Adorable Boy Layout

I'm thinking 2 posts in 2 days might be a bit too much for my computer to handle. If you don't hear from me for a while after this, it might be because my computer smoked and sputtered and died from the shock! This page was after my youngest son was born and was meeting his MeMaw and PawPaw for the first time.

I'm entering the Getting Scrappy Challenge at Amanda's Crafts and More. This time the challenges is Banners or Pennants.

Now, in the interest of full disclosure, I'm going to tell you, I saw this layout idea here. I just loved the sketch she used and she did a beautiful job of scrapping her pictures.

I'm also going to enter this layout here. The challenge was to use the sketch they provided to make a layout.
Here's the sketch:

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Sketch Challenge and BAP

I'm cheap, frugal. Bargains make me feel tingly all over! :-) I love when I can buy 1 thing that does the job of 2 things. It makes me feel smart, so I love the fact that this layout completes the requirements for 2 challenges.

First off, I joined the BAP (Build-A-Project) challenge at Creative Kuts. This week, they sent me the title, the grass border file and the flower border file and I used one of their paper piecings to make a layout or card. The really cool thing is if you join their VIP program, they send you a free file every month. I have a whole set of the bunny files I got for free. All I had to do was join. Easy, right?

At Amanda's Crafts and More, the challenge is to use a sketch to make a layout. That's it. I love that there's so much flexibility in this challenge. I've joined challenges here before and it's so much fun.

Here's the sketch I used for this layout. I got it from  4 X 6 Photo Sketch Blog. She makes sketches using only 4x6 photos. This saves me so much time because I don't like to crop my photos, at all! Her site is awesome!

So, this layout satisfies my creative and cheap  frugal nature! Love it!

Have a great day!
