Being Inspired by History!

Over at Grand Diva's Creative Corner, the challenge is to pick one of the "This Month In History" items.  There are four to choose from.  I selected #3:

 #3 ~ February 22, 1879 ~ F.W. Woolworth opens "The Great Five Cent Store" in Utica, NY.  It failed in six months, but the second store he opened in June of the same year seemed to catch on.

Create a layout and you must use 

5 or more different types of embellishments

and/or

5 or more different patterned papers.

I used five different embellishments on my layout (embroidery thread, pearls, vellum, brad, and banners/flags).  This is what I created:

I hope you can join me on this challenge - links are due February 28th.
