My 1st Challenge @ MWL

Hi everyone!!!
So excited about my first challenge for MWL - please do check it out if you haven't already. Hope everyone would be joining in on the fun! Please check back - as I will be posting a peak of the rak that will be given away.

On to the fun part... the challenge is PATCH WORK!!! So, get out those needles and get ready for some stitching. For this challenge...

1. you will need to include at least 9 squares on your layout - these can be in any size or a mixture of sizes (perfect opportunity to use those scraps)
2. there also needs to be some stitching (and more than just XXX)... somewhere, anywhere on the layout.
3. get those ribbons out, cause somewhere on your layout you will need to include some

Most importantly, don't forget to upload your layout to the gallery before June 30th. Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with. And here's my take of the challenge...

Supplies used include:

pattern paper: crate paper mia collection, jillibean soup xxx and hambly prints

embellishments: crate mia collection rub-ons, prima flowers, jillibean felt flowers, robin nest dew drops, maya road ribbon & chipboard alphas, october afternoon rub-ons, sizzix frame die cut, american craft white embossing powder, magic mesh brown and bazzill stitching threads

Just realized that i was sooo excited about the challenge that i forgot to write the story behind the picture used. The cute boy is Merijn - Ruben's nephew. He's soo soo adorable!!! and especially in this picture that was taken at our engagement lunch in Oostende and also what ever he's eating looks so so yummy!
