(Kelly) My Creative Sketches challenge

Good evening! Kind of weird doing an evening post, but I just realized we hadn't posted anything today, and that I hadn't shared this one yet, even though I made it a week ago! This one is for the May sketch over at My Creative Sketches. It really is a lovely sketch, you should go check it out!
I also wanted to share that my "Goin' on 2" layout was featured in the Gallery Highlights over at Scrapbook Update, here's the link: http://www.scrapbookupdate.com/2012/05/26/gallery-highlights-5-25-2012/. I thought that was kinda neat. :)
I really struggled with this one, and I think it's because of the papers I chose..the colors are just so, pastel! I really really wanted this Teresa Collins collection (Sweet Afternoon), but once I got it, I was so stumped on how to use these super light, soft colors! I really had a tough time with it, and I'm not in love with the way it turned out...oh, well. I do love the photo, though!!

I love it! the soft colors are great, I have trouble with softer colors too, I have some papers, but then I always tend to reach for the brights...love your flower cluters and the scallops and that photo is sooo sweet!!
