Good afternoon, Have you discovered Scrapbook Challenges yet?  If you have followed my blog you will know that I love to get inspiration from the challenges that they post.  This challenge called "Kristine's April Number Challenge" had the following requirements - use 4 photos (check), 4 patterned papers (check), 2 sheets of cardstock (check - I used Kraft and a shiny brown bazzil) and at least 4 different embellishments (check).

I was waiting for a train to Hermansburg and so we took the opportunity to take impromptu photos of each other.
