Pals Paper Arts Challenge

The Pals Paper Arts challenge this week is a sketch challenge. I decided to take the sketch and make it a scrapbook page. I love this picture of my niece and nephew they just did a practice run of their ring bearer and flower girl walk for my sister's wedding. Too bad the practice was better than the real deal. The day of the wedding they both did solo walks.

Check back in a few hours and the retirement list will be up!

Ingredients to make the page:
Paper: Sweet Pea designer series paper, Old Olive
Accessories: Flower Fusion Felt Flowers, Pewter Jumbo Eyelets, Pewter Hodgepodge Hardware, Old Olive Striped Ribbon
Tools: Scallop Trim Border Punch, Eyelet, Timless Type Sizzlets, Big Shot
