I created this layout for my oldest son, Wyatt. He's 4 1/2 years old now and FINALLY- he has learned how to give me that great smile/pose within the first couple shots when I pull out my camera. Here he was playing at the park and I got this photo on the second try. I just tell him to smile and he knows what to do! SO nice, especially when I have two other children who are currently not so cooperative. Gunner has his days when he "feels" like giving up a grin to the camera, and Aspen- she's so busy discovering the world around her she won't look at me hardly at all!
SO- it's nice to have one child who can make my "mamarazzi" life a little easier! Lol!
"They Learn"
Since Kaiser Craft is sponsoring Scrap Africa for this challenge, I thought it fitting to use some Kaiser Craft papers on this one :). A few months back I won the KC Saturday Sketch Challenge and was able to choose a complete collection as my prize. After discovering the (then) new Tiger Lily range was sold out, I went to an old favorite- Sweet Nothings. But I haven't used it since I got it- until now. I've been working with blues and greens a lot lately it seems- probably since I've been doing boy layouts. The colors of these papers are perfect for my oldest son- and I had plenty of coordinating floral goodness to turn to as well!
Here is Sketch #5 from Scrap Africa...
And here are a few details for you...
The fence is Scrap FX, one of their new releases this month...
Okay! So you can see I love closeups, I always include probably way too many but I know that when I go to scrappy blogs, I love studying the closeups when they're included...so for those of you who don't like them- I apologize!
I'm going to warn you, it'll be quite a busy week on our blog. I know Kelly has a lot to share this week and I've been a scrapping machine myself lately- so let me just say "I'm sorry" ahead of time if we're eating up your blog roll, Lol!!
Have a great day :D- see you real soon!

I love all the close ups! I can get to see more of the fabulous layers that your pages always have. You & Kelly can eat up my blog roll anytime you like, it's always a pleasure Tx
This is stunning. I've spent all day struggling with doing my LO for Scrap Africa..after seeing yours I feel like binning it. Adore your layers:):)
Gorgeous gorgeous. I have those LEARN alphas and have looked at them and thought "blaaaa" but they look fabulous here. Maybe I need to re look at them. Beautiful work.
Love it!! so many layers and gorgeous things to look at - I agree - love the close ups, I never feel my work is good enough for close ups ... but yours?? Absolutely!!! :-)
Wow! This is just absolutely GORGEOUS! The mix and layers is just stunning!
Such a beautiful use of the sketch, Erin!! I love this pretty Kaisercraft line...there are some great soft colors and they look great with your b&w photos!!
you are apologizing for putting beautiful artwork on your blog? lol..you're a nut! I love to come here and get my daily dose of wonderfulness, this layout has so many pretty details, thanks for the closeups, they are perfect to really soak up all the good stuff you put into each of your creations...and Wyatt is too cute :)
Erin I absolutely love your closeups, never ever appologisefor something so fabulously creative and inspiring, and then to show us extreme closeups, thats our advantage! I have so been in love with your creations ever since I saw my first one. You and Kelly are so talented in your own rights! I explore every aspect of your LOs, and am always amazed at the gorgeous products and how you combine them so elegantly and perfectly with stunning B&W photos. One day I hope to be able to be somewhere near good as that! ( need to know where to get the gorgeous products from in NZ!)

You are such a master of layering. I really don't know how you do it but the results are beautiful!
Never apologize for too many posts!!! And thanks for the close-ups! I, too, love studying the details -- it's a huge help when I'm like, "how'd she do that?!?" Ha! :)
