For the Monday Challenge over at the Apron Strings Blog, to use an outfit as inspiration.  I used this little outfit that I recently bought for little granddaughter Lucy. I was inspired by the teal and pink colors along with the flowers. There's some ruffly layers that I was inspired by and used lots of layers on my page. Also, had to include some machine stitching since of course there's lots of stitching in the little outfit!

Thanks for the challenge, Lori!
