Built Tough

Built tough is a layout for the sketch at Sassy Lil Sketches this week of my son being so cool and tough looking in his attire before his 8th grade graduation dance back in 2005. He thought he was something back then- and he still does..lol

I try to do a layout every week using only scraps of everything- from my tray where I collect all the little goodies and I don't want to throw them out of file/organize them. And this layout I really used up alot of my stash from paper that I had already used the center of -so I used the left over border.  The banner flags and the cut out arrows with words on them. And the title also was cut out and sitting in a basket on my tray. I chalked the background with blues and greens and tied some twine on the frame with the title in the middle. I hand painted black mats on the photos and added a little butterfly to my stamped journaling tag.
