Lexi's Creations #23- Picture Perfect

Hello Everyone! It's time again for another challenge over at Lexi's and this week we want to see you use a picture in your creation. This weeks sponsor is Letraset and the winner will receive a set of Promarkers. On to my Picture Perfect project then...

I decided this time around to get some much needed Scrapbooking done, so here is darling son #2 at the age of 3 checking out a fallen leaf. We were out taking annual pics...I find it's best to let them do their thing and talk and snap, then I usually get some good pics...anyway, I just love the expressions on his face and had to keep these!

I had to use the camera phone again, so the pics are kind of shotty, but here's a little closer view and my hidden message tag. My handwriting is really just not fabulous these days, so I like to find ways to leave messages where my writing won't distract from the page, lol. I should also note that I followed a sketch over at Practical scrappers

Here is a close-up of Lexi's wonderful sentiment...think I'll be be using this one a lot with three boys running around my house! Ok, well, that's it for me, be sure to stop by Lexi's and see what they have some up with...some fabulous creations this week so you won't want to miss out. Hope you've enjoyed my project, thanks for stopping by!

Have a fabulous day!

Here is the layout I did for the Bobunny sketch challenge shown above.

Most of the paper I used for this challenge was from the love bandit line.
The flower, butterflies, title and journaling card
are all sprayed with a glimmer ( Ranger-perfect pearls and water) that I made.

I loved this sketch because it didn't require a lot of emblishments. I guess I'm what you might call a "clean" scrapper. I prefer things simple and pretty and for the photos to be the center of attention. This challenge was perfect for me and I really enjoyed making my daughter's first pages.

Here are some close-ups. You can actually see some of the sparkle and the inking around the edges of the flower. Also, I made the matching brad for the flower with my i-top.

So, here it is, my first sketch challenge.
This layout is from the Imaginisce challenge.
The paper is from the Imaginisce Baby Powder collection. I think it turned out pretty good for my first challenge. This was fun! I did a some new things and I got a page done in my son's book and that's always good.
