Challenge #2 - Scrapbeach

Here's Challenge #2 for The Beach's online crop. I made this for my uncle. The picture is of my (late) dad and my uncle. The layout is going in a shadow box. I'm going to send it to my uncle for my dad's birthday in a couple of weeks. He would've been 63. :( .. .. (actually, i'm going to make another one like this for my other other uncle and send it to me as well).

The second challenge is to make a layout without any fancy pre-made embellishments. You can use cardstock, patterned paper, stamps, ink, paint and all those sorts of goodies, but set aside the Primas!

Here's my submission for this challenge.
The two larger lollipop flowers are not made by me. (Gold flower i bought from Sandra from her etsy. The turquoise flower is made by Irene C. We were in a swap on the beach that Lyla hosted) The paper flower i made for Lyla's swap.
The hat pins i made. :)
TH: Ornate plates, Grungeboard Alpha "M"
Burlap (rec'd from Sandra in a swap we did in Jan '10)
Prima Canvas -used a background stamp and used GM (i can't remember what color)
Background paper is G45 Le Romantique
I loved this challenge and I've been wanting to do this layout/shadowbox for quite some time. I *KNOW* I wouldn't have done it if i were doing it on my own. It would've been too difficult for me to do.

For this challenge i needed to make a tag for any project i'm working working on. So i made this tag for a 6x6 mini book i'm working on.
