Ship Ahoy It's A Boy!!!

There is nothing more precious than a new baby boy!  

I love creating pages that announce the arrival of the new babies in our family...although the children are several years old before I get to the layout!  LOL  

For my November DT assignment at If It's Groovy, I created this layout of my youngest great-nephew Isaiah,  which was inspired by the Heather Leopard sketch below:

Heather's Sketch

The product feature this month at Paper Secret's is October Afternoon.   For the 2nd Paper Secrets sketch challenge I used OA's "Cakewalk" collection which as you will see, was perfect the for the sketch we had to work with.   Because this collection included a sunburst patterned paper, I did not have to go through the trouble of "creating" a sunburst.

Here is the sketch by Liz Chidester

So if this sketch inspires you and you would like a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to the Paper Secret Shop, create a layout inspired by this sketch and upload it to the PS sketch challenge HERE, no later than November 29th...11:59 PM (PST)
