Scrapbook Boutique have a new photo inspiration challenge. Normally, id take a look at the photo and pick the flowers or frilly bits as a inspirational focal point.

Entered into Scrapbook Boutique Photo Challenge. http://scrapbookboutiquenews.blogspot.com.au/2015/08/welcome-to-our-august-2015-challenge.html?m=1  Thanks for Stopping by! Happy Crafting!  Samantha
