"Let UR Smile Be UR Strategy" Layout

Happy Friday!!!!

Today I am sharing my DT reveal for the " Game On" Sketch with Stash Challenge at

Scrap Our Stash

The challenge was to use the sketch below and add either game or game cards!   I found a chipboard dart board and dart in my old scraps from  the Crate Paper " Toy Box" collection.  The most difficult part of this challenge was to come up with a ttile that tied in the dart and dart board.   I did a search on google and "whala" I found the saying: "Let your smile be your strategy!"  Perfect for this photo of my "favorite" nephew with that wonderful smile on his face!

Supplies:

Patterned Paper:  Echo Park " For The Record"

Dart & Dart & Dart Board:  Crate Paper "Toy Box"

Title Work:  AC Thickers & EP "For The Record 2"

Wood Veneer Star:  Studio Calico

and here is the sketch:

I am also entering this layout in the following challenge:
