Her first prompt was to use a variety of patterns in shades of one colour.......I have lots of pink papers.....I don't know why.......I'm not really a pink person.......but Little A is.....she rarely wears any other colour......and I had the perfect photos waiting to be scrapped.
Out came various patterned papers......I chose one for the the background......and matted the photos on a shocking pink spotty one......and put them on the background......it looked like this.
I started sorting through the patterned papers.......which ones should I use......I glanced back at the page......and I realised that actually.......I liked it as it was and didn't want any more papers......only words and embellishments!!!!!!
So I think I may have fallen at the first hurdle.....with no inroads made into the patterned paper pile at all.......except I did use some patterned scraps to make the flowers!!!!!!

lol, you've not failed it looks lovely.
But it's a really pretty page - any more and that face wouldn't shine so nicely from the page (though that hardly seems possible - you know what I mean!)
I think I'm with you - that paper was just fab for your layout and didn't need further embellishing beyond your words, journaling and flowers - FABBYLICIOUS

lol! But you still got a layout scrapped, and a beautiful one at that :)
Things don't always work out as planned. At least you got those adorable photos scrapped and used up some scraps. I'd still give you an A.
I just saw this beautiful layout on the Scrapbook Remix forum & had to laugh at your "failure". Hang in there - we still have lots of prompts to go & you just might make some inroads into that patterned paper yet.
Nope,don't think you fell at the first hurdle,it got you a gorgeous page AND you used at least one bit of paper you maybe wouldn't have !Lovely x
A beautiful page and so your style - why change if it pleases you?
Hi Jacky,

Happy crafting

This turned out so pretty! You did an awesome job! Such cute photos!
It is indeed perfect as it is :). The colours and patterns are perfect. (And I understand a little about the falling at the first hurdle!).
I think that page is gorgeous! How can it be a failure? If the class gets us scrapping and creating beautiful LO's like this it can only be a success!
I'm doing this class too, but haven't had time to do any scrapping! At least you managed to use some paper out of your stash and it is a lovely layout! Just catching up on my blog reading and workign back through your posts - off I go!
I just love this page, Jacky! The four photos that give you a closer and closer view of this adorable little girl are just perfect. I'll be trying to remember to try to get some photos like this while Caleb is here.
I don't class it as a fail at all...it's a lovely LO!

Not a failure at all, you have a beautiful page for your album!
