Southern Girls Challenge - Stripes

Hello, everyone! It's time for a new challenge at Southern Girls Challenge blog. Our challenge to you is to use stripes on your projects.

Our sponsor for this challenge is the fabulous Newton's Nook Designs.

I have created a layout of Ada, looking at the toys, and dreaming of what she wants this year for her birthday and Christmas.

I came across this striped patterned paper a week or so ago when I was organizing some of my older paper. It was made by Sue Dreamer  - does anyone remember that company? - and I know it has to be from 2003 or 2004. I think I may still have some 3D type embellishments from this company somewhere stuck in my closet, too! When I came across this paper I thought it paired well with the new Simple Stories - Dream Big - collection. The colors are quite similar and they do go well together.

Since this paper is so old, I didn't have any embellishments that actually went with it, so I looked through my "Dream Big" embellishments and found a few that worked.

I added my journaling on a tag that slips behind the photos. I thought about writing directly on my layout - it would have been pretty easy to do, but in the end, I decided against it.

Head on over to the Southern Girls Challenge blog to see how the rest of the team used stripes on their projects. I hope you have some time to play along with us. I would love to see what you create!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! I hope you have a great day!
