The Rose Family ~ 2009; Layout for my SIL's Birthday; Practical Scrappers White Gel Pen Challenge ~ This layout was chosen as the winner over at The Craft Garden for the month of March!!!!

Happy Friday everyone!!  This week over at Practical Scrappers we are using our white gel pens, if you haven't checked it out, you still have time to play.  The challenge is open until tomorrow evening, so what are you waiting for.  Grab those pens and start doodling!!!  That's what I did on this sweet layout of my great nieces!
My niece sent me this photo collage of her little ones as a Christmas card this year.  And so,  I wanted to make a layout using this photo for my sister-in-law's birthday this next Monday.  I really love the way this turned out.  I think it definately has that girly look to it...  I hope she likes it, too!!
This also qualifies for a few other challenges, which are:
