Sweet Boy Love! - Paper Issues

I love sketches.  They are a great jumping off point when you are stuck in a creative rut.  Over on the Paper Issues blog, there is a new sketch each month.  

Let's take a look at my layout.  It is an older picture of my love.  He loved his pacifiers and obviously loved more than one.  If you put one in his mouth upside down, he would flip it right over in a blink.  As adults, we tried and tried to do it too but couldn't!

Isn't he tiny here?  I just love him.

Now, lets take a look at the sketch.  

If you head to the Paper Issues Blog, you will see how other team members interpreted the inspiration.  

I used Crate Paper Little You and it is available in the Paper Issues Store for 20% off with code: Mary-Ann.

Mil Vanil - Simple Stories

Join me for my second post of the month over at Simple Stories.  This is Milford.  We were lucky to have him for 9 years.  He was not a healthy little guy but the most lovable, loyal and smart cat we knew.  We lost him 2 years ago and still miss him every day.  

On this day, he was hanging in a grocery bag on the floor!

Sweet Guy - Paper Issues

Today's layout combines a bunch of different things.  Although it is on the Paper Issues Blog, I used A Flair for Buttons flair, along with This Guy collection by Photo Play, available in the Paper Issues Store.   Use code: Mary-Ann for 20% off.  

The photo is from a photo challenge that Paper Issues also help on the PIFF page.  

The photo is based on the hashtag #grow.  

My dad actually made this ruler.  Soon, he will be off the chart!
