For this layout, I used Maya Road chipboard butterflies as a mask, Tattered Angels shimmer mists, Echo Park Be Mine papers, Pink Paislee Parisian Anthology tickets and trim, Cosmo Cricket alphas, Around the Block alphas, Memory Boutique ribbon, EK Success Fastenator staples, DMC embroidery floss, regular office staples and a binder clip.
I combined 3 challenges for this one layout. Inspiration from Nerdy *Victorious* Scrapbookers, sketch from Paper Secrets and Scrap Whispers requires the use of office supplies somewhere on the layout.
If you’d like to play along w/any of these challenges, here are the links:
Inspired by the song Superman (it’s not easy) by Five for Fighting.
This one is for Alex’s album, but has one of the same photos as “Fall Attitude” in Madison’s album.
The morning started w/me trying to get Alex to change his shirt before school, but he really wanted to wear this shirt. It was Madison’s first day of Kindergarten at the “big kid” school and she was soooo excited…until we got there. Then she was just terrified. I had Alex, Madison, Matthew and Christian who was just 2 months old with me and I was trying to figure out how to escort her in w/all of them when Alex asked me if he could please take her. I was so relieved! He was our hero that day. Later I was thinking how appropriate that shirt was after all. 🙂
That same day, he had show and tell at school and he took his stuffed animal (Yoshi) to school, so I got a couple of pics of him at the bus stop.
This layout is for a challenge at Back Porch Memories to use a song title. The song Superman (it’s not easy) by Five for Fighting immediately came to mind not just because of his shirt, but also because the lyrics say “it’s not easy to be me” and that he’s only a man, etc. Alex is a fantastic older brother so it’s easy to forget that he’s only 9 and still vulnerable himself. It’s also based on a sketch provided by sketchabilities for a challenge on Sketches in Thyme.
I used Webster’s Page Wonderfall on this lo, along with some of their trim and sparklers. Prima pearls, Tattered Angels Shimmer mist, Maya Road chipboard butterfly.
