Let's Scrap LOAD Challenge

There is an exciting challenge going on at Let's Scrap this month.  Cathy has challenged us to complete 31 "pages" in January.  (A 2-page layout counts as 2 pages).  Here is my first  page:

 My first layout for 2012 was for Challenge 26 at Let's Scrap.  Jeaunes gave us quite the challenge:

• ONLY One picture;
• 7 different sheets of paper;
• The paper HAS TO BE pattern paper (no cardstock) and from a range that you have NEVER USED BEFORE;
• The layout has to have a title which is already included in the paper, as well as a subtitle (I did mine with a rub-on);
• When it comes to embellishing:
  o Some ribbon;
  o 3 Flowers;
  o 3 Brads
  o One metal embellishment and
  o A button

I found a paper pad that my son Luke gave me for Christmas that was from Colorbok.  I don't think I have used them before.  I was lucky that I was able to find a sheet that I could use as my title.  The hearts and flowers were fussy cut from different patterned papers.  The stitching details were done with gel pens.  I used 2 metal embellishments (pins from Maya Road) and 3 buttons.  Not sure if this was cheating as the challenge doesn't state ONLY one. The photo is one I took in September of Megan and Caleb with their best friend Tim just before he left for Afghanistan with the National Guard. 
Thanks for looking.  I will be back soon with more LOAD pages.
