So Awesome

 Oh man, I love this little face! This is my adorable son, William. How cute is he? He's ten-years-old, but he still loves to spend time with me cuddling and talking. I adore him so much! I took this picture of him a few months ago. I love the little freckles that you can see across the bridge of his nose. Too cute!

I created this layout for a challenge from The Studio Challenges. I loved the simple sketch that allowed me some freedom, yet gave some great guidelines. 

I used Echo Parks Jack and Jill Boy collection for this layout. I love the oranges and blues together. I used what looks like several layers of paper, but really only used two full layers, and then used little pieces of paper around the edges. I inked all the edges with Quick Quotes chalk ink in Orange Slice. I used a white Uniball pen to outline some of the layers, and a Zig Writer in navy for some others. Lots of little details in this simple layout. I used a set of Thickers with blue glitter. Fun!

I used Heidi Swapp Color Shine in both navy and peach for this page. I took the cap off and just tapped it to disperse the ink o the page. I used different circle embellishments from the Jack and Jill line to add fun elements to the page. I love how simple this page is. It allows my son's adorable face to be the star of the page. Perfect!

Thank you for looking at my layout. Please leave me some blog love and let me know your thoughts. I would love to have you become a member of my blog while you're here. I always love having more guests visit. Thanks!

Good evening everyone. Tonight I'm showing off a layout I worked in this weekend. It's a LO about my son and his Auntie, one of my best friends, when they took a Selfie after seeing a movie together. I love this picture. They just look like they are so cool.

This picture has been hanging around waiting to be scrapped for a a year (I didn't add the date to my  LO until after I took the picture - July 2013). Because I used an older photo and a Noel Mignon it that has been hanging around since June, I decided to enter this LO in The Studio Challenges clear up challenge.

I used a sketch from Stuck?! Sketches that was designed by one of my favorite sketch designers, Laura Whitaker. I took the sketch and flipped it (I admit, I have issues with banner points pointing up). I had lots of fun playing with all the layers. I used an older Noel Mignon kit that I hadn't worked my way through yet. I love the colors!

Those green 3-D glasses were perfect! My son loved them.

I used Heidi Swapp's Color Shine in teal to color the Doilie. It made it much more interesting than plain white.

I love this little group of fun embellishments. You will also notice a little Heidi a Swapp glitter frame tucked under the picture. I'm using this LO for challenge #87 from Red Carpet Studio . The challenge was to use something glittery. Not only did I use the glitter frame, but the title is made from green, glitter Thickers.

You can't get much more glittery than that, right? I used a yellow acetate # sign and dabbed a bit of teal ink on it to calm the color a bit. I love how it blended so well with the green letters.

Thank you for taking a look at my layout. If you like my work, please take a moment to follow my blog. Thank you!
