July Stick it Down

Here's this month's sketch at Stick it Down: 

I used photos from my Beatrix Potter baby shower hosted by my mother in law.  When we found out we were having a girl, we decided to decorate her room in pinks and purples.  We wanted to mix florals with Beatrix Potter bunnies, particularly Flopsy.  

Most of the embellishments on this page were taken from the banners that my mother in law made!  

I had some more photos I wanted to use, so I put them into a pocket page.
