It's Timeless Twine Day!!

Hey Everyone!! 

It's my post today over on the Timeless Twine blog and today I'm sharing a layout with all of you. I took these photos of my oldest back at the end of August. I jumped on the opportunity, as he does NOT allow me to take many photos of him anymore (those teenage years, sigh). But, he got some new clothes for school and he thinks he can model, so he wanted to do a "photo shoot". That was right up my alley!! So, needless to say I've been itching to scrap some of the photos I took that day; this one just happens to be my favorite. 

For this layout I used the following:

Authentique Paper - Curiosity Collection

Timeless Twine - Graphite Grey

Basic Grey Chipboard - Hey You

SVG Tag & Flag Tabs - Scraptastical Kreations 

Heidi Swapp - Felt Heart Stickers

KI Memories - Softie stickers 

Misc - corrugated stars that I received as a RAK

I'm pushing myself with every layout to go above and beyond my comfort zone. And, I have to say, I've amazed myself lately! I have always loved the layered look, but I was always intimidated by it. Not anymore!! I absolutely LOVE it and I'm becoming much more comfortable with it. I really love how everything flows so well together on this layout. Although, if there was one thing I could change, I would replace my journalist and add it somewhere else. I'm not super fond of it where it is, but it must stay there now, lol. Well, I hope I have inspired you all in some crafty way today. Thank you all, so much, for stopping by.
