Grandma and Me

I have been staring at a layout by Dana to scraplift for the XOXOGirls Challenge #8 which is being sponsored by Snobby Walrus but couldn't figure out what I wanted to do. Then the Dolls over at the Design Dollies Blog set up the Color Challenge for Kraft and Bright Colors and my mojo kicked in! I decided I was gonna also incorporate their Elements Challenge which was a recipe for your layout.

***PLEASE NOTE: in my bright color frenzy I totally painted over my Kraft color so...hum maybe it will still qualify?

So Here is Dana's Layout that I scraplifted cause I am a rebel like that!

My Recipe was:

1) 3 Different Patterned papers, SAME manufacturer if possible (Sassafras)
2) A tag (my hidden journaling on top)
3) An UNCOLORED stamped image (I have two the crown and family)
4) RED ribbon(s) (wasn't sure if my trim counted so I added red ribbon on  my tag)
5) Something lime green (background paper)

"Grandma and Me"

Hidden journaling "July 2006 mommy and me went to California to visit, this is the very first time I got to meet my Grandma Marda"

This is My Step Mom Marda holding Noah when he was 7 months old, this was the very first day we got there and the very first time she had ever met her 1st Grandson!

All the red {was} brown but I kept thinking it looks so dull so I painted it forgetting it was supposed to be brown :/
