Great Ball of Fun!

Good Morning!  I want to share a layout that I was inspired to scrap by a challenge on two different blogs.....Child's Play Challenges and Scrapstuffz' Inspired By.  The creators of the two blogs thought it would be fun to do a crossover challenge....the photo inspiration coming from Child's Play Challenges and the sketch from Scrapstuffz' Inspired By.

Sketch from Scrapstuffz' Inspired By


After seeing the colorful sand art photo, I knew immediately which photos I would scrap for this challenge.  The photos were of Ava, her mommy, and grandpa playing with a toy that expands in size, extending into a large ball.  I was inspired by the bright colors of the sand art.  Although the sketch is a single layout, I chose to turn it into a two page layout.  I like to scrap with circles and bright colors......going with rings to mimic the toy in the photo.  
Supplies-Basic Grey "Hey You" and "Hey Girl" collection, BG "Hey You" elements, MM Cheeky Pebble Stickers, Amy Tangerine Thickers, Misc ball title, Misc Rub On, Misc Washi, and Wood Veneer.

As I mentioned in my last post, I have scrapped several layouts using Basic Grey's "Hey Girl" and "Hey You" Collection of paper and elements.  Maybe this means that I should be more creative and try a new techniques, or shop for different paper!  Either way, I love to scrap for my family and love to watch as they look at their albums, discussing a favorite family activity, holiday, birthday, or event.....means the world to me. 

I would like to thank a scrapbook friend, Steffanie, for encouraging me to try this month's challenge.  This was a fun challenge and will certainly do more challenges on both blogs.
