I am in love.

With this boy who is growing and changing and maturing right in front of my eyes.

With DCWV’s The Whimsical World Stack and it’s bright, vibrant colors and patterns.

And especially with Shimelle for telling me I don’t have to cover up all those patterns I love.

So, I followed her Sketch 7 to make this layout showing off everything.

My layout~

I started by picking out my favorite patterns from the stack.

As a bonus the circles reminded me of the spiral slide he’s in.

And I won’t comment on the spikey ones possibly looking like the static in his hair. He he.

Since the colors went so well together I added bits and pieces from the October Afternoon Woodland Park collection.

For my journaling I printed directly onto the patterned paper.

It looks great, but does require an extra minute or two or heat gun to dry.

With that I finished a layout that I love and Holden will too.

At least until he notices his hair. Eek!
