About the challenge, "I was definitely fortunate to be assigned a challenge which focused on the photos! I love black and white photos and have a whole wall dedicated to them in our home!! So this was great fun! The first photo I used was a big family photo with all of us together at Thanksgiving. I always turn these photos into black and whites because my family refuses to coordinate colors and/or patterns. So I just kept the layout simple because there is so much to look at in the photo (yes, there are 13 grandchildren in the picture! And yes, most of them are under five years old!) I did want to make sure the kids know how important it was for ALL of us to get together at holidays--so they will hopefully keep that tradition alive!"

Blooms A Bella Cotton Flowers: Rosa
I chose to do a second layout with the black and white photo challenge because I wanted to prove that I didn't have to do a family photo or a Thanksgiving-themed photo using Bella's Family Tree collection! I think this primarily pink page with the blooms and the title did just the trick! I used the green to make the black and white photo pop. I was a little nervous about the black and white not meshing with the brown, but I think it works! Audrey and I don't get very many opportunities to be alone together with all the boys around, so I wanted to let her know just how special that time is to me!
Nancy - your layouts are fabulous!
