Then & now

My husband's nephew is getting married in a couple of weeks and as a gift, his mother-in-law-to-be is putting together a scrapbook album for the couple. I created the following double-page layout documenting how Christopher has grown over the years. I chose pictures of him at various ages, with a picture of the couple as the main picture. My husband wrote a message where he talks about how proud he is of his nephew which I turned into a letter and used as my journalling.

The page layout is based on the current Stuck On U Sketches challenge. I kept very true to the sketch while adjusting it to a 2-page 8-1/2 x 11" layout. The page elements include:

• Ezee Pzee chipboard - Shelley's Borders: Swirlies (coloured with Copic marker and a layer of Glossy Accents added for shine)
• Bo Bunny rub-ons, sticker strips, title (layered throughout)
• Martha Stewart border punch (for the journalling block)
• Fabric leaves, unknown
• Lace flower ribbon, unknown (used as a strip but also cut and coloured with Copic)
• Copic markers
• Glossy Accents

Challenges:

• Divas By Design - anything but a card
• Moving Along With the Times - anything but a card
• Papercraft Star - STAR (swirls, title, adhesive, rubons)
• Shopping Our Stash - things starting with "S" (scrapbook, swirls, stickers strips)
