Sweet Little Moment - Sketch N Scrap February Crop Challenge #3

Hello, everyone! Happy Super Bowl Sunday to you! Will you be watching the big game or will you be scrapping the night away? I know we will have it on and we will be rooting for the Bengals - even though they beat out our Raiders in the first playoff game - but really we won't care either way. We just want it to be a good game. And if it's not - you can bet I will be working on a layout or card!

Today I am sharing a layout that I created for Challenge #3 over in Sketch N Scrap's Monthly Challenges Facebook group.  I chose Sketch N Scrap's Sketch #152 from May 1, 2018:

And this is what I came up with:

I used papers and embellishments from my February Stash Bash kit on this layout. All of the papers are from Echo Park's Hello Baby (boy) collection - except the orange - which is an old My Mind's Eye paper.

I only had this one sweet photo of my boys -  from 20 years ago - to use on this layout. I can't remember if this was the day we finally got to bring Shane home after spending 16 days in the NICU, or if it was a few days later. It couldn't have been too long after as I see the cords from his heart monitor in the photo. 

This photo just melts my heart every time that I look at it! Matthew is loving on his little brother and I can just imagine him letting Shane know that everything's going to be okay - that he is there to watch out for him!

Here are a couple of close-ups:

I tried really hard to use those big rosette embellishments that I had included in my kit but they just turned out to be way too big and way too bulky for my liking, so I made my own version with my circle punches and pinked circle dies. I love how they turned out and with making my own version, I could make them as big or as small as I wanted. I finished off this cluster with a few stickers from the sticker sheet. 

For the title, I used the mirrored word "Sweet" from Pink Paislee. I almost didn't use it - the "W" looks a little foggy about halfway down. I tried to get the plastic off it but it was like it had melted onto the letter. I decided to just go ahead and go with it. 

I am so glad that I finally got this photo scrapped!
