Killing Two Birds with One Stone

I love when I can combine challenges! I saw this awesome PageMaps sketch over at Paper Secrets for their April 1st Challenge...

and I was able to combine it with the April Stash challenge from Scrap Our Stash which is to create a layout with at least (1) polks dot paper & (1) striped paper and to include at least (1) bird, butterfly or bee.

I used photos and a card from Paolina's 1st birthday for the layout, and then I flipped the sketch (see right side) and adapted it into a two-pager. After completing & photographing the layout I made the realization that I had completely forgotten to add the "twist" from the Paper Secrets challenge which was to include ribbon or trim. So it wouldn't be honest to submit it for their challenge...but I'm really loving the sketch and hoping to get another layout done with it before the 14th!
