Christmas Concert Layout with HQCB Guest Design Opportunity

I'm still working on some Christmas layouts from 2018, and it seemed that there were lots of musical events that year; this one features photos from when my son sang in a Christmas concert at his school.

I was invited to be the guest designer for Heart's Quest Challenge Blog, which offers two options for their challenges. Here are the options for the current challenge:

I chose to use the first option of anything with a heart goes, and used black hearts, a large one and three small puffy ones. I'm going to try to do the other options, too, because it goes well with Christmas layouts, and I also have a Valentine's layout coming up that I might manage to squeeze in as well!

Recipe:
Jingle Joy & Journaling Jots stamp sets
The Holiday Life papers (Simple Stories)
Garden Green & White Daisy
Ruby & Black ink
Black marker
Jingle Joy Thin Cut
Jingle Joy tags
Peeled Paint Distress Spritz (Ranger)
Candy Apple Shimmer Trim
Ruby twine
Beetle Black Hearts puffy shapes (Doodlebug Designs)
