Scrap That! PageMaps Challenge: Dear Santa

"Max and Whiskers" meets Christmas! :) Here is my 31/2 year old son and my 6 year old beagle on Christmas Eve - 2009. They both look like they have been up to something...something naughty for sure. I had so much fun mixing up "non-Christmas" papers and chipboard pieces for this Christmas layout.

I created this layout for a PageMaps "Scrap That!" challenge. Here is the sketch provided by Becky Fleck. There's still time to play!

First Solo Ride

This is my son (age 4) on his first "solo" roller coaster ride. My husband had to get off of the ride last minute, and I was very concerned about how Sam would do alone...but look at how incredible happy he is! He definitely did not get the "theme park gene" from me.  

I used Pencillines Sketch #231 as my inspiration for this layout.

Supplies Used:

Patterned Papers (Sassafras Lass, October Afternoon, Echo Park, Basic Grey, Bo Bunny Press), Tim Holtz "live" tag, Cosmo Cricket stickers, Jenni Bowlin butterflies, American Crafts letters, Spare Parts metal
