Doing The Happy Dance...

Forgive me but when I finally finish an album, I get pretty excited!  Today, I finally finished my summer album from 2012 and as a result - I am doing my little happy dance!

To complete this album, I needed to do three more pages.  The first page was inspired by two challenges.  The first, is a sketch from Sketch N Scrap.  The second, was a music challenge with Scrap It With A Song.  Here is my work:


Due to the tons of sun (not complaining), the facial expressions are lost in the photos.  However, I love how my son just simply enjoys greeting the ocean and I couldn't resist scrapping these pictures.

Here is the sketch from Sketch N Scrap:


This is a fabulous sketch!  It is so simple but yet lots of room for creativity!  Check out what the design team did with this sketch!  To join me on this challenge, be sure to link up your work by April 30th.

For the second challenge which is hosted by Scrap It With A Song, I used the April Rock Song - "Hello, I love you," by the Doors.  Obviously, I used the word Hello in my title and I love my son dearly.  However, there is also line in the song that states "Let me jump in your game."  Though the song might have been referencing something entirely different, I was inspired to use this song and these photos because my son is jumping in the game/ocean.  This challenge also closes on April 30th.

As I mentioned before, I had two additional pages to do to complete my album.  With the desire to just get it done - I just quickly pulled together these pages.  No challenges - nothing fancy.  



Thanks for stopping by.
