Flowers are from stash.. think i got them from nikki's shop (bunny zoe) not to sure.... buttons are out of stash... i used my romance board to do the heart in the middle of the layout... i have used my promarkers to colour the image in... i have used about 4 different shades of reds to do the colouring... and brown for the hair.. just learnin how to colour with my promarkers ...

i have only had them for about a little while... both the sweet sixteen are off the computer... http://pollycraftchallengeblog.blogspot.com/
