MWM Carnation #4 & Scrap Our Stash Challenge #31

As I sat down to start this layout this morning I naturally gravitated towards a picture of my middle child. He was with his dad at urgent care because his cold/croup/strep/whatever seemed to be getting worse. They think it is croup and just told us to keep an eye on him. I hate seeing his normally joy filled face so sad. He lights up a room and I wanted to do a layout of him to make him smile, which it did!

The sketch is from ScrapbookSteals.com Mid-Week Mojo Carnation #4. It was perfect for the picture that I wanted to scrap. I also participated in Scrap Our Stash's Challenge #31 which was using items in our stash that start with I-N-K-S. I am loving the challenges from this blog as they have me digging through items that I haven't used in years! I painted the name title using the leftover frame from a project I worked on last week. I also pulled out various glazes/glosses to experiment with adding a little extra oomph to some embellishments. I learned that glossy accents works better than diamond glaze. I accidentally cracked the glaze putting the adhesive on the back. Now I know!

I wrote a special note to Fletcher and put it in this pocket. It keeps both the sentiment private and my 2nd grade handwriting hidden!
