If you've never done a recipe challenge before, you're in for a special scrapbooking treat! Sometimes it's really easy to get stuck when you have a scraproom full of beautiful papers and accents. Forcing yourself to use a few specific items on your scrapbook page is a great way to switch your creative gears! For today's challenge, all you need to do is create a scrapbook layout with the following five things:

a large focal photo,

safety pins,

stitching (machine, hand, or faux), 

a border punch,

     and ribbon.

I hope you have tons of fun with this challenge!
