DigiDare #284

Since I woke up very early, I attempted the DigiDare Challenge #284 this morning. I've seen a lot about the DigiDares, but never tried to enter. So today is the day!

Although my page is simple, there were quite a few requirements to incorporate:

Dare Flair:
*Use the quote “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” in your layout somewhere.
*Use a neutral background- solid or patterned, but a neutral color (black, brown, white or shade in between).
*Use at least five non-neutral colors in your accent papers, elements & alphas.
*Use metal somewhere on the layout.
*Journaling is a must.
*Use at least two fonts throughout your layout.

Whew! In any case, I finally got around to scrapping the photos from a Gymboree class, and the quote was perfect for these photos. Loved doing this challenge and can't wait to try another one!

Now, for the credits...there are quite a few...
