OK, here we go!! The 2 pager first :) From the minute I drew the sketch I knew that I wanted to use this fun paper from Kaleidoscope that I have had for like 2 years!! I had no idea what pics I was going to use, but started laying it out anyway. The page started on Soft Sky..then I pulled out these pics of Michael and decided to change the background to white. (See, I never adhere anything until the whole thing is basically done...I change my mind a LOT!!)
The other thing that I knew I wanted to use was the fun little "Remember when" stamp over in the corner. Its a Unitystamp from the kit "Bliss & a Birdie", the June Kit of the Month. It has been begging me to get it inky all month!
Its such a fun little stamp. It was kind of getting lost in the pale but oh-so-funky green, so I sponged the edges with some blue to help it pop a bit. (thanks to Faithfor reminding me that I have a whole drawer full of sponge daubers that I have been neglecting). I also stamped the image again on a scrap of the pattern paper and pieced the arrow back onto the image for a little extra somun-somun. The circle stamp is again from the fun "Crcle of Thanks" kit from Unity...I stamped it on the orange PP, then randomly colored in a few of the dots with a white gel pen.
The hugely fun "M" is from a pack of chipboard that I picked up 2 years ago at CK Convention...it is from Rusty Pickle. I have the whole alphabet and I have been seriously hoarding it!! Shame on me, it is too fun to hide away!! I covered the M with some of the same PP and then did some major sponging on the edges so it would pop out!! The rest is pretty self-explanatory...I added a bunch of buttons, some clips, and ribbon then spelled out the rest of his name with CTMH letters that I just love!!
