Challenge|SG Emphasis on Embellishments

One of my favorite challenges at ScrapGirls is Emphasis on Embellishments. Angela (angelaNussbaum) & Janine (J9Buckles) come up with a list of embellishments for you to use on your layout. If you struggle with creating clusters or adding more than a few embs to your layouts, then this is the perfect challenge. In fact, I believe the challenge started because Angela was struggling with the very same thing. Anyway, today my mojo was in overdrive because I've decided I want to start experimenting with "minimalism" but that's a story for another time.

The challenge:
Create a layout using a color scheme that includes mostly pink [I had the perfect photo in mind from Halloween; Jenelle's costume was fuschia/hot pink]
One large photo [tried working with a large photo but my brain is in minimalist mode; decided to go small & created an out of bounds effect]
One frame [pink + white frame]
Two ribbons [one straight ribbon anchoring my cluster, one ribbon with a bow wrapping the frame]
Two alphas [I used one for the title and then I used the letter "J" from another kit as an emb]
Seven flowers [Counted them, I got 7]
Two tags/tabs/charms [100 % girl sticker, Sweet Little Girl button]
Some stitching - as much as you like [got it]
One ScrapSimple Paper [The subtle pink pattern is a paper template]
Some beads or lace [beads, no lace]
One heart [made it into a little corrugated cardboard emb using a style]
One pin [stuck into the bow]

The results:
