Seasons of Change Blog Hop
Scrapbook challenges has a whole new look which is perfect considering we are moving on toward Fall. Fall is my favorite time of year...cooler weather, more time spent walking and out of doors, my anniversary, Halloween... I could keep going. Like I said, I love Fall. Anyhow, I digress. A lot of great things are happening at Scrapbook Challenges this weekend which include a blog hop, prizes and lots of challenges. So check it out. Before you go, have a peek at my take of this sketch for the blog hop.
I captured my son reading. While he is not reading to me in this particular photo, I journaled about how much I enjoy it when he does. He's a late reader due to some hearing issues. So seeing him read and having him read to me means a lot. I became a more fluent reader by reading to my grandfather to sleep at night. It fills me with a lot of joy when my son reads to me and reminds me of those times with my grandfather.
I chose this journal spot which my friend, Toree made for me in a Club CK swap. I love the bookworm and have been dieing to use him on a page. I added some white stitches with a Martha Stewart opaque pen. I felt like it gave a chalkboard/school theme feel to the border. The patterned paper is My Mind's Eye complete Boy stack. I loved it's grungy look and fall like colors.The title is made with American crafts thickers.
To get moving on the Scrapbook challenges blog hop, start over at Pamela's blog. To see other Scrapbook challenge members blogs and their take on the sketch, dont' forget to stop by Scrapbook challenges.
