Levi and Little Tex (Colten) - November, 2009 "WINNER over at If The Shoe Fits ~ Scrap It"

Hello everyone!!!  We have had a beautiful weekend here in south/central Texas.  A little windy, but the sun is shining, the birds are singing and it's just an all around beautiful day ~ perfect for scrapbooking, but then any day is perfect for scrapbooking for me!  Here is a layout I did of my son and his son, my little grandson Colten.  He is wearing big sister's hat and just looks soooo cute.  This picture was taken back in November when Colten just turned 1 year old...  The sentiment on the hat reads "It's the little things the make life BIG"..  And I mean it literally in this layout!!  Our children and grand children are all we have to show for ourselves when we are gone..  And they mean the world to us!!   Okay on with the details ~ I also did this for a few challenges which are:
Stuck On U Sketches ~ Sketch
A Spoon Full of Sugar ~ Lots of Layers
Crafty Calendar ~ Keeping Warm (the colors)
Frosted Designs ~ Chipboard

When I started this yesterday it was also to be for the Practical Scrappers Challenge which was embossing.  I didn't realize that it ended last night...  I would have gotten it done yesterday if I hadn't had to help build fence...  My son was helping DH, but had to leave around 5:00PM, so you guessed it, I was volunteered to finish it up...  Oh well, at least the weather was pretty...
