Little Man

This week's crafty project was created while escaping the swarming gnats that invaded our campsite.  I gathered up some supplies to take on our weekend camping trip and I forced myself to use just what I brought to create this week's layout.  This layout is based on the sketch by Melodee Cloud for ScrapbookSteals.com for the weekly mid-week-mojo challenge.
I combined lots of scraps and pieces from different manufacturers to come up with this layout featuring my youngest "little man".  The only thing I don't love is the orange washi tape that I placed above the photo.  Normally, I just slap some washi tape anywhere on my layout and peel it off if I don't like how it looks.  Except this time, when the washi tape peeled up the background paper, so it stays just where it is. 

Play Ball!

This week I dug out some old photos and an old Fancy Pants collection to create this layout for the weekly sketch challenge at Scrapbook Steals.

These papers are from the Like Father, Like Son collection and I thought they paired up nicely with a father/son game of catch.  The paper was already distressed, faded, and splattered, but I added some Mr. Huey's mists to add even more character.  All of the products used on this page were purchased from Scrapbook Steals.  Here's the original Kristy Lee sketch that inspired this layout:
