Trying to get that perfect picture

supplies used - kraft cardstock - Close To My Heart,  patterned paper - Simple Stories Homespun 6x6 paper pad, heart punch - Martha Stewart, Alpha stickers - red - October Afternoon, blue - Jillibean Soup

Ah - the perfect family photo. They are few and far between at our house. With Shane we are on a strict time limit. When he is done taking pictures, he is done.  And then, of course, there is always operator error - meaning I'm hitting the wrong button - instead of hitting the timer button I'm actually taking the picture. That is the case with these photos. But, if we just stick with it - once in a while we do get a good one!

I decided to play along with some of the sketch challenges over at Cookin' Up Creations.  This is the sketch that I used
 
and the challenge was to use distressing. I distressed the edges of my paper strips and inked the edges of my hearts. Two of my favorite things to do!

I am also entering it in the Lasting Memories #180 Alpha Wars challenge - to use 2 or more different alphas.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Brilliant - love the kraft background, and very classy use of multiple fonts.

    What a fun layout - love how you did the strips of paper - great choices. Such a fun thing to scrap. I did a similar layout when my kids were little. trying to take the Christmas card picture was not easy with an almost 2 year old. These layouts make for great memories!!
