I LOVE the sketch from the May 1st Paper Secrets challenge this month and had some time to play along! I did some manipulating with the sketch, clearly. I used one picture instead of two. I really wanted to use a full 6x4 picture so as to be able to show Mia's red rose. In some respects you could call that "hello" journal spot the second picture with my journaling directly onto the layout as a bonus, added by me to make the sketch work for my needs.
Part of the added challenge was to use the word SHOWER in your layout. So here's what I did;
S - splatter and Stickles, H - hearts, O - opaque element (flowers and charming banner, top left), W - washi, E - expoxy dots, R - ribbon
Love this collection from Pink Paislee! And though the theme of my layout had nothing to do with Pen Pals it certainly had elements that I could work into my layout as support.
I'm not sure if you can read the journaling but the theme of this year's Daddy-Daughter dance was "Dancing with Disney". The couples were encouraged to dress up. Can you guess who Mia was with her yellow dress and red rose? Michael wasn't so keen on being either the Beast or the eventual Prince so a sports coat sufficed for him!
Thanks Paper Secrets for another fantastic challenge! I sure miss playing along as often as I used to!
Gorgeous page and awesome product choices! Thank you for playing along at Paper Secrets!

Mia's hair is so pretty and the yellow is amazing! :) Those little hearts are a perfect touch.
