For this I started with StampinUP cardstock and used a 2" square punch for all the squares. The paper is DCWV Nana's kids, they are pastel yellows, blues and greens. 
Here is a close up of the title, I layered it in blue and then ran it through the cuttlebug, swiss dots. I think I cut this from George and the Base Shapes. I cute the parenthesis using Core'dinations paper, and I sand papered that and inked as well.
awww I remember the little dude when he was just a wee fella. I cannot believe that he is a teen!! I feel old.. LOL. This layout is awesome.. I love all your "tile" work.. I'll have to scraplift this idea for sure. I saw this in person and it rocks!!! I'm laughing at the idea that I put such a big bib on this little man.. LOL Fantastic embossing.. I just a love a little cuttlebuggin' on a layout.. makes it I think!
ReplyDeleteWhat a super layout (and a GORGEOUS little guy!). I love the inked patchwork squares. They're fantastic! How wonderful that Kelly could watch your son. We always had private sitters too, and were so blessed with the wonderful care our children received. Never a worry!
