Frosted Designs Scrapbook Bingo

Yes, another challenge for me to do this weekend! I love the Frosted Designs blog and one of their challenges was Scrapbook Bingo with Diana. I thought I would play along using the following combination:
Tags
Buttons
One Photo
Three Patterned Papers

Here is what I came up with.


I used Storybook Creator Software with the Serene, Cheerful and Rugged Digital Kits.

Thanks for the challenge Diana, it was fun!
