  I can't believe I have another layout to share with you today!!  Since I had the day off I just decided to do something that's not for any of the design teams, but just for me... I haven't done that in a looong time...  I had this BoBunny paper out on my counter and really wanted to use it with these sweet photos of Colten taken at daycare...  So I went on over to the BoBunny challenge site to see what was going on over there, and decided to play along with their Layout Challenge Friday.. This is my take on using their sketch...

And finally here is one of the gorgeous Petaloo Flowers I won from Jane over at Scossie Jane!!  Thank you soooo much sweet Jane!!!  I love 'em..  So blue and so beautiful!!!!
