Cowboy in training ~ Practical Scrappers May Sketch by Pia

Hi everyone, today is the May Sketch reveal over at Practical Scrappers..  We had two great but very different sketches!  I chose the one by Pia and here it is...

The photos I chose for this layout are of my son back in 1987 when he was 8 years old.  At that time we were living in Alamogordo, New Mexico..  Every time we would go back to OK to see our family I would have pictures taken of both kids at Blunck's Studio.. I did this until they graduated from High School... 18 years worth!!!   I'm trying to scrap some of the ones that didn't make it into their album..  I don't know how I   ended up with almost all of the proofs, too.. :o)  Anyway.. I used the western stickers on this layout because, to me it looked like what you might see in the desert and we lived right by White Sands Desert...

here are a few close ups...
