32 by 33 in 5

OK ladies, the moment you've all been waiting for....
What was I going to do for my challenge page which was presented by Miss Nichole? The challenge is to create goals to have accomplished before your next birthday...the inspiration comes from Love Elsie Love Elsie http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/my_weblog/2007/08/challenge.html
This was more of a challenge for me because my b-day is just 5 weeks away. My original thought that I would do a page for my 34th b-day in 2009, but I ultimately decided to not wimp out and come up with goals for pretty much to the month of March.

This LO happened accidentally. I had one thing in mind - I wanted to use a small scalloped strip of the paisley paper, but for some reason my cutter only cut the middle of the paper. So I went with it. I fell in love with this paper many moons ago, but hadn't known what to do with it. It's especially hard for me to use pinks in my LO because I have a little boy and he's my main scrapping subject. I had to have this paper anyway though. I finally found a use for it.
Supplies: Bazzill- (of course), Making Memories Maddi Narr Stripe and Maddi Paisley, Pop Culture "flower child white", flowers, Robins Nest, chalks and of course inks.

When I was attaching the flowers from Pop Culture (on the right most side of the page), they were just plain old white. I wanted a little more color, but didn't want to paint or ink the paper...I wanted subtle. My little guy was sitting next to me "scrapping" and was using my old chalks that I passed to him because I never use them...poor kid had to give me back my chalks for 10 mins so I could color flowers. The result was just what I was hoping for.
