My Mind's Eye Sketch Challenge

Kurt always has loved costumes and dressing up for different roles. As a Philadelphia Eagles fan, it's hard to take his latest Tony Romo obsession. All he wanted for his birthday, (yesterday), was a Dallas #9 jersey. I could not refuse a seven year olds only gift wish so now we shall listen to his banter about how cool he looks for days. He has already declared that he wants to wear it today, tomorrow and Monday! He requested that we wash it Sunday night,...lol. Anyway, I digressed.....

It was so cute to see him at Awana's Pinewood Derby in his racecar driver costume. And, what an awesome line of papers and embellishments to document the occasion! This quick and easy page was made using mostly MME's Abbey Road Round & Round Collection and their current sketch contest.

Also, please check yesterdays post and enter a guess to Scraptiv!ty's February kit. I know this sounds dramatic but my excitement yesterday when I found out what was coming my way, from them, brought tears of joy to my eyes. LOL, it's true. :) Unbeknownst to me, yesterday's layout was totally appropriate as another clue to a manufacturer being represented in the kit. Dare I say that it will be an ultimate favorite of mine yet. I only hope that I can live up to my expectation of what I want to do with this kit!! The technique is going to be awesome and fabulous for a Valentine type month!!

  10. Thank you for so many lovely compliments!

    Cassie, the yellow border pieces were cut from a specialty paper. I'm pretty sure it came from a K and Company 12 x 12 Silhouettes Die Cut Paper Pack.
