I SO love this layout I created for several challenges!! OMGosh love it! 1st the layout is for Gina from MYSCRAPROOM challenge #3 , we were to follow the following sketch: with the colors of black, pink and white, flowers and bling.  The cricut cuts (swirls and doiley) are from Lovely Floral. I also, used this scrap lay out for MPS Challenge # 7 which was to create a layout. Then I used this layout for Life on the Scrap beach challenge which was to use two  4x6 photos. Then since I extremely love this layout of my FAMILY..I wanted to use this as part of  KAndrew’s Design Team project from Getting Cricky . I just love her and her blog she is such an inspiration craftwise and spiritually.  Hope you love this layout as much as I do!
