After the Storm Layout from LM #771

Today is challenge reveal day over at Lasting Memories, and I'm a little late to the party with this layout, but glad I was able to whip it up this morning. This month's challenges are all mood boards/color challenges, so I used some of the pretty shades of pink and blue to inspire my layout. I had actually stenciled over on the left side of the layout, but in the course of searching for a journaling spot, I found the butterfly paper and couldn't resist using it instead. Feel free to check out the challenge over at Lasting Memories to see if anything inspires you. We would love to see your layout! Here's mine:

And here's the color palate. Looking at it right next to the layout, I realize there is one shade of pink on my page that is too bright, but I was still inspired by the rest of the colors so it's all good!
