CMD Week 2 Monday - Recipe Challenge............

So, it's week 2 of the CMD 'Be Happy' online crop & this weeks challenges are Recipes! Mondays challenge was set by Kristii to include 1. a PP Background 2. Ribbon 3. Hand stitching 4. a Button & 5. More than one Alpha. I managed to tick all of the boxes & here is my Layout:
These were photo's taken on a day in Autumn last year, when the sun was shining but the sky in the distance was slate grey & I just knew it would rain before long. Nathan, being stubborn, refused to wear a jacket as he went out on his bike to play! Sure enough, within the hour, we had a torrential downpour & he came in looking like a drowned rat!! Who says Mum isn't always right?!!!

I used 'masking' on this LO, a new technique for me, so I kept it low key, but I may try something more adventurous next time!! It was also another opportunity to use bits & bobs that have been in my stash for a while!!
