Leaf Slide (Let's Scrap)

Hello and Happy Wednesday!!  Today starts a new weekly sketch challenge at Let's Scrap!  This week we have a card sketch, but I turned it into a layout.  That is the beauty of Let's Scrap - you can use the sketches as a guide to create what you want on paper!!

I have been on the Design Team at Let's Scrap for 8 months and have been able to get about 50 layouts done thanks to the weekly challenges and other fun challenges!  If you are looking for inspiration - come check us out!!  Oh yeah, we also have awesome sponsors and prizes!!
Here is the card sketch.  I used a title instead of the sentiment and leaves instead of stars.  Last fall, I raked all of the leaves in a pile at the bottom of my slide and let my daycare kids slide into them!  It was safer than jumping in the pile!  I got some great pics - this one is my Tanner.
I have these awesome wood veneer leaves and took some Glossy Accents and Lindy's Stamp Gang Miracles in Mission Bells Brown and created a paste.  I painted the wood pieces and got a wonderful shiny dimensional finish! 
I cut this polaroid frame from the Silhouette store and trimmed my photo to fit.  I tied some twine around the bottom of the frame and glued a leaf on the knot with Glossy Accents.  The rest of the leaves are cascading down the page. 
I inked the edges of my paper strips and adhered my title at the bottom of the page. 
I have been waiting for the perfect sketch for this photo and now I have the perfect layout for it!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

If you are looking for Lindy's Stamp Gang Miracles, I found mine HERE.

  2. Your son is so handsome. You are the L/O Queen, Miss Lori. Every time you post a L/O I try to get another one of mine done, and now I'm only 3 pages shy of finishing my 2012 album. Go, me! (You're not going to ask about 2013, are you?)
