GOING BACK IN TIME

Tonite I created a layout using photos from a play that my youngest son Thomas was in back in January 2007.  He was only 8 years old and in the Second Grade at the time.  I chose my photos for the Colorful Creations Song Challenge which was to use something from the lyrics of 'Private Eyes' by Hall and Oates.  I chose the phrase 'watching you'. This was a big accomplishment for him, being so young and landing one of the lead parts that had lines that needed to be memorized in only 3 days so I am entering it in the Scrapping Everyday Miracles Main Challenge #31 which called for creating something that was about an accomplishment. I embossed a tag for Top Tip Tuesday which I colored with Distress Inks and Distress Stains and Adirondack Paint Daubers and placed my title on it.   My tip is to start by using Distress Inks to edge everything and over the top of the embossing.  Next I dab a bit of stain and bit of paints on my non-stick craft sheet.  I use a cosmetic sponge to dab them in various places on the tag.  I also sometimes add a bit of Perfect Pearls on top but this time I chose not to as I wanted to be sure that my title would stand out.  I am entering it in the Kaboodle Doodles challenge #184 Music and the Arts, Kraft Journal challenge #133 Sew So Simple which called for using Kraft paper (heart and star on tag) and sewing and the Whoopsi Daisy challenge Show Us Stitching! I have also entered this in the Scrapbook.com Multi Pic Challenge calling for 3 or more photos.

And finally, here is the layout:

I really enjoyed doing this layout and remembering seeing him in the show.  I hope you have enjoyed sharing my proud Mommy moment!
