I used the current challenge on The Pink Elephant for the layout. I wanted to get a picture of my little guy at a parade or wearing his daddy's Army coat, but then I remembered this picture taken with my Grandfather's WWII veteran hat. The picture is actually pieced because I couldn't figure out how to isolate the hat and keep it in color and yet keep the Zaniac in sepia tones. I really need to learn how to use my Photoshop to it's full potential! LOL
The Burgundy background is stamped with a large wood block script stamp - man, I haven't used one of those in ages!! I then sponged around the edges in the same Scarlet Jewel ink. I cut out a bunch of stars in the cream and navy and distressed up the edges of those too. The title area of the sketch showed it in a long line - I'm a very literal person, so I was going to do just that...stamp it out in a long line on cream cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great beginning to your week! :o) lyss
