PASTEL WEEK - day 2

Here is my take on the pastel weeks. This is a picture of my almost 16 year son, who is 5"10!! Freaks me out he was so little. When he was little, he was in Kelly's daycare, and this picture was taken by Kel while he was with her. It was a great feeling knowing my son was well taken care of and loved!!! 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.

  2. What 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!
