This was a fun challenge. When I look at my layout it's clear I used more of the one template than the other. I used the photos from both as well as the geometric lines from Lynn's. I took these photos yesterday as part of a photo shoot with my nieces. They worked perfectly for this challenge.
my problem with templates is I over think them.. this took me about 4 hours to do as I was having a touch time with papers. I scrub all the papers and chose new ones and then it finally worked for me! YAY!!
What a fun challenge!! I never combined two templates together before. I started with the template by Scrapping with Liz and added the paint splatter, thread, brushes, circle, photo corners and the word HAPPY from Lynn Grieveson's template. Thank you, designers, for these great templates!
