Sometimes, limiting your craft supplies makes it much easier and faster to complete your layout because there are fewer elements to fiddle around with.
For this layout, I challenged myself to use only black or white embellishments [to match the photos taken with my bloggy pal Lynnda when we met in Melbourne]. Once I adhered the photo and the largest element - the swirl, the rest of the elements fell into place quickly and I had this layout done in 20 minutes. :)

I really love the colour scheme you've chosen for this page. The black and white on the aqua looks fantastic. So dramatic and so fresh at the same time. So glad you chose the BITW challenge for your title.
