Innocent?

I just love Karen's sketches! They give me so many ideas for adding layers to my projects! I took this photo of my son a few summers ago. It reminds me of the idea that all children look innocent when they are asleep.

Friends

SWAT 
Drill # 24
Sketch with Buttons 
Buttons always leave me wondering if I should:
1. Sew them on with floss
2. Tie them on with twine
3. Just use a dab of glue and call it good.
For this layout I decided that a glue would work best. I was going for colored bubbles and needed the transparent effect.
~ Friends ~
Be sure to stop by the SWAT blog and check out the interpretations of this sketch and how the DT decided to use buttons! Can't wait to see what YOU make!!!

Paper, Diecuts, Title, Trim:Glitz Design

Fancy Frost

My favorite part of scrapping layouts is finding the right papers to accent the color combinations in my photos. I'd say that the sparkly paper from DCWV is just about perfect for this winter theme.
~ Fancy Frost ~
I decided to go for an all out glitz look to mirror the frost crystals in the photo.
To add to this theme I added dots of silver stickles to my chipboard.
