My son's looking like a "Cool Dude"

This picture was taken of my son Brian getting ready for his 8th grade graduation dance back in May of 2004-isn't he COOL looking? I will be applying this over at SOUS for their great sketch challenge- once again, I gave this alot of thought and like the outcome of this layout for my son's scrapbook.
 Papers used were Kaiser Kraft, Pebbles Inc. and white cardstock. Also I cut a piece of acetate in an oval shape and placed on top of the papers and used slick writer in black and Galazy marker in white for my own doodling around the edge of acetate. Made some circle embellishments with circle punch and white eyelets using my crop-a-dile. Then with my Gypsy for welding the title used the cartridge Lyrical Letters on white cardstock and layered them one underneath the acetate and one on top. Other items were pop dots, black marker, yes paste, brown and black ink.
 Here is a side view of the layout to see the acetate a little better. I like how masculine this page turned out for the Cool Dude! SOUS=Stuck on U Sketches see my left side bar for link.

  6. Yes he does!!! Great take on the sketch, Debbie, it's a perfect "guy" layout!! Great color choice and I love the pp!! So glad you joined us over at SOUS this week!!! Hugs!!

    BTW wanted to let you know how I attached my paper to the canvas I did... I am the super glue momma!!! First I used my tombo runner on each piece of pp, and then I added a very fine bead of super glue around the edges and down the middle of each piece... It did not bleed through and the back is perfect... But be sure and don't use toooo much.. A little goes a long way!! I add super glue to everything except my photos and anything that touches my photos!! It keeps the heavier embellies where they belong!!! Hugs!!!
