Sleep Tight - a Scrap the Boys challenge

Hey friends!

I'm here today with a layout I created with a fun challenge from Scrap the Boys. What a great blog, and I can't believe I have not participated before.


This layout was based upon a fun sketch from Laura Whitaker:


I had these three sweet photos of my boy with his 4th birthday gift of a big boy bed, and they were perfect!


I used these fun eyelashes from the new Ink Road Stamps Iconic collection instead of E's in the title! I love they look like asleep eyes, and let me tell you - this boy has lashes for day! So unfair lol.


These transparent ephemera pieces from Shimelle were perfect for a layout about bedtime! It is hard to photograph a bit - it says "to the Moon & Back."

I also got these great WRMK dies at Tuesday Morning that were perfect with my star theme!


I also picked up this dot textured Kraft and LOVE it! 


I sewed a circle around my star background staying true to the sketch and I love how that turned out as well.


Only a litte journaling was necessary to tell this story, and accenting with acrylic stars brought the theme together again.


Aww that sweet sleepy baby face is already so much bigger!

I loved working with the Scrap the Boys challenge. I'll definitely be coming back again.

Supplies:
Kraft dotted cardstock - Bazzil
Patterned paper - WRMK
Die cuts - WRMK, Maggie Holmes
acrylic stars -Studio Calico
Alphas - Bella Blvd
Stamps - Ink Road Stamps
Transparent ephemera - Shimelle

Thanks for looking!
