we will be playing with the pretty color combination shown below. Photos courtesy of kategrewal.com.
For my sample, I made this rather clean and simple layout featuring photos of Meredith when she was about 3 years old (12 years ago). I stamped one of the beautiful sentiments from MFT Clearly Sentimental about Audrey Hepburn on a die cut strip made using a Die-namics Fishtail Flags Layers STAX die. The textured patterned background was made use texture paste along with The Crafter's Workshop 6" x 6" Mini Chevron template. Once the paste was dry, I sprayed with yellow mist.
Shown below is a die cut butterfly made using Die-namics Inspired By Butterflies die that I added a bit of color and a rolled rose made using a die from Die-namics MINI Rolled Roses
For sketch inspiration, I joined along with Skissedilla sketch challenge:
Thank you for looking! For some beautiful inspiration from Lisa and several members from the CR84FN DT, please see the CR84FN blog.
Be Sweet ;)

    Mona - this is fabulous. It has a bit more of a clean, simple layout with your lovely embellishments. The chevron texture is great and I adore the butterfly. But the best bit are the beautiful photos of your little girl - they do grow so fast!! Great work. x

    Yes definitely one of my fave color schemes. I don't think it's clean and simple at all; The mix and match of these colors with neutrals ( love that cream color) is perfect. Love the photos too; as always you did a fab job!
