Scrapbook Challenge

My good friend Erica is my Stampin' Up Demonstrator. She's the one who got me hopelessly hooked on stamping and is running a scrapbooking challenge for her clients. She posted a sketch for a two page spread and is looking for submissions. I tried hard to follow the layout she'd posted, but my photos didn't quite match up with the sketch. So here's my loose interpretation instead.....

My older son, is a huge ham. Loves the camera, and is the king of funny faces. He's at the perfect age to have just SO much fun in the snow. Too bad we've just had a cold icky winter, not a ton of the white stuff to play in. He did however have a half day of ski school and loved it. The pocket on the right hand page holds his "report card" from ski school.

The photos of this page aren't the best because I'm taking them at 12:30 AM E.S.T. What is wrong with me anyways? Honestly, I've had these pages in my head for days, fooling with them on paper, and finally got it to work out the way I had envisioned it. Maybe NOW I can sleep.

details: background "Snowflake Spot" stamped in craft white on bashful blue. "Snow" is bashful blue big deal alphabet which I then overstamped with the little snowflake from the snowflake spot with craft white "fun" is whimsical alphabet in old olive. Old olive and always artichoke used for matting the photos. Scraps of the Holiday Mini Designer Paper (of which I have a lot in my "stash") used as accent paper.
