Butterflies: Back to School Layout (Layout #38)

The Pink Elephant's "Back to School" challenge #32 was just the impetus I needed to scrapbook this year's photos of the first day of school. The butterflies on Ansley's shirt and in her tummy (plus an idea from Creating Keepsakes magazine) inspired this creation, as did the layout on p. 77 of the new Close To My Heart Autumn/Winter 2009 Idea Book. That layout and my sketch are based on the Cherish "Simple Contrast" pattern.
