I Love Your Baby Blues

I actually got lucky and got to participate in two challenges with this one layout.
Capture These Sketches had a great sketch - # 51
They are also running a chance to enter the end of September as a guest designer on their blog with this sketch. Pop over and check it out.

Better scraps has their 2nd challenge posted for September

“Bad photo challenge”
Create a layout using a photo or photos that you would normally have discarded or dismissed.
Chose at least 2 of the following:
1. Use rub-ons or stickers directly on your photo(s).
2. Use paint on your page in a messy or unusual way.
3. Use a die-cut or pre-purchased journaling “spot” on which to write your journaling.
4. Use this sketch as design inspiration for your page.
5. Make a handmade flower using Katie’s technique in our August 1st reveal, and use the flower on your layout.

I used to of my least favorite pictures with three of the above options.

Let me tell you the reason I don't like these pictures ...they remind me of a time that wasn't pleasant. My first husband and I divorced this year and went through difficult times. Divorce is horrible but children take so much in and rarely complain. These were tough years for all of us.
Supplies used:
GCD Studios- Melody Ross -Homespun Paper
Beautiful You- Cosmo Cricket rub-ons
Chatterbox paper
Close To My Heart Journaling spots
American Crafts puffy Thickers Blue
Scribble 3 -dimensional paint in baby blue

Thanks so much for stopping in today, I so enjoy sharing my layouts with all of you.
