Just Add Ink Challenge #9 'Be Happy Notebook"

This weeks challenge over at Just Add Ink was a "Layout Challenge" using the above layout.
I have had this little Stampin' Up On Board Art 5x5 Journal ($13.50) for quite a while now and had already covered it in the Bella Bleu (16.95) DPS - but just couldn't get motivated to what to do next - until this week!
The rose/flower is my 1st attempt at this style using the Scallop Circle Punch ($30.95) and Bella Rose DPS. I'm quite happy with it!
