Sto Niño Shrine in Leyte LO: Entry to Inspired Blueprints, Colorful Creations, Paper Secrets & ScrapFIT Challenges

Wanting to enter Inspired Blueprints (IB)'s 1st March 2011 Challenge,  the already developed photo of our family taken at Leyte's Sto. Niño Shrine years ago was the 1st photo i thought of as the subject of my LO.  I tied this LO up with Colorful Creations' Monday Mixer - Mix It Up! Challenge wherein you need to have mixed alphas on your page - whether mixed in font or in color.  I also tied it up with Paper Secrets' March "Use your Supplies" Challenge.  And lastly, I'm tying this up to ScrapFIT's Workout #41: Homemade Flowers. Here is my LO and the IB sketch inspiration:

I made use of the pleated paper tutorial found at Colorful Creations for the embellishments on this page.  Patterned papers used on this layout, were all scraps from previous challenges.  I just so love economizing and making use of scraps.
